Welcome to the new home of Shooting Womp Rats! We’re very humbled to have Andrew Zavadin from the D6 Holocron offer us a new host, and we hope to make the best of it. You’ll have to excuse the mess, as I’m trying to clean it all up for you. Expect changes in the coming weeks, and the archive of previous episodes will be placed in a single entry coming soon.
Episode 26 brings us more Don-created content, discussion on the Command skill and more movie-to-adventure ideas, one submitted by Stephen Ligon, from Facebook:
Let’s look at an adventure I came up with based upon a classic movie, see if you can guess it.
An old Jedi Master, named Ard, and two Jedi Knights, named Reid and Bluu, travel to a colony world, designated 9391-0-Z to investigate potential Sith activity. They reach the planet and are never heard from again.
A young Jedi, Rathi, and her pilot and companion, Tuton, a dog like creature, are sent to investigate.
Their starship is brought down by a mysterious storm in the upper atmosphere of the planet and it crashes.
Upon pulling themselves out of the wreckage, Rathi and Tuton have to fight a Sith Warrior called Easta.
After the fight the heroes meet up with a group of colonists, a group of dwarf like people, who hail them as saviors and help them.
Among the effects of the Sith is a Jedi communicator. Rathi uses it and gets in contact with one of the Jedi, Reid, who is being held in a Sith Fortress, by the another Sith alcolyte, Westrin.
Reid tells her that the Ard and Bluu attacked a Sith Master here on the planet, and defeated him, but both were injured and retreated to the City in the Green, a heavily guarded forest city. The Sith Master’s acolytes have been continuing his plans.
Reid transmits coordinates to Rathi and asks her to rescue her.
Rathi and Tuton proceed to the coordinates and along the way they run into a broken down old battle droid being used for cleaning the forest, a injured and mildly brain damaged farmer who is trying to scare off small creatures from his crops, and giant cat like creature with a neural inhibitor on his head preventing him from hurting anyone.
Rathi and her new allies must fight groups of Sith enhanced minions, a small force of ape like creatures with rocket packs and advanced weaponry, among other obstacles.
After freeing Reid and defeating Westrin, the heroes go to the City of the Green and meet up with Ard and Bluu. Ard is so old and battle scarred he can barely move anymore, and Bluu has been in a healing trance waiting for help to arrive.
Jedi Reid suggests to use of a Sith spaceship, she heard about while captive, to leave the planet and contact the Republic.
Now in case you haven’t figured this out, the movie I adapted was “the Wizard of Oz”.
