If you were to ask whiny teenage Luke Skywalker, he would tell you that Tantooine was the most boring place in the galaxy. This is a planet where you keep a blaster rifle in your speeder because homicidal bantha-riders might try to brain you with a pointy metal stick, where mysterious midgets steal droids and drive around in megatanks, where giant slugs are galactic crimelords, where weirdo space wizards live just down the road, where a dude at a bar can be shot in the fucking face but everyone just turns back to their drink.
For my new campaign, I want Luke to be right.

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 ...
It's akin to the wild west. Sure there's a lot of danger and action..if you're a gunfighter, outlaw, sherrif, etc.
ReplyDeleteIf you're a farmhand it IS pretty boring.
The movie's about Luke's transition from farmhand to gunslinger more or less.
Why wouldn't Luke be right? that IS Tattooine!
ReplyDeleteI want him to be right that Tantooine, with all its bizarre dangers, really is boring compared to the rest of the galaxy.
ReplyDeleteOh, I get it.
