  1. My next SW character is definitely going to be a space hillbilly named Tiberius Moonshine.

    Thanks, Jeff!

    You forgot putting "Paul" under Walrusman.

    Ciao!

  3. You've somehow tapped into my childhood, Mr. Rients.

    When I was a kid, Han Solo and Chewie flew around in the Millenium Falcon with a crew composed of Walrus Man, Snaggletooth, Hammerhead, and Greedo (apparently he and Han had reconciled over the whole who shot first thing) and fought against Darth Vader and his *one* stormtrooper, and maybe Baron Karza...

    It was the only time I really played with the action figures as who they were on the box.

    Who knew I was predicting your Encounter Critical campaign so long ago...

  4. Man I cannot wait to play Lalalalala the Wookiee...

  5. If anyone rolls a 9 for their male Greedoian, he just *might* shoot first.

    ReplyDelete
  6. Walrusman Jolli Moonshine it is!

    ReplyDelete
  7. P.S. He's adopted by humans.

  8. V2-P8 reporting. You may call me "VeeToo" if it is easier on your pathetic human minds.

  9. @yoyorobbo I think they make a cream for that.

  11. "Reroll if you get 2,1. That guy is dead."

    What if the player wants their character to be walrus man Inigo Montoya?

    ReplyDelete
  12. Are you suggesting his full name was Inigo Montoya Junior? I don't recall that from the film or the book.

    ReplyDelete
  13. I don't even need to roll to know I want to play a male Greedoian named Bureedo.

  14. @BigFella:

    Reading the Encounter Critical rules reminds me of playing as a kid with mixtures of lego, Star Wars figures and miscellaneous extras.

    Fans of the cantina aliens might find this article pretty cool. It goes into the original names intended before the expanded universe materials came about and renamed them... http://www.starwars.com/movies/episode-iv/20081027.html?page=1

  16. I got inspired by this and created some Star Wars name tables on my tables site: www.apolitical.info/webgame/tables if anyone's interested.

    ReplyDelete
  17. A friend taught me years ago how to create Star Wars names.

    First name: Take the first 3 letters of your first name and add the first 3 letters of your last name.

    Last name: Take the first 3 letters of the city you live in and add the last 3 letters of the street you live on.

    My name under the system is Jossta Ricurt

  18. @the venomous pao: that stuff doesn't work.... or so I've heard. ;^o

  19. Zarcanthropus: Hmm. On the one hand 'Jefnts Urbber' looks kinda sci-fi. On the ohter hand it hardly rolls off the tongue.

    ReplyDelete
  20. Zarcanthropus2:19 AM

    Err... it's supposed to be the first 3 letters of of your last name not he last 3. Jefrie rolls off the tongue better but doesn't sound sci-fi at all. Ya win some ya loose some...
    My group came up with some great first names like Bilgri, Jamdea and Thosil
