Darths & Droids

I wouldn't blame the GM for going home in frustration and letting the players run the game, and they probably could since they're on both sides of the conflict.

So a weird things I just discovered that connects in with Irregular Webcomics that DMM does alongside Darths and Droids.

Lego UK are currently doing a free Jane Goodall Tribute set with any online order over £120. Seeing it made me think of Irregular Webcomics, which I don’t think we actually have a thread for.

Episode 2128: So Anyway, I Started Planning

Ah, Jim. Never change.

Episode 2129: Frost / Nix On

While memnarch has a point that the explosives they're using shouldn't be shock-sensitive, I got a huge chuckle out of the punch line anyway, so bravo to the GM for going along with it.

Even if there's a 0% chance... Roll anyway, just so that the players don't know.

...Is it wrong the comic made me think "Wait, should Chewbacca be feeling cold there, even with all that fur"?

Episode 2130: Battle of Waits

Okay, okay, you got me guys. This bit made me laugh way more than it objectively deserved.

A "dread"ful reference.

Please remind me who plays Hux. Is it Ben? He is the one who likes to overanalyze situations.

Yeah, Ben plays Hux.

Regards Chewbacca's fur, I could only come up with idea his fur's designed to soak up the water vapour in the air, so when it evaporates it helps to cool down the skin. You know, since he lives on a jungle planet which presumably has high levels of humidity. Daft, I know.

Note: orangutans, which live in tropical rainforests, have similarly thick-looking fur.

Episode 2131: Conversation of Momentum

Recent in-comic discussions are making me think about how collaborative the creation of Chewbacca was in Darths & Droids. Sally designed the planet Kashyyyk and named its inhabitants Wookiees, but Jim is the one who declared Wookiees to be "half-ape, half-dog, half-yeti hybrids", to which Pete added that they are "one and a half times the size you'd expect". Sally is the one who decided that they use laser crossbows, because "laser longbows would be just silly". Sally named Chewbacca (after her dog, I don't have a link because I don't even remember what episode this was mentioned in) but Jim was the one who decided to bring him back as Greedo's sidekick and then Ben started playing him because he was the only character available for Ben to play after Obi Wan's death.

See, I appreciate it when someone other than me points out how Star Wars fans will invent crazy explanations for the technology we see on screen in an effort to justify it. In particular, I appreciate it because it means said fans will dog pile that person instead.

Episode 2132: Parka Bothers

Episode 2133: It’s Just a Phasma He’s Going Through

In what must be one of the most convenient bits of luck in all nine films...

Episode 2134: Metaphors Be With You

And yes, it has same name as previous episode, though I suspect they'll change it later. Changed the name.

Yep, it’s now “Metaphors Be With You”

"Finn is definitely a bad actor here, in both senses." Indeed.

Also, I agree that if they wait for Phasma to tell them how to get places, the Peace Moon will have blown up about a dozen more worlds.

Regarding The Rant, isn't that the principal principle of Paranoia?

Of course!
