    New comic

    What Pete neglects to mention is that the shock probe of overkill was A) connected to the plotonium sphere of endless energy* and B) still foiled by a bit of rubber.
    So... I'll take the blaster pleace. Thank you very much.

    Huh. I honestly did not remember Kylo Ren being at Takodana. Come to think of it, reading the comic, I'm realizing I remember way too little of this movie...

    My. At this rate, it might soon turn out that Pete, of all people, plays the only actual good guy in this chapter.

    I don't think Kylo was saying
    "Our agent: Han Solo."
    He was listing things.
    Our agent; Han Solo; The map.

    "Our agent" being Finn.

    To be fair, I think it might legitimately be just him and Corey at the moment. Yanni and Chewbacca are mercenary to a fault, Finn is a First Order loyalist, and Hux and Kylo are pretty highly placed in the organisation. It all friends on if BB-8 goes the way of R2.

    Although I wouldn't call Ben a definite bad guy just yet. In the D&D universe Hux might already be a Resistance spy.

    I mean, I don't have good enough eyesight to tell. But I think at this point either could work, while the latter is more likely it would fit Yanni to stay be work working for the bad guys.

    This reading was so obvious to me that I didn't get what the previous comment about Pete being the only good guy was about until you made this correction...

    I really wouldn't want to have a name starting with 'Z' with Yanni around. He seems to be operating with a pattern. Do we know his full set of identities to this point?

    Not sure this theory has been advanced, but I'm guessing "Yanni" fakes his death and shows up alive in Episode IX with a Z name

    I wonder if Kylo Ren is going to turn out to be Rey's half sister. I'm already interested in how they're going to play the two Kylo/Yanni scenes.

    Also, why not combine to two series. Yanni takes on a Z name, fakes his death, and turns up in the last campaign having stolen a droid's identity (155AC?).

    Is Pete going after Finn for not attacking off-turn? Parry rolls have been made off-turn since episode 1, Finn isn't attacking because Zeppo is attacking; it's Zeppo's turn.

    EDIT: Though I suppose it's possible only Jedi can automatically perform parry rolls with their sabers, and non-jedi need to prepare it ahead of time?

    I think the implication is Finn did have a turn, and used it to take a dodge or defensive action.

    My guess is that Annie built for ranged combat, and so instead of sucking with a weapon her character is barely proficient in (if at all) she took that rarely used option to sacrifice her attack for a passive defence bonus. Checking GURPS, which I believe it's DMM's standard system, you can do All Out Defense for either a +2 bonus or two different defence rolls. I think the implication is meant to be 'I go defensive for the bonus to parry rolls'.

    memnarch makes a good point about the latest comic. Why is Kylo being played by the DM right now? The DM was talking to Kanata earlier in this session, so that means Sally isn't absent from the session completely, right? Players being absent is usually lampshaded in the comic as well.

    Pete would have been the one to originally say the "inconceivable" line, right? But then, didn't he ragequit the campaign before Wesley would have said "then again, maybe I have?" I thought Pete ragequit after the GM gave a character immunity to iocane powder even though there's no rule for it. Maybe he just heard about that quote from one of the other players? Or maybe it came up earlier in their campaign.

    Re: memnarch's last commentary (and I'm pretty sure this isn't a spoiler, it's something that would be clear if you'd looked at the video footage so far): Kylo Ren's saber looks different from all other ones we've seen, not just because of the crossguards, but also because the blade is not a smooth, steady shaft of light, but rather it crackles a little bit, as if it was made of fire or lighting (well, just a little bit, it's mostly an ordinary lightsaber).

    They never explain it, but I assumed that he was still in the TIE fighter when it sunk and escaped later.

    Remembering the villain's death in a four man play. Everyone was on stage. The heroes were cornered and weaponless. Suddenly, an uncredited hand appeared from behind a curtain holding a gun. The shot rang out. As the villain slowly died, he gasped out, "I thought . . . this was . . . a four man . . . play."

    latest commentary (2069): memnarch, please tell me you haven't been reading the spoilers on this page of posts! I mean, seriously! If you ever come back after the thread and reread, the side-by-side comparison with today's commentary is uncanny...

    You know it's meta when I have to put in a spoiler tag, not because this post was referring to anything about the original movie, but because it would give away the spoilers already written in this thread!

    But back to the actual comic strip, for all that the Irregulars are working in worldbuilding details to make the inevitable events in the movie make actual sense, they're not making the plot that predictable are they?
