Re: Darths & Droids IV: Not in Numerical Order
Keybounce, according to episode 764 (Memnarch linked it in his commentary), in D&D comic canon it was Greedo Junior killed by Anakin, and Greedo Senior killed by Han later on. Was SW movie canon ever mentioned in comic (outside the commentary to ep 764)? I wouldn't be too surprised if comic canon (Jim's backstory) originally followed SW canon, the GM had to point out it didn't work, and Jim had to retcon it. But more likely Jim was completely oblivious and the GM just found a way to make it work.
I'm pretty much the opposite of concise. If I fail to get to the point, please ask me and I'm happy to (attempt to) clarify.

Re: Darths & Droids IV: Not in Numerical Order
... right, I forgot the name of the character who died in the latter scene had been swapped around.
I was actually wondering about the origins of Jim's Greedo in comic. Jim named his character on a suggestion from Pete, but I was wondering if he'd tied the (apparently extensive) backstory in with the original in-game Greedo. But as you just pointed out, Greedo isn't the shapeshifter in comic canon, just the identity thief ... but it's then established that his son was the one killed, and the boy was a rodian? Ahh well, I'm probably over-thinking it.
Speaking of Pete being Jim's friend originally, I had to double-check that Jim is actually there this session at all. But yes, he was the one surprised that Pete was playing a girl, and he was the second one to ask what the thing salvaged from the destroyer was last episode. (Ben speaks even less this session, but that's normal for Ben I think.)I'm pretty much the opposite of concise. If I fail to get to the point, please ask me and I'm happy to (attempt to) clarify.

Re: Darths & Droids IV: Not in Numerical Order
Ben does seem to prefer less table chatter. Possibly because it distracts from his problem solving.

Re: Darths & Droids IV: Not in Numerical Order
Archive binge around the start of this episode, plus a combination of good memory of where to skim through the comic and Google mostly never letting me down in text searches (stupid vaporator vs vaporators difference) mean it only takes 5-10 minutes to get enough to figure out what I'm looking for.

Re: Darths & Droids IV: Not in Numerical Order
Ah damn, there goes my theory that Unkar Plutt was Ben's next character.

Re: Darths & Droids IV: Not in Numerical Order
Spoiler: Spoiler for movieThe only one that appears before Chewie actually makes his appearance is Hux... and he doesn't die. Unless he's a random Stormtrooper that dies in the escape. There is the whole scene with Poe and Finn escaping next, then crashing, then Finn wandering the desert, then finding the settlement, then running away and finding the Falcon, and then they get captured by Han and Chewie already. So either he's Hux the whole time, and not Chewie, or he's gonna be gone a while longer. But I don't really see a fitting character between now and then

Re: Darths & Droids IV: Not in Numerical Order
Spoiler: TFAMaybe Ben is planning a new character, but then the campaign will go off the rails, so his new character won't show up before Chewie and Han.

That is a lot of random scratches. Couldn't even be bothered to mark them in fives?

Star wars plays way in the past, they haven't invented such advanced marking systems yet.

Re: Darths & Droids IV: Not in Numerical Order
That's an unbelievably basic marking system, since it's based on natural counting methods.
Hold up your left hand, palm facing you.
Fold down fingers as you count.
I
II
III
IIII
What does it look like when you fold in your thumb across the other fingers?

Re: Darths & Droids IV: Not in Numerical Order
Well, it's based on one natural counting method, anyway. Some people find it "natural" to count using the thumb to point to the joints on the fingers (which incidentally lends itself to a base-12 system). Others (this was how I was acculturated) might find it natural to start with the fingers folded in and then extend them as one counts them. A lot of supposedly "natural" elements of behavior are in fact determined by culture, and that's why it's easy to fantasize about doing highly unethical long-term experiments to suss out what is actually natural human behavior.

Re: Darths & Droids IV: Not in Numerical Order
I don't think there's anything covered up by that top panel. I've only seen the movie once, but I'm pretty sure this is just an establishing shot showing Rey eating dinner before it pans out to show the AT-AT.
The inset panel is showing the spaceship the GM describes. It's very faint, but you can just about make it out to the left of the speech box.

Re: Darths & Droids IV: Not in Numerical Order
IMS, Rey lives next to the AT-AT, so that's why you see it here. You actually see her leaning against one of the joints in the first panel.

Re: Darths & Droids IV: Not in Numerical Order
We do get the double.
But if you did not know that there was a ship lifting up into the air in that insert, you did not know it and the very faint thing that might be a bird doesn't look like a ship even going back (although, now that I know to look for it, I can see it.)
Equally, I did not realize until it came out in the non-spoiler thread, that Rey is using the fallen AT as her shelter. No sign of the trading post in that "pull out" visual?
And ... seriously, can't get a good parking spot. Why the heck does she not keep her hoverbike by her "house"?Not "fire at". I never used the word "at"

Re: Darths & Droids IV: Not in Numerical Order
Umm.
New comic.
Umm, is it too much of a spoiler to say that this is not how it played out in the movies?
Cos, yeah, I wasn't expecting that.
ETA:
What are you talking about? A month? My husband just told me today he once binge-read an 1000-page comic in less than a day!
... yeah, he can't actually remember which one, so ... :PLast edited by theangelJean; 2020-07-19 at 06:24 AM.

Re: Darths & Droids IV: Not in Numerical Order

Not much to say that doesn't need to be boxed.
Just that Troublemaker shouldn't be worth much as a flaw.
Standard adventurer traits shouldn't be rewarded just cause you write them on your character sheet.
Spoiler: Episode VII-IXRey Solo, huh? Interesting.
I wonder what that means for Kylo. Are they siblings? Is he a Skywalker? A random Vader-fanboy? Or maybe he is the Palpatine this time around.
Unless it's a trick to hide who she really is, like with "Adam" in Episode IV. Her being a Solo would explain why she can fly Han's pile of scrap though."If it lives it can be killed.
If it is dead it can be eaten."
