To be fair he really should have used the laser sword.

Corey is terrified of the laser sword. He thinks Luke is going to dismember himself with it if he dares use it.

A four with the laser sword might have injured Dak. There's no fighting lousy rolls.

Once Luke trains as a Jedi, he might get that Force ability that lets him reroll a failure. That's pretty useful when you're swinging laser swords around.

Once Luke trains as a Jedi, his balls might drop.

He is playing very cautiously, isn't he? Like he's realized that in a tabletop game, he's in Hardcore mode and there's no Save Scumming.

[up][up][up]Could be. IIRC in Star Wars D6, there's a force ability more-or-less dedicated to wielding a lightsaber better.

That "Wow. You don't say." had me thinking the very same thing.

Although I'm pretty sure Annie's normally a better actor than that, so she'd be acting as someone acting badly.

I dunno if her playing what is essentially the same role in the plot twice in a row is her kind of thing. I can definitely figure her for a Red Herring, though. I figured the "Wow. You don't say." was sarcasm, along the lines of "oh wow, you finally realized that? Get with the program."

Yeah, I'm only getting sarcasm vibes from that too.

Yeah, I translated that as "Thank you Captain Obvious" besides, hadn't she pitched this line of reasoning to him a while ago only to have it rejected?

Corey's either really pissed, or he's surpassed Annie at roleplaying.

Well it sure worked better for him than the Black Knight.

Nah, not experience: he is still playing himself. He himself got attached to the NPC.

Ladies and gentlemen, prepare for the fanfic crossover between Darths & Droids and One Piece: Grand Line 3.5. Coming soon to an internet in a galaxy not so far away. cool

So is Corey particularly susceptible to getting attached to characters, or is the GM particularly good at making NP Cs the players can latch onto? I'm thinking the former, since I think only Sally has ever really cared too much about any of the NPC characters the players have run into.

Either way, this was a cool page.

The DM did a pretty run off-the-mill "NPC to try get players attached".
His default players, Jim and Ben, are experienced murderhobos, they don't get caught in it.
Annie is an actor, she would have acted out the camaraderie, but do not get attached herself.

Sally and Corey are newbies. Sally was totally new and she reacted vividly to everything. Corey meanwhile is more of a videogamer, where "friendly NPC" tactic is used sparingly, so he is susceptible to it.

Give in to the dark side! Harness your rage! Strike them down with all of your hatred! Mwa ha ha!
