OOC Star Wars: Rise of the Jedi

Heir

Hey Sak,

One thing I noticed on your bio (just been doing some notes cleanup) is that you mention Berru is "young", but if she was born during the clone wars she's got to be in her 30s by now roughly. Not a big deal, doesn't affect anything...just fyi.

Sakutian

Thirty is fairly young don't you think? She is younger in mind than she is in terms of her actual age at any rate. Thanks for pointing that out to me.

Heir

Ok young at heart.

Sakutian

Heir am I correct in guessing that Master Skywalker's companion is a stranger to all of us?

Heir

This is correct. You're welcome to ask him questions of course, or if any of you are trained in an applicable knowledge skill I'd allow that as well to give more backstory.

Heir

Or just provide commentary, whatever. Just wanted to break up the wall-o-text incoming.

Heir

Sqeeeee! It's a mission!

Sakutian

Berru being a miner's daughter actually comes in handy. Wooh! Also...Hutts!

Heir

Just wanna say that I'm really enjoying all three characters so far. I can already picture their personalities, it's pretty cool.

I'll let the master and apprentice talk a bit, then I'll send you to your destination (a black hole, you're welcome Klivian).

Klivian

Great, our master is basically Santa Claus... knowing if we're good or bad ALL the time.

Thanks, Heir. I hope it's one of the *nicer* black holes.

Unless they come to the cockpit, Rek will just finish the pre-flight and get us on our way. En route, though, he might try a little research especially concerning customs of the court. Don't want to use the wrong fork and start a war.

Heir

Don't forget the dossier...cough cough.

I'll get you guys along here in a bit.

Klivian

I can't read or write.

fadingathedges

Thirty is young you little bastards.

Klivian

Shouldn't you be rewinding your VHS tapes or something?

fadingathedges

When I was in high school we had a specific device that did that.

Klivian

Did you have the one shaped like a race car?

fadingathedges

No it was shaped like a shoebox and almost as big. It sat behind the giant television.

Sakutian

See someone else who realizes that thirty is young. Thank you.

Super Namicchi

young for a glacier, maybe

Heir

I'm 32, so I guess I shouldn't talk.

It just seemed like Berru's backstory made her out to be a teenager or a young adult at best. It's not a huge deal, but yeah.

I had surgery this week. Feels Old, man.

e~ What's this new SW rpg a recent PA referenced? I was intrigued.

e~e~ Is there a better place for me to ask than Heir's OOC

Heir

The fantasy flight one? I think @Klivian has the beta.

Klivian

A friend has the beta and let me borrow. I haven't run a session yet though. I've been meaning to pick up the starter kit and run a one-off to get a feel for it.

The specialty dice are kinda funny to me. The rulebook read like "entitles you to a plus two blue triangles and two green octagons at the expense of one red circle".

Sakutian

I want to check out the Edge of Empire so badly, it looks really interesting. The free adventure they released drew me in.

Heir

Need a persuasion check from whomever wants to reply to this guy.

Klivian

There we go. I'm sure this will turn out well.

Sakutian

Berru is going to hang back in engineering until shots are fired.

Klivian

Yeah, I was going to suggest manning the turrets... you know... just in case.

Sakutian

Berru does have some nice starship manuevers as well.

Klivian

oh yeah you do. I didnt see that. yeah berru might be our sh** hits the fan pilot.

Heir

Meanwhile, Aira will be having claustrophobia-induced panic attacks in the back when the shots start to fire.

Heir

You guys have a choice here. You can follow the escort to the system (what I assume you'll do).

Conversely you can leave, or you know...try and land elsewhere and get blown to bits.

Klivian

No intention to deviate from our course.... FOR NOW...

Sakutian

I see a third option. We could blow these mouthy little bastards out of the sky.

Klivian

yeah! two z95s are gnats! and I'm sure we have a big lead on the gunship!

Heir

Haha suuure you do. Did I mention the place is crawling with ships? Some are Imperial who I'm sure would LOVE to blow up a ship carrying probably 20% of the known Jedi population.

Sakutian

Size matters not. Look at me. Judge me by my size, do you? Hmm? Hmm. And well you should not. For my ally is the Force, and a powerful ally it is.

However I thinkMaster Yoda would advise us to be cautious and avoid conflict in this instance.

Heir

Mr. scowling-face is falling asleep wondering what you guys are doing in there.

Sakutian

Mr. scowling-face is lucky Berru was just told to control her temper. My first instinct was to have her open fire with that fancy turret after they fired on her ship. That is going to take her hours to repair you know?

Heir

Meh, they essentially just fired a shot off the port bow.
