RE: Nerd By Northwest #287 – “The Word That Shall Not Be Uttered”

I was running a Star Wars campaign using the West End Games d6 System back in the day. One time, a regular old Imperial accountant managed to fend off about 3 rounds of the party's attacks just by rolling non-stop critical successes on his Wild die to resist damage. Even the Wookiee pounding on him. The brash pilot even said, "screw it!" called upon the Force to increase his skill, switched his blaster from stun to kill and failed to drop him after a few shots (earned himself a dark side point for that little stunt). And this was waaay before the Ben Afleck movie, The Accountant. Any time the PCs are about to gank a nameless NPC we can say, "careful, he may be a Star Wars accountant."

Ooh, shout-out for the old West End Games version of Star Wars! Lot of fond memories of that one. Of course, our GM ran a somewhat goofy game... our group's first broken-down spaceship he described as looking uncannily like a VW microbus with engines and wings. Kind of an homage to 'Spaceballs'... 😁
