Darths & Droids/Fridge: Difference between revisions

** Also, Obi-Wan is played by Ben, and Anakin by Annie.

* Thinking about both this and ''[[DM of the Rings]]'', it's clear that while the latter is the result of a railroading GM trying to assume total control of the campaign, ''[[Darths and Droids]]'' is the result of a GM who just rolls with all the craziness that comes up and makes it work within his plans. If you think about it, this is perfectly in line with the settings' canonical villains. Sauron has his plan that depends on the enemy doing what he thinks they should--use the ring against him; it's thwarted when events transpire as he didn't expect, i.e., when it goes off the rails. Palpatine, however, is a master of [[Xanatos Speed Chess]], and like that comic's GM, he just takes whatever happens in stride and makes it work for him instead of trying to stick to one plan. - [[User:Mr Death]]

* Jim is currently on his third doomed character (Raymus Antilles), this one with the shortest shelf-life so far. At this pace, he's probably going to be playing Owen and Biggs in this campaign, and start as Dack in the next one.

** Worse: Padme apparently started a trend of his character dying in every session he participated in. Raymus Antilles was his ''sixth'' doomed character (four times in four sessions+Padme+Qui-Gon).

* While the movie series is an obvious choice for an epic game, it's actually better suited than many people could realise. The four movies written by Lucas have a lot of battles or fight scenes that could easily be random encounters since they could easily be cut out without losing anything in the plot, like Han and Luke shooting down the Tie Fighters that come after them when they escape the Death Star. The Star Wars movies are probably the best setting for a DM of the Rings inspired webcomic.
