Happy new year.
I guess you have been wondering where we have been for over three years. Please let me bring you up to speed.
Exhausted from years of contending with other RPG groups, fighting with other deckplan sites over the theft of intellectual property, and debating people who actually like the Prequels, we as an organization sorely needed a break. We realized there were bigger problems that needed our attention so we shifted our focus.
We had been running a new SWDA forum, in complete secret, since we seceded from the old forum. In this new place of solitude a smaller group of us continued our research and study of all things Star Wars®.
One of the greatest lessons we learned managing the new forum is that all topics should be allowed on the table thus heated arguments about religion and politics should not be hampered censored or restricted in any way. We realized the fires and passions of argument eventually go out and in the long run the sense of freedom to say whatever whenever prevailed. Overall it was a successful experiment in liberty and communications.
Yet another discovery we made was the severity of the fatal turn the Star Wars® community had taken in the past decade. We noticed that since the Prequels the number of Star Wars® fans in general were drying up. Furthermore since the 2008 “Clone Wars” movie, infighting and departure of additional Star Wars® fans were on the increase.
“ Star Wars® is hemorrhaging fans. ” — Charles Rothberg (Original SWDA Webmaster)
We likewise discovered the “Pen and Paper” roleplaying community was in dangerous decline. The number of RPG campaigns and activity on RPG forums was no where as active as seen in the 1990s.
Our conclusions were that the “snowball effect” was eroding the Star Wars® fan-base due to the mounting problems with continuity between the Old Trilogy and Prequel Trilogy compounded by the even bigger continuity problems formed between the Prequel Trilogy and the new Clone Wars Series. A massive age gap has begun to form in the Star Wars® fan-base. Of those who remain, they are mostly composed of an older demographic of 30 to 40 year olds who favor the Old Trilogy and very young viewers who follow the CGI movie and TV series.
We thus concluded George Lucas had made his own bed on May 19, 1999 and would eventually have to lay in it. We as an organization could not stop the destruction of Star Wars® from that end of the equation but we could work with surviving fans to preserve the Star Wars® of old and raise the bar from the bottom up. To this end, we present to you our latest tool to expose and organize all the problems with the Star Wars® Prequels. We encourage you to read, think about, and come to your own conclusions about what we have to say in our new Star Wars® Prequel Commentary.
We also chose to train up a new generation of Gamemasters to help the dying traditions of “Pen and Paper” RPGs. To this end we started a secret Gamemaster Academy and began training new GMs to play RPGs across several RPG systems and Genres.
We have opened the door to the public, through the medium of social media, and created a Public Facebook Page for any related discussion or comments about our organization. Feel free to express your opinions about us there. On the new Facebook page, we are presently discussing our years of work on the Brian C. Daley, Z-95 Headhunter from “Han Solo at Stars' End”. Likewise, we welcome any comments and opinions about our design based on Brian C. Daley's descriptions in said novel.
We have begun the laborious work of creating a concordance of the Star Wars® Expanded Universe and plan to upload a master index with page numbers of every subject mentioned in every Star Wars® publication from December 1976 to May 18, 1999. This new concordance will allow Star Wars® researchers the ability to quickly find everything mentioned about a given subject in seconds instead of days. The first modules of this massive project will be coming soon.
Lastly after a through clean up, organizing, and revising of the site's XHTML, CSS, and Javascript, we will be resuming 3D modeling and ship production. Thank you for your patience.
— Frank V Bonura (Star Wars® Deckplans Alliance founder)
Coming Soon, Brian Daley's Z-95 Headhunter.
Ernest Gary Gygax — July 27, 1938 - March 4, 2008
With great sadness and many regrets, we must inform the role-playing community of the passing of our beloved father Ernest Gary Gygax.
Gary was the creator of the first role-playing game Dungeons & Dragons which would form the gold standard and high bar for all other RPGs to follow and aspire to. Gary's game mechanics and rule systems would also have a pivotal influence on the video/PC gaming community as well.
Gary always had time for his fans, always had some good advice for novice DMs/GMs, and was a kind wise teacher to me and my players. I knew him well and Gygax will be sorely missed. — Frank V Bonura
Updates and progress to the new 3D model of the Ghtroc Class 440 Light Freighter have been posted.
Welcome to our tenth anniversary celebration!!! To celebrate, we have done the following:
There is more to come this year. Thank you for ten great years of your support.
We apologize for no updates in December 2007 but our busy schedule prevented such. We are looking forward to finishing most of the projects we were working on in 2007 and also hope we can finish some long dormant projects as well this year.
Next month will mark the tenth anniversary of this website. It has been a long road these last ten years, involving thousands of hours of hard work, but the rewards were worth it. Thank you everyone for years of support, input, and help. — Frank V Bonura
We have expanded the “Behind the Scenes” section of the Ghtroc Class 720 Light Freighter page. The expanded section was added to tell the complete story of how the freighter was developed and explains all of our theories and displays our study images used to complete the original deckplan back in 1999. I very much enjoyed going back reminiscing and remembering all the important details and I hope you enjoy them too. — Frank V Bonura

Happy 30th Anniversary to all!
Our new mailbox here in downtown Harrisburg is wearing an R2D2 Tuxedo so it must be time for the 30th anniversary of Star Wars®. I have been contemplating the events of the last 30 years while trying to remember important events of the Star Wars® phenomenon for this commentary. The strange thing about this anniversary is the more I think about it, the less I feel like celebrating. The last 10 years of Star Wars® have felt more like fighting a war than any sort of celebration so I have decided to crawl out of my foxhole to say a few words to our visitors. I did not want this 30th anniversary commentary to come off as negative but I suspect that is unavoidable so here I go with guns-a-blazing.
The early years of Star Wars® were truly worth celebrating. We had toys (action figures, play sets, vehicles, and Halloween costumes) , all sorts of games (board, video, and roleplaying), collectibles, cards, VHS tapes, comics, novels, and 100 other mediums to celebrate this ground breaking phenomenon of film. Perhaps what was the greatest aspect of the phenomenon were the Star Wars® fans themselves. Fans who were a community who could not get enough of Star Wars® or anything to do with it. Alas these wondrous times did not last forever.
On February 11, 1996, like a forecast of doom, we loose beloved Star Wars® novelist Brian Daley to cancer. Hence fourth it would seem Star Wars® would head in a downward spiral. Shortly after this grim news we learn George Lucas has decided to return to his long abandoned franchise and in so doing introduce some new special effects into a trilogy that redefined special effects in the first place. Initially I was excited to hear of a Star Wars® renaissance in film and the coming of three new movies but this jubilation would be short-lived.
What we wound up with are a set of revised films (The Special Editions) that changed the content of the original story (Greedo shooting first, Boba Fett appearing in Episode IV, etc.). The new special effects did more to distract the viewer from the original story, and render the scenes in the old film with a patchwork of inconsistent-looking footage as you flash back and fourth from new to old. To add insult to injury, George Lucas declares these revised films canon and further declares the cinematic originals will no longer be available for sale in any media form. Had it not been for the outrage and very vocal complaints of Star Wars® fans around the world, we might have lost the original reason we became Star Wars® fans in the first place. For those who spoke up for the re-release of the original trilogy in its original cinematic form on DVD I personally thank you.
In 1998 the trouble continues as WEST END GAMES develops financial problems and loses the licence to produce the Star Wars® Roleplaying Game. What initially seemed like bad news to us role-players, turned out to be a mixed blessing, in the long run, for some of the fans of the old WEG D6 game. The WEG D6 RPG game that ran from 1987 to 1998 would not be influenced by the events to follow and has become a refuge for those fans who embrace what Star Wars® was and not what Star Wars® has become.
We waited 16 years for some new Star Wars® movies and in 1999 it looked like our wait was over. I went to the theater to see Episode One "The Phantom Menace" and then I saw Jar Jar Binks. What made me a Star Wars® fan in 1977 was hopelessly reversed on that terrible day in 1999. I left the movie theater in what I can best describe as shock because, at the time, I did not know what to think. I went to see the movie again to be sure I was not hallucinating but alas it was even worse the second time around. The event made me very depressed having invested so much time and money in a franchise that just stalled and crashed into the ground.
At this time several of my fellow role-players decided to quit the SWRPG because they too had seen Episode One and became so disenfranchised they would have nothing to do with Star Wars®. This only compounded my depression. In the end, I decided to press on and reserve judgment until all three prequels were seen. In hindsight I ask, "why did I wait?"
Episode Two and Episode Three came and went. With each new film my displeasure only grew. I recall while watching Episode Three, with my son and he whispered to me, "will this movie be over soon?" I considered that statement to be the final nail in the Prequel coffin. As I watched these last two films, I watched George Lucas not only trample his original scripts with conflicting story elements in his new movies but also watched as parts of the Star Wars® Expanded Universe were also undermined by the events of the prequels. This heresy was punctuated with the death of Amidala. Fans had known for years that Leia, by her own admission on Endor, knew her REAL mother and she died when she was very young. Completely disgusted, I have abandoned and ignored official Star Wars® material produced after the prequels altogether. I applaud all those who have done the same for the same reasons.
Today the once unified Star Wars® community has divided into many camps. Some embrace everything George Lucas produces as artistic genius, some despise the man for what he did to his franchise, some have given up on Star Wars® completely, and there are dozens of camps that lie somewhere in between. All I can ask Mr. Lucas is "was it worth having it your way George?" I guess he has his billions and we the fans are ultimately the losers. Shame on me for expecting anything else.
So is there anything worth celebrating today at all? Yes there certainly is. You are worth celebrating!!! That's right, you fans who are reading this commentary are worth celebrating. I celebrate you for coming here to read this website and view its artwork. I celebrate those Star Wars® fans who like us have demonstrated the backbone to say "NO" to George Lucas and his Prequels. I celebrate those visitors who gain a benefit from using our resources in their personal RPG campaigns. I also celebrate those fans who found mistakes on this site and helped us to correct them. I further celebrate those who went the extra mile and have made the decision to help produce artwork with us on this site. Today I do not celebrate Star Wars® but I celebrate Star Wars® FANS! I thank you all very much for all you have done. — Frank V Bonura

In April we don't fool around, we build ships so here is what we have today.
Now the Barloz is wrapping up we have been able to get round to finalizing one of the many projects that are waiting in the hanger. — “Quint”
Happy Saint Patrick's day everyone. We found a few snakes in the Barloz and chased them out.
Barloz progress continues. Update to Deck 3 of the Barloz-class Medium Freighter posted. If you are wondering why the galley (kitchen) now appears on both decks 2 and 3, please note the galley (kitchen) on deck 2 will be removed next week because it is being permanently moved up to deck 3 to free up more cargo space and to reduce costs on other Barloz optional equipment. If all goes well you will be able to test fly this new deckplan by Friday of next week. Thank you for your patience.

You heard right we said completed. This is not a test page, not a sneak-peak, not a preview, not an update, but a completed starfighter ready to fly. Please take her out for a test flight and enjoy.
We at the "Star Wars® Deckplans Alliance" measure our successes not by the projects we start but by the projects we finish. We will continue to focus on projects that were started and abandoned until all the incomplete projects are finished. Thank you. — Frank V Bonura
We have received a request via E-mail from Lucas P to remove the R2D2 Studio Model and A-wing Studio Model from our site. Due to the fact this artwork was made mostly by Mr. Lucas P. We at the Star Wars® Deckplans Alliance will comply with Lucas P's request. This decision may seem unfair to the visitors of this site but it would be an even greater crime not to respect an artist's wishes. We will not display art that is not freely donated to this site. This organization chooses to set a good example for the fan art community so we are submitting to Mr. Pichette's request and taking down the droid and fighter. We apologize for this inconvenience and we will try to roll out some new art for your use and enjoyment this month. Thank you. — Frank V Bonura
We have added a link to our first FAQ. This link is for those interested in additional reading about the split of the "Star Wars® Deckplans Alliance" and the " Star Wars® design alliance forum. This link was temporary and was removed on October 5, 2006.
We have received a request via E-mail from Brandon Koller to remove the Sienar Fleet Systems LSA and LSA-2 scout ships from our site. Due to the fact this artwork was made exclusively by Mr. Koller We at the Star Wars® Deckplans Alliance will comply with Mr. Koller's request. This decision may seem unfair to the visitors of this site but it would be an even greater crime not to respect the original artist's wishes. This organization does not conduct itself like a band of thieves or bullies so we are submitting to Mr. Koller's request and taking down the ships. We apologize for this inconvenience and we will try to roll out some new art for your use and enjoyment this month. Thank you. — Frank V Bonura
Another question has been added to the FAQ section. More questions and answers are coming soon.
Today has been a day long coming. After months of reading and educating ourselves in XHTML, our team set forth on the task of retooling the ''Star Wars® Deckplans Alliance'' website to the newest mark up protocols of the internet. After writing thousands of lines of new code, the central infrastructure of the ''Star Wars® Deckplans Alliance'' is now revised and ready for public use. Thank you Ross Hedvicek for all of your helpful advice and client website examples to pool ideas from (long live tables!). Individual ship pages are still written in the older HTML and will be slowly updated to the newer standards in regular intervals. Look for news of them here.
The ''Star Wars® Deckplans Alliance'' website is now reborn. The changes to the site will now allow improved access to those with visual impairments, improved navigation, and improved search engine results for those searching Star Wars® subjects. The switch to XHTML and CSS will also allow us to modify the site with greater ease thus freeing up time for drawing instead of site maintenance.
In light of recent events, the policies of this domain have been expanded, revised, and clarified. We ask that you please make note of them.
The theme of the new site pays homage to ''The Star Wars® roleplaying game - Second Edition Revised and Expanded'' by West End Games. The colors and styles are all patterned after the D6 rule book of the same name. We ask that you explore and reacquaint yourselves with things new and old on the site. Welcome and enjoy! — Frank V Bonura
Due to unreconcilable differences, the ''Star Wars® Deckplans Alliance Forum'' is no longer affiliated with the ''Star Wars® Deckplans Alliance''. I personally apologize for the inconvenience to the visitors, fans, and members of both websites. The ''Star Wars® Deckplans Alliance Forum'' has been renamed to the ''Star Wars® Design Alliance Forum'' to prevent any future confusion. The ''Star Wars® Deckplan Alliance'' will continue under its original name and will continue to focus on producing roleplaying resources as it has for the last 9 years. Thank you. — Frank V Bonura

With great pride I introduce the hard work of Brandon Koller. Behold the new CEC Barloz-Class Medium Freighter. I encourage you to give him praise, he has earned it. There is still hope for the future of the D6 Star Wars® Role Playing Game. Preview is posted in CEC.

Metric scale bars added to, and text changed on ALL decks and views of the Chubby Gundark
I have been very busy. Sorry for taking so long to update. New members have joined my design team, and I am helping them to get organized.
Due to numerous requests, I plan to focus heavily on the Baudo Star Yacht once I finish the SkyBlind. The Baudo Star Yacht is the most requested ship in both the web poll and personal requests, so I will try to finish it next. Revisions to the 3-Z exterior are posted.
Tactical Deckplans have been mothballed due to a weak response from visitors. I have added a metric overlay grid to the "Legend" section of the site with printing instructions. I will be slowly adding a new metric scale bar to the deckplans for those who need a metric scale. The Ghtroc 720 is the first to receive the new scale bars.
Due to numerous requests for a metric scale on my ships and a more traditional grid-style deckplan, I have developed the Tactical Deckplan. Do not fear, my original color deckplans are not changing or leaving. The new metric scale grid-style deckplans will be placed above (next to) the color deckplans. I am also thinking of adding callouts on the Tactical Deckplans for added clarity. The first ship to get these new deckplans is the lower deck of the Ghtroc 720. Check them out and let me know if you like them, or if I should change them.
Happy New Year to all.
