Complications

After a terrific dinner Friday night, the suggestion of a Knights of the Old Republic game came up.  Holy cow, could I go for this.  See, in spite of all of the SW games I've run, I've never been a player in one.  And my reading of the KotOR campaign guide has really got me interested in that era.  So, with any luck, in a couple of nights, we'll bat around some more serious discussion.

Last night was the monthly Meetup.  Two GMs had to cancel out, unfortunately, but my Spycraft game went off pretty well.  One new player, even.  And, I expect I'll do another SC game at the next Meetup, too.

Catching Quantum of Solace this afternoon.  Hopefully the timing will work out such that we can avoid the legions of squealing Twilight fans.

Robot Chicken Star Wars 2 is really funny - better than the predecessor, I think.

For once, delayed movie releases work in our favour here in NZ. I can go and see QoS this coming weekend free from Twilight craziness because it isn't out here until next month.

The sparkly tween vampires will come for you in time.

The Niece wants to see Twilight. After she does, we're going to sit down for The Lost Boys and Near Dark and set things right.

Don't forget the hair. The impossibly moused, perfectly tousled hair. That's the real source of their power: Hair products!

Oh, such hair.

DO IT! SAGA RULES!

I don't know much about the KOTOR era, but the supplement was cool.

I like Saga, but I think our prospective GM is planning on using D6 - which I'm really quite cool with, too.

I knew next to nothing about the KotOR era before buying the campaign guide, but I think I got a decent handle on it after reading the guide.

I'll happily play under either set of rules. I just want some Star Wars.

We are indeed going for a D6 game. It's going to be set in the time between the Great Sith War and the Mandalorian War; we're a small team of Republic diplomats and explorers surveying the area that the Republic contracted from to see what's still out there.

This should be good.

Star Trek via Star Wars? I'm surprised you don't see that more often.

I've tried a New Republic scout service game once or twice, but it never quite got off the ground.

I like the idea, and I think it's perfectly viable. After all, it's a great big galaxy out there, and that has to mean places that nobody's sen just yet.
