The setting has so little identifiable material that connects to that fan center of my brain that knows what a Lightsaber is, what Dilithium Crystals are for, and the fact that you shouldn't look at the trap when it's activated.Adam Dicksteinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04840144928096089178noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1050721357300630823.post-54180059163286052362015-01-15T19:23:02.614-08:002015-01-15T19:23:02.614-08:00Agree with you both that hiding the rules in the e...Agree with you both that hiding the rules in the episodes was just terrible. Distances didn't bother me because JW specifically stated that Serenity moved at the "speed of plot." Much like you I find huge equipment lists irritating anymore. I don't mind a few pages if most of the items are unique but endless pages of almost-but-not-quite-identical weapons (or worse, many pages of weapons when everyone just picks that one gun that is statistically best) are tiresome. Personally I would still like to see where that campaign would go, perhaps next time we could go with your smugglers and starfleet idea?Evanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10578716649371880470noreply@blogger.com
