Many moons ago I knew how to paint miniatures. I am attempting to remember how.

These are not finished but they are in a condition to show off a little, pardon my terrible lighting.

It was one of our players' birthday today, so I made cookies.

Which meant I spent a chunk of the afternoon chortling to myself because "Come to Dark Side. We have cookies."

Last session, we framed the Sith for killing murderball.

Dramatis Personae remain:

* Aurun, hotshot ship captain, ex-assassin, full of complicated feels about field training as a Jedi (link is to my monthly column on Patheos, from March)
* Aaron Selig, demagogue ship's engineer, mad gadgeteer, pessimist
* Tereez, half-Bothan senior Imperial Knight, ex-Sith infiltration specialist
* Valis, junior Imperial Knight, healing and body mod specialist
* Tsavor, also called Hissy, Barabel ex-gladiator

NPC:

* Elon, increasingly traumatised Chiss Jedi healer with a complicated past

( Some background material.... )

( The actual session.... )

When we left our heroes we had just taken our opportunity to retreat from a kettle of Sith who were having a chain of command discussion with Darth Postcard Impending With New Name.

Dramatis Personae reminder:

* Aurun'ijaro, called Aurun, hotshot tramp freighter captain, ex-assassin, recently revealed Force sensitive
* Aaron Selig, demagogue ship's engineer, mad gadgeteer
* Tereez, senior Imperial Knight, ex-Sith infiltration specialist
* Valis, junior Imperial Knight, healing and body mod specialist
* Tsavor, called Hissy, Barabel ex-gladiator hunter-seeker Jedi

NPC:
* Elon, Jedi healer, did not take Sith threat seriously until a friend died, still a softy

( And so onwards into the future. )

And that is how we framed the Sith for rigging a sportsball game and destroying the league.

Current Mood: amused

We're improving in our "what we lost this session" responses; we only lost a Star Destroyer! (And really there was nothing we could do about that, and our decisions had no part in it happening, so it's not a huge loss conceptually.)

When we left our heroes, we had been ambushed by a dreadnought and rather a lot of fighters, one of whom cheerfully greeted one of the party members with a "Hello there Tereez!"

( As you might expect, things went a bit downhill from there. )

Current Mood: sleepy

I may as well keep track of storysessions, yeah?

Not a covered in glory sort of session this one; we lost an NPC and a planet.

(There was nothing we could do about the planet.)

( So when we left off.... )

Current Mood: sick

I am in a Star Wars universe game. I wrote this up because we played down a player this weekend and it would be good to let him know what happened, and I realised after the fact that it would also be good to have a thorough record of what we did when we pick up again after the midwinter holidays, so.

And then I thought that it would be amusing to post it here, since my previous game session summaries have been considered droll.

be enjoying our Star Wars game rather a lot after only one session.

Or at least I have a Twi'lek in my head going "WHEEEE" at dealing with flying through a fighter attack and incidental fire from a battleship while psychically linked with a team of Jedi?

(Advantage to character-building in a thoroughly worldbuilt world - I can do enough research and build in enough personality hooks that it only took me about half a session to get a grip on her psychology rather than a couple of them. Which meant I knew going into this that I was dealing with a personality type I'd call "smart Gryffindor", and getting a handle on her "I'm not an adrenaline junkie, but since I've got the adrenaline going I might as well WHEEEEEEEE" was good.)

"This is not the sort of profitable run that I would ordinarily take but I must admit that it is quite enjoyable to be working with these people."

It is good that we are in the shadow of the large object now, though, because I'm not so sure about that battleship (even if her reaction is "I GOT THIS")....
