Hey Sevrick,
I decided on uploading the new version, even without the vehicle combat, because I think it will be specially useful for you, while you edit content to your modules.

Sounds good. I am almost done with the Edge of the Empire Core. I will upload the 3 core rulebooks 1st, then alternate adding supplements to them.
Also I noticed a couple of things. The Lightside and Darkforce die symbol is really small. I think it would be better if it was about the same size as force die. The failure and success look a little small too. Also there is no force die. Meaning the symbol used for commiting a force die. The Proficency I guess could double as the same symbol, but I guess without color not much can be done.Last edited by sevrick; October 27th, 2020 at 13:33.

In the books a white octagon represents a force die anywhere a force power says Commit a force die. You can see this in the Enhance Force power tree. Now that being said a yellow octagon represents Proficiency dice.
As it stands now there is only a white octagon symbol which says is Proficiency. Untill we are able to add color you could just use the same symbol for both and rely on context. I think I remember you saying you were haveing trouble with getting color on the symbols?Last edited by sevrick; October 27th, 2020 at 16:02.

I had an idea, and went to check how formatted texts work:
Unfortunatelly there is no current way to create symbols with different colors.
Code:<char_notes type="formattedtext"> <h></h> <h>Special character codes</h> <p>Use this special code and text will automatically replace with Genesys Symbols or Dice Symbols</p> <p></p> <p><b>Symbols:</b></p> <p>ÿ - ÿ - Success</p> <p>þ - þ - Triumph</p> <p>ý - ý - Failure</p> <p>ü - ü - Threat</p> <p>û - û - Advantage</p> <p>ú - ú - Despair</p> <p></p> <p><b>Dice Symbols</b></p> <p>ö - ö - ability die</p> <p>õ - õ - difficulty die</p> <p>ô - ô - proficiency die</p> <p>ó - ó - challenge</p> <p>ò - ò - boost</p> <p>ñ - ñ - setback</p> </char_notes>
I will see if there is any workaround, will let you know, but didnt want to raise your hopes
For now unfortunatelly, in order to differenciate from [P] Proficiency (white hexagonal symbol) we use the [F] symbol for Force Dice, which is a half white, half black circle
EDIT: yeah no way around it, who knows in the future FG enhances this allowing for color, but not nowLast edited by johniba; October 27th, 2020 at 17:12.

Out of curiosity, has anyone ever tried altering the actual 3D dice that get rolled in the game to look like Genesys dice?

That's ok proficiency as a symbol is very rare. In fact the only real place I see it is when describing the core dice mechanic.
