Stars Without Number: Revised for Foundry VTT

Archived

I don't have time to work on it anymore, and frankly better of not lying to my self that I still do.

Stars Without Number: Revised

The year is 3200 and mankind's empire lies in ashes.

The Jump Gates fell six hundred years ago, severing the links between the myriad worlds of the human diaspora.

Now, the long isolation of the Silence falls away as men and women return to the skies above their scattered worlds.

Will you be among them once more?

Features

• Player characters
• Weapons and items
• Psionic powers and foci

Dev crash course

1. npm install
2. Copy foundryconfig.example.json to foundryconfig.json and make edits if you want a different dataPath for working from.
3. npm run build:watch
4. npm run foundry in a second terminal if you stuff a copy of Foundry into ./foundry and want to use ./data as your dataPath

Special dev features

I've done some weird/unique things to this systems, and more are set to come.

• Avoiding Javascript for Typescript for better type sanity
• Since JSON it down right picky, I compile YAML into JSON
• The NeDB files are a pain for diffs, between compaction and the append only nature which scrambles the lines around, so I make them as well from a folder of YAML files.

The todo list

• Class power support
• Ships
• Vehicles
• Copies of all the roll tables
• Mods
• Factions and Faction Assets
• Deluxe Rules support, sans content:
  • Mechs
  • True Ai
  • Transhumans

Licence

This system is licensed under AGLP-3.0.

TL;DR: You mod it and share it, you send the changes. No ifs, ands, or butts.

The contents of src/packs/ are mostly text from SWN Revised Edition (Free Version) with slight alterations to better fit with Foundry VTT. All rights for the included content belong wto Kevin Crawford. I've followed what Kevin Crawford has said on Reddit. [1] [2]

Abandonment

TBD. I'll figure out the exact wording and times later, but I do want to make a proper note about it, since I'm aware that modules and systems not getting updates is a bad time for all users.
