At first glance I would say that any ex-Marine PC in the party would know just how dangerous fighting a trained, well-equipped squad would be. But then I realise we're talking about players. :shock: They do tend to do some truly crazy things without thinking about the consequences... I GM'd...

Yes, it was. :D Well spotted; it was used by pirates as a rendezvous point on occasion. Only on occasion, because people who waited around on Carcosa for their contact had an ugly habit of disappearing without trace.

There is a lot of truth to what you say... yet after watching South Park too often, I find myself looking on Captain Scarlet as 'Kenny' but with a security pass. They even both wear red outfits. :roll: I can only imagine what Health & Safety would have to say to Colonel White about his...

It might also help their case if they can capture one or two pirates alive to stand trial... and if the pirates have a proven track record of extreme brutality and bloodshed. Accepting a target vessel's surrender, then blowing the pressure hull open to get rid of witnesses, that sort of thing...

Reminds me very much of a terrifying location described in one of the old GURPS Space sourcebooks by Steve Jackson Games... a dead rockball floating inside a nebular cloud. No air, no water, nothing at all... except for the cities. :shock: Vast cities of fused and scorched rock with empty...

A large part of the clones' sudden improvement lay in their opponents. They were blasting disposable droid forces - walking lumps of scrap with guns. The Separatists' army could be shot, blown up, or hacked apart with lightsabers and there would be no bloodshed. 'Kill' a bunch of droids and...

The Vilani couldn't even digest the native fauna and flora of their "home" world without a lot of preparation... I suppose that when the Interstellar Wars kicked off, the plucky Terrans brought all kinds of biologic problems with them. Illnesses and bacteria that the Vilani simply couldn't handle.

Yeah, Movie-Hero-Syndrome is something they don't cover in training. Likewise the dreaded Plot Device. :roll:

White armour in a temperate-climate forest. :shock: I'm not so surprised that the cute little ewoks could kill them so easily. Given the stormtroopers' camouflage level the ewoks would have had a hard time missing them. And let's not get onto the 200 mph-plus speeder bikes flying around at...

He really needed to be shot. :evil:

These kind of outposts would finally justify the use of the Jump-6 courier ships that first appeared in the LBB supplement Fighting Ships...

Comes complete with dithering, sweating junior officer (with little or no experience) screaming in your helmet comms when things go all to hell! :roll:

They'd have to change the Office Assistant to something 'Politically Correct', after Vargr users complain about the little cartoon dog... maybe a small, idiotic-looking human with cute eyes? :twisted:

Hmm. Sounds like a passable description of me when I was a GM back in the '80s... :oops:

Welcome aboard! :)
