<p>Has anyone thought to create a comprehensive set of documents of the rules. What I mean is one document for equipment that is as inclusive as possible, gathering bits from various sources such as fansites, Star Frontiersman, Modules, etc. Another document could be a race compilation, while another could be a creature codex, and another a skill booklet that includes each and every skill/language/profession (star law, UPF personel)/etc.</p><p>Basically a compartmentalized treatment of the rules, yet as inclusive of materials as possible. My own opinion is for each of the documents be actual doc files rather than pdf, so that individual referrees can edit out or add to their individual campaign documents. For instance, I would like Cinematic Martial Arts added to the main docs but another referee might not want this, and could easily just remove the entry. This method of editing works well with rules that include lots of individual entries such as equipment lists, skills, etc.</p><p>If the tomes are divided up by dedicated folks to keep updated as much as possible, then it will be quite easy to have a dynamic rule base created. A little up front work might be necessary to produce the documents in a consistent manner using some basic rules for how entries should work, fonts/sizes to be used, how sections are divided, and so forth. I am not sure I would want the onus of trying to come up with the layout/rules for entries, but I would certainly be happy to be the compiler for a particular section. Each Editor/Monitor could be the contact point for folks wishing to submit entries.</p><p>Anyhow, interest? Ideas? </p>
