Episode 2567: Oh, What a Tangled Web

<<FIRST     <PREVIOUS    

If you want some sort of game challenge that really resonates with players, base it around something that's difficult in the real world. Nobody knows how hard it is to fight off a horde of goblins while clinging one-handed to the edge of a cliff. Everyone knows how hard it is to get your name off some random website's "newsletter" advertising list that you never signed up for. Imagine roleplaying scenarios based on the following:

Commentary by memnarch (who has not seen the movie)

I'm sure using those names and addresses won't have caused any problems at all. No way will the First Order having all that information be a problem. Nope, not a single problem.

Nice to see that Rose managed to get brought on board as well as the random Resistance member next to Kaydel. I'm definitely sure that there's not a hundred plus people on the Falcon now. Which is a shame really; having it be crowded would show that there's been a successful rescue of a lot of the people that made it to the planet rather than only a few extras besides the main characters.

Transcript

Finn: I search through storage bins for a blanket.
GM: You find a set of old-looking leather-bound tomes.
GM: Next to them is a blanket.
Finn: What are these books?
Rey: That’s the set of names and addresses I recovered from Ahch-To. The Jedi List
Kaydel Ko Connix: {in background, to another Resistance member, who looks thoroughly tired of this conversation and is desperately seeking an excuse to walk away} You know, if things had gone differently, I could be ruling the Galaxy with Leia, as pseudo-mother and pseudo-daughter.
Finn: Oh, yeah. BB-8 used those to overload the First Order’s network with deliveries.
Finn: I cover Rose to keep her warm while she’s unconscious. The Resistance owes her so much.
Rey: Hey, I had to face Kylo Ren. And Snoke.
BB-8: I had to face their entire website checkout process—
Rey: Meh.
BB-8: —and then unsubscribe afterwards.
Rey: You win.
