	West End Games - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		This game, Ghostbusters: A Frightfully Cheerful Roleplaying Game, formed the basis of the d6 System which was to be heavily used in many of their licensed products.
		Their early work on the Star Wars Roleplaying Game established much of the groundwork of what later became the Star Wars Source information, and their sourcebooks are still frequently cited by Star Wars fans as reference material.
		Lucasfilm considered their sourcebooks so authoritative that when Timothy Zahn was hired to write what became the Thrawn trilogy, he was sent a box of West End Games Star Wars books and directed to base his novel on the background material presented within.

	Echo Station - Aurebesh Soup
		I was employed as a graphic artist at West End Games for close to 13 years during its heyday -- and spent ten of those years as the company's art director.
		Designing roleplaying games often includes preparing player handouts, and a distinctly Star Wars alphabet would be a major asset to setting the tone of a game.
		West End not only published a great many Star Wars game supplements, but also came out with a line of metal miniatures for the game.

	Echo Station: The West End Games Crisis
		Any hopes of West End Games resurfacing after the recent bankruptcy are growing dimmer and dimmer in light of recent news.
		West End can't afford to pay the writers, but more importantly, they cannot afford to pay the money to LucasFilm for Star Wars, let alone the money for the Xena/Hercules, Men in Black, DC Heroes, or StarGate SG-1 rights.
		An interview with several former WEG writers is in the works, and with any luck, the rest of the picture should be forthcoming.

	Ludography
		A simple wireless game in which you receive a "hand" of five words, each belonging to a different category (there are eight categories in the game) and trade words with other players over the wireless network, attemping to collect five words all belonging to the same category.
		Angrily and violently satirical roleplaying game that seeks to rub players' noses in the moral implications of their actions by (ostensibly) providing them with a game that lets them play depraved, psychotic monsters who rape and murder and steal in the modern world.
		When West End went out of business, they lost the Star Wars license, which Wizards of the Coast picked up; the current Star Wars RPG is unrelated.

	Aurebesh - Star Wars (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
		The assignment of the letters to their English equivalent was developed by writers at West End Games for Star Wars: The Roleplaying Game.
		When Aurebesh-like writing appears in the original trilogy, however, the assignment of the letters determined by West End Games produces nonsensical results — most words seen in the movies appear to consist solely of consonants, and some letters appear on screen that are absent from the West End Games Aurebesh.
		These graphics predate the West End Games description of Aurebesh, and produce gibberish if those letter assignments are used, but have been corrected in the special editions.

	Pyramid: Pyramid Pick: MasterBook Games / Bloodshadows (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
		MasterBook is West End's entry into the generic RPG sweepstakes.
		West End games are traditionally a bit rules heavy, and MasterBook carries on that tradition, rather than trying to buy into the rules-lite paradigm of hot systems like Storyteller and its ilk.
		Complexity wise, the game falls squarely in the familiar generic territory staked out by Hero, GURPS and Role Master.

		One of the strengths of the D6 System that's rare among other games is the ability to modify a roll after the fact, using Character Points; it makes the game more heroic, and leaves the players with lots of options.
		Some gaming groups don't have a problem with this, and they've sorted out the issue on their own.
