Where's the Star Wars Avatars?
Published on 27 December 2012 - 06:37:58

Why aren't we getting any Star Wars avatars yet? The only thing that pops to mind are licensing issues (the no-software debacle). I can't see that fitting here though since we already can get avatars of sorts by our names by putting a Star Wars game (X-wing, Beta RPG, Beginner RPG) in our favorite list.

I figured it might happen when the Beginner game went to the press, but it didn't. I'm visiting the Star Wars forums now almost exclusively but still have a Game of Thrones symbol as an avatar.

I am also eager to put up a Star Wars avatar, preferably a Stormtrooper.

We'll probably start seeing them once the final version of the corebook comes out (Spring 2013).

Licensing shouldn't be too big of an issue, as even WotC had a bunch of Star Wars avatars (mostly figures from their minis line), and FFG has avatars based upon images from quite a few other licensed products (SoI&F/Game of Thrones, Warhammer, Cthulhu Mythos).
