Perfectly reasonable. Puns are important.

IIRC, Sally was 15 around the time of the start of IV (some mention of highschool?). Corey is Pete's 'younger friend'. Could be 15-17.

Corey is a year older than Sally. I don't remember where, if anywhere, they mentioned either of their exact ages.

That's a Survival skill for every non-ship or -city environment Luke encounters.

Theirs is a kind GM, who makes sure to give his players opportunities to use their skills.

Guys, who do you think the traitor mentioned in the early strips of this adventure is?

I don't believe they're talking about the game but things that actually happened in their lives and no the in between game was mentioned once but i forget anything about it.

@Morwen: So far as I recall, there is no clear indication that there actually is one, as opposed to something player paranoia invented.

[up] Maybe not, but Luke does say it can hardly be a coincidence that the Empire managed to find Leia's group so easily.

My theory remains that Annie invented the traitor from noting in order to screw with the other players on an OOC level. However, the GM may make one of his NPC's into the traitor, just to screw with Annie.

I can easily see my favored GM doing that. But then he is stupid crafty like that.

Anyone who assigns themselves loads of character tropes is someone to be worried about.

So... Yoda came about because Sally tried to make a miniature for Ben's character and got the ears wrong. Somehow I like this explanation.

[up] they have those set in K-mart by me, you have no idea how badly I wanted to buy several and do just that.

unfortunately, those massive lego sets cost over a hundred dollars, and I dont have the money for that.

The first mention was here.

The game was Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. That's my guess, at least.
