After a veeeeerrrryyyy long, and mostly unplanned, hiatus, Stuart and I got
together to play more Stargrave in recent days. It was good! It was also a
bit ...

Cool. Certainly got the attention of my baby boy, he was enthralled by the rolling text and was bouncing along to the music. Made me want to put on my silver space jumper (with flare legs) with my blaster strapped to my side and head out and see what space trash has turned up at the cantina today.
ReplyDeleteSo you're bring back disco...
ReplyDeleteWhere is my leisure suit?
Nice!
ReplyDeleteIn this version, Princess Leia always wears a bikini. And Yoda is a Gobling.
ReplyDeleteI imagine the result won't be too far from this or this.
ReplyDeleteBut definitely more like this.
ReplyDeleteSee, every time I think of Jeff playing Star Wars, I inevitably think of this.
ReplyDeleteA painfully verbose retread of the most iconic sci-fantasy plot of all time told in the form of a shaggy dog story?
ReplyDeleteAh, poo. It got cut off at the end!
ReplyDeleteThe music ... it hurts us.
ReplyDeleteI have to admit, when I imagine a space opera setting, they tend to come in two modes. The first is the grungy, dark, post-space-apocalypse pseudo-medieval feel captured by Warhammer 40k and Fading Suns and Dune.
ReplyDeleteThe second is the '70s turned up to 11. ;D
Odd, I can't view it. It says it's a private video and I need to be sure I've accepted a friend request. :(
ReplyDeleteI've even tried it on YouTube.
I can't view the vid either. Says it is private for me also.
ReplyDeleteI can't see the video, but from the context of the comments I think you should strongly consider a grim, blue-skinned, moustachioed badass known only as "The Commander" to your list of NPCs...
ReplyDeleteSorry. I went in to fix something and broke something else. Should be operational now.
ReplyDeleteMeco Star Wars!
ReplyDeleteMan, I grew up on that stuff.
OK, thing one -- what software did that, and does it run on Windows? (Oh, wait, I've got a mac, too, with Ubuntu installed on it, so I'm good for anything, I guess...)
ReplyDeleteSecond, way cool.
Third, Trollsmyth--- the best space opera combines both. :)
LOL. That's hilarious. Makes me wish I was in your neck of the woods so I could join in!
ReplyDeleteWait. Is it just me or is this secretly the saga of George W Bush versus the middle east?
ReplyDeleteFang
"HONK IF YOU LIKE BUSH" -- wrong on so many levels.
"throve"?
ReplyDeleteFang: It's just you.
ReplyDeleteLucas has said his earliest work on SW was inspired by Vietnam and American politics of the late 1960s/early 1970s. Nothing ever changes.
ReplyDelete@ Zak
ReplyDeleteI was wondering about that myself.
Throve is to thrive as dove is to dive. ;) The music definitely reinforces the 70s context. The Sarah Brightman video Erin linked might be a little over the top. :)
