now in the odd and weird departement

[queenofguns]

A long time ago, before D20 was a idea in monte cook mind, I played starwars in the D6 rule system for 6 year (4 year intensive,2 years on and off with other games). All the players went their separated ways ( read got girlfriend, jobs and sometimes both) and I left the universe of starwars far behind.

Then (now that I am 31 years old) I got a whole new gang and I decided to do a one shot.

of course it was just way too much fun so we did another... and another... so now its pretty much a regular game.

so I got this odd crew, one Jawa droid egineer, one dug captain of a mobquet medium freighter, one sluissi ship enginer, one twilek pilot and rebel officer in training and one human ace pilot.

Now its like a zoo in there and lets not forget lots of droids like a mdical wich also double as a cook droid so it fix you up and then it fix the supper as well so no more the doc said you cant eat that routine.

and the human pilot? well he use to be a big porn star who decided to do something meaningfull with his life.

of course the rebel base had to be a junkyard in space owned by a hutt (yep a hutt as a rebel base comander named Junka the hutt)

surprise surprise, no one in this group can do a decent fight (unless its in a starfighter or a space ship) but they use droids, computer virus, subterfuge, biological warfare (the barf gas), blackmail and bribery to fufill their mission (and sometime lots of explosive when subtility fail miserably)

their most memorable moment was when Igota (the human ex-porn star) got into trouble with ladies with nasty knifes. They dint want to kill or hurt him (exept perhaps his ego) so they cutted his clotes to bits and they let him run away pretty naked.

of course at the same moment the Imprerial army commander was doing an interview and has he was saying: there is nothing unusual going on here, Igota ran far in the background and everyone on holovid saw him.

needless to say, it has become their modus operandi and cell quote:

There is nothing unusual going on here.

but its not a comedy. there are some pretty dramatic moment like when they had to help a bunch of crime sindycate to knock an imperial force out of a system and of course the imperial captain had to be one of the few good one around who was hunting almost exclusively pirates and scumbags ( and rebel but only when they fell in the pirate category) so the line between good and bad was a little blurry on that one.

I like to twist their mind a little. So the campain has a mission impossible undercover hi-tech with ships kinda feal and its been great so far.

now if they could find a dam name for their ship that would be nice

I say name the ship "I'm a Squid", or "the Streak", or "Flasher", or (and the list just gets longer).

I like the "I'm a Squid" best.

thats gota be one of the best grups ive ever herd of.

[queenofguns]

it all started as a funny game with no tomorow so I wasnt too strick on the characters ( the ex-porno star stage name was bigcok, fist name Igota) and of course I said NO JEDI ALOWED.

Jedi are serious buisness. And besides one of the player wanted to do a Darth Clown so I had to stop this whole madness with extreme prejudice.

All and all it came around very nicely. So there a bunch of privateer working for the rebellion. They do jobs on the side to repair and upgrade the ship.

and they get crazy macguyver idea:

They builded a extra hyperspace generator for the lobster manuver. basically just when a ship enters hyperspace, it gains a hell of a wallup acelleration and for a picosecond, as a ship cross from realspace to hyperspace, the shipe bend the laws of physics and goes beyond lightspeed. They rigged their hyperdrive to stop hyperspace entry at the last second and rejump again and again giving the shipe a tremendous boost of speed.

As they were about to be caught by a star destroyer and his tie escort, they activated the device for a lets get the hell out of here manuver and they crossed the whole system in about a minute. They did merry hell to the ship integrity, messed half the ship system, got several holes punched from micro meteorites, and only a heroic starship repair test and a heroic astrogation saved their ship.

then I did a little cutaway sene showin a man in black (Imperial Security) speaking to the CAPTAIN of the star destroyer: thats very unfortunate for you COMMANDER.

after regaining counciousness ( yeah that was hard on their system) they saw the star destroyer come at them.

I guess none of them got good grades in astrophysic as they forgot a little mather of time dilatation. the faster you go and the more time differential increase.

while only 2 minute passed inside the ship, almost 3 days went in real space.

the only reason the star destroyer wasnt on the top of them is because their astrogation officer wasnt good enough.

they managed to get away again and I did another cut away:

how unfortunate for you Lt COMMANDER.

I am having way to much fun in this game

Can I play? Can I play?

UPDATE:

1- The ship has a name! its called the Big Mama.

2-I did a little mistake and would like to apology to the big mama's captain. Hen is not a dung, he his a proud member of the veknoid alien species.

now the interesting part:

as the rebellion is still pretty new and in build up stage (about a year after the destruction of the death star but before the battle of hoth) our favorite group of jolly jurry rigging macguyver and scotty only wish they were that good managed to get quite a rep as a test drive unit and they started working on some new but largely unfinished desing made by Dodona. (they are working to help the creation of the A-wing by tweeking the engine)

so anyway, Dodona comes to person ally thank them and talk tecnobable when he say:

"you know I got a good friend called Blissex who could really help us out but he was 'convinced' to work exclusively for siennar. I wish we could rescue him..."

of course you dont need to yank their chain more than that. So off they go for a rescue operation in the corporate sector in a unnofficial mission that even the rebellion wont attemp because its way too dangerous.

They manage to get all the paperwork from the corporate sector (dam you almost need a permit to walk on the sidewalk in that place) using some good old fashion blackmail and bribes and taking a delicate job from a crimeboss. (smuggling lobsters and hi-quality wine for some anonymus important people)

so here they are in the middle of the galactic starship expo where all corps with any interest in starship attend for one big month. So after spending a couple of days drooling on the new engines ships and the booth babes they get some various jobs as technical consultants (Itchiwa the jawa has droid engineering and the sluissi has starship engineering) so they get a couple of jobs like troubleshooting a brand new engine from corelli corp and various opportunities.

now the problem: Sienar is bragging about their new Tie interceptor and of course their experimental super star destroyer (wich is about 75% complete but the players had no way to know that.) so frontal assault is not the best idea. They know blissex is kept somewere in the SSD and they had to come up with some serious ideas to get the things rolling and get away with it.

Ill post more about it later...
