Description A commission I did for my pal Reuben of all the... *ahem* unconventinal... characters he came up with for the tabletop SW RPG we play.

Some of these actually made it into the game (the Zabrak Sniper Team up top are still major parts of the story - those that survived, anyway, and the Sephiroth-sworded gal and the Kushiban/bunny-sniper as well; the little lizard guy was one of his characters’ pets) and some never made it past the ‘how the heck did you come up with that and why would I let you use it in-game?!” stage (Yodell and his hutt at the bottom, and were detailed more on our blog a while ago: [link] and that's a Jawa in home-made Killa’ Kan power-armor). But all were fun to talk about and goof around with, at the very least.

The Characters - those that actually made it into the game are in CAPS:

Top Row (L-R): TOMBU, GARY, ROMBU, PERRY, ZOMBU, LULU-- Rombu, Zombu, and Lulu are the only NPC’s Reuben came up with that are actually still with us in the game…

Middle Row (L-R): QUI DETH, KAISER, FUZZUMS

Bottom Row (L-R): ‘the Hutt’ in child’s Yoda mask disguise, Yodell, Jawa in a Killa’ Kan-- note the Killa Kan wears a nudie-girl mudflap for a loincloth. Reuben was particularly pleased with that one. The flame-thrower-as-cigar thing was my idea!

You guys win Most Unusual Hero Team ever.   No SWRPG campaign I was ever in could even compare.

Oh no, man - this was all ONE GUY'S characters! Many of which I never let him use in the game, but I did this piece for him anyway to remember what was, what could have been, and what never would have happened.

Geez, these guys make my semi fanatical Duros trader character rather dull by comparison.

I dunno...any time you can say 'semi-fanatical' it's probably going to be pretty far from dull.

Illustrations are what make me miss gaming the most.

I can't even bloody tell you how many times I've thought about getting some cats together and running another game.

I couldn't ever get into the meticulousness of most existing d20 games, though. And I couldn't sit down and commit to making a game either, because I'd feel like my priorities aren't in the right place.

Or is it "weren't"? What is the proper grammatical setup for describing a future past tense reflection? Fuck.

Either way, great work, very solid line art as per usual, and nice job differing the physical characteristics of your people.

The thing about running a game is that it's something to occupy your mind while you're working on other things. I stay really busy with my work and other things, but in the back of my head I'm still running ideas for Sunday's game. Then again, I'm also a lot more improvisational than some, and it helps that we play Star Wars, which is a setting that's defined enough that I don't have to populate and craft an entire original universe.

Whatever the case, it can be hard to find gaming groups after you get out of college. We're losing two of our players this summer (moving away for their job or their fiance's job), and we know NOBODY who games in the area who can fill the spots.

And if you're dissapointed with d20, allow me to promote two products that are revolutionary for the more flexible, free-wheeling, abstract GM's like myself: Mutants & Masterminds by Green Ronin (best Supers game ever, and can be made to fit most other genres with little effort) and the new Saga Edition Star Wars from WotC (turns D&d20 on its head in every way I've wanted to see!). Both great fun, both less meticulous.

AdamWithers In reply to jadeshadow1989 [2007-05-29 15:32:26 +0000 UTC]

Only Jedi get Lightsabers. And it isn't a regular sword - it's a crazy-long Vibro-sword. The blade carries high-frequency vibrations down it's edge so as to cause extra internal damage on anybody it cuts. Ouch!

Liked it quite a bit, actually. Contrary to a lot of people I've heard complaining about it, I actually thought it did what it did pretty well. Everybody's a critic, I guess...

Yeah, getting variation in their looks, their horns, and their tatoos was tricky, but a fun challenge.

The Jawa rules. I’m sorry but he is my favourite as well as Yodell with his Hutt

Yeah, we had some pretty long, hard laughs talking about those two. Reuben's a great guy if you want oddball hilarity.

Nah - he's in California right now. He's a friend and student of ours that had slept on our couch for a while. Good guy; surly, but loveable. And, as you can see, quite...interesting ideas about character design.
