SWSheets “Mynock” Release Notes: Age of Rebellion, Force & Destiny, and Vehicles!

Hey gang!

The title says it all, but today marks a major new release of SWSheets.com. A few of these features have been live for awhile but haven't yet been properly announced. Now with the Mynock milestone complete, they're ready to show off to the public.

New Features

System Support

SWSheets.com now supports both Force and Destiny as well as Age of Rebellion. Force powers & upgrades are available to all characters now. The Knowledge: Warfare and Lightsaber skills have been added and will show when you select the corresponding game system for your character.

A note on Lightsaber - Depending on your Career and Specialization you can change the characteristic your Lightsaber skill is based upon. For this skill only, there are now left and right arrows that let you cycle through base characteristics.

Vehicles!

Vehicles are a relatively new feature to SWSheets.com as well. The vehicle page is pretty self explanatory but for the fact that the Starboard and Port defense zones will only show up once you have a corresponding silhouette of 5 or more.

Bug fixes!

Fixed a minor ordering when displaying attacks on a character with many attacks

Cleaned up the Edge of the Empire system logo to be more legible.

What's Next?

The next release is "Gundark." The highlights include better support for NPCs as well as some social / discoverability features. See the whole list of features here

As always, let me know if you have thoughts or feedback. Thanks!

SWSheets - Out of Beta!

I’m happy to announce that SWSheets.com has officially left Beta. No terribly serious issues were found by the first round users. The most severe were that I totally forgot about the Medicine skill and that I had an ordering issue with large sets of talents or attacks on a character.

I was really happy to see the enthusiastic reception from users on both the FFG forums and the SWRPG subreddit. They’ve been super helpful in ironing out the issues on the site as well as determining the next steps.

Over the weekend I’ll be putting together the list of features for the next release (codenamed “Mynock”). This is your last chance to weigh in on the SWSheets issues page for what matters to you.

Changelog from this last milestone:

Eight bugfixes including password reset issues, display issues when rendering errors, and some HTML bugs.

Reworked the Character URLs (sorry for breaking all the existing ones, figured it was better to do that sooner than later)

Split the “Gear” field into three breakouts in keeping with the original EotE charsheet.

Added author profile pages and a thanks page for the volunteers who have helped thus far.

The full list of changes from the Beta period is here.

Beta Statistics:

84 users

29 users who have created at least one character (this was surprising, figured it would be lower)

34 total characters

1 character deleted for inappropriate content (also surprising, figured it would be higher!)

SWSheets.com - Day 2

Building a website that other people are interested in is a blast. I'm glad to see almost universally positive reactions. There was one seemingly angry/disappointed person, but I don't think he understood that the site was free and open-source.

About 30 hours after I announced it there are 57 users, 16 of whom created characters. Furthermore I have 9 new items in the issues and feature requests page from the bugs and suggestions mentioned on either the FFG forums or Reddit.

I'm both relieved and a bit anxious about this. I had been assuming that I was the only person who was interested in this tool. It's exciting to learn I'm mistaken, but it also means I have real users with real data that I need to treat accordingly.

I'm glad I put all that time into user accounts and proper password encryption/reseting!

P.S. I'm not going to post updates about this every other day, but I just had to share my excitement with someone. =)

Announcing SWSheets.com

I’m proud to share something I’ve been working on for the past few months, swsheets.com.

Right now this is in Beta mode. I'm making every effort not to do anything dumb that would cause me to wipe all the data or something equally catastrophic, but I don't make any promises. I expect to be out of beta in 1-2 weeks.

swsheets.com is a website for creating and sharing characters for Fantasy Flight Games’ Star Wars: Edge of the Empire RPG. Right now it’s rather basic and only allows you to create, edit, and delete characters. I hope to add in printing to PDF next, but that’s a rather complicated task.

Please take a look and let me know if you have any feedback or thoughts. You can add bug reports to the Github Issue page and you are welcome to give me any other feedback you have by commenting below.

SWSheets is completely open source and I happily accept pull requests. Check it out on Github.

Thanks!
