The HoSS Question Dump

[quozl]

Would one of you be interested in writing HoSS articles for the Codex?

Now that I've finished all the available play-tests, I'm wondering if there's anything else I can do. I noticed the Chief Librarian gig is vacant. What does that entail/could I do it?

Im sure the guys can find a place for you. The playtesting never ends.

There are some Episode II designs that just need their initial playtest then they will be available in public playtesting. May be a few designs from something other than the movies, too. (insert evil laugh)

On a related note, we've been looking at some ideas in the HoSS Inner Sanctum that will open up the project to more public involvement. Some really great members have been pulled away to other group and personal projects as well as other games (shame, shame!!! ) leaving us shorthanded. Stay tuned!

Do you have plans for designs for non-movie characters?
Thinking TV, cartoons, video games, books, comics, etc.
Are any of those on or off the table?

Are you embracing the old novels or going more toward the modern movies?

Cool to see things popping around here.

HoSS has previously dipped into the ExU of old. Arch did Grand Admiral Thrawn and I did Prince Xizor. IG-88B was the only one seen in the movies, the story of the other 3 IG-88 Models was from other stuff as well.

We've got some designs kicking around for some very recent TV stuff and some from the Clone Wars TV show. We have some designs from the original iteration of HoSS that covered some Extended Universe characters that haven't hit the redesign board, yet. Our main focus is still to finish the characters from the original 6 movies, but we are certainly open to other characters.

One thing we are discussing is public participation. We have never done a good job in the public design space. We are looking to revamp that process to allow and encourage more public participation.

My personal opinion is that anything in the Star Wars Universe should be open to design whether canon, legends, movie, TV, comic, etc.

Cool.
What is different from old to new HOSS?

I'd second this

The original group worked on one design at a time, each member taking turns. The designs were thoroughly theory-scaped but not fully playtested. Once the group was revamped (and renamed HoSS), we instituted a regular playtesting regimen and focused the designs mostly on one movie at a time, with multiple designs in progress at the same time. Worked fairly well when we had a larger active group. It's been a lot slower process over the last couple years.

My hope for Legends Grevious remains!
