#ADnD day today. Will my players make progress through B1: In Search of the Unknown? Or will a random encounter kill them off again? (Troglodytes are no joke!)

I was on the upper floor of a small used bookstore today when I heard someone shout "SHE'S MY MOTHER'S SISTER'S GIRL." Me the other three people in the place laughed because the odds of bookworms also being fans of Twin Peaks are pretty high

I'm excited for the D6 2e kickstarter from Gallank Knight Games, so this character comes from the 1e set

Star Wars D6 2e Revised and Expanded
This is the version most people like. I admit, I don't mind it at all! I still prefer the other character sheets, though.
Here's Rugro, Gamorrean Bounty Hunter.

So much of this game influenced all the Star Wars things today
I'm happy that they still keep the "Expanded Universe" alive through "Legends" because it's more canon to me than whatever Disney has done

Tales from the Floating Vagabond
One of the best times you can spend playing rpgs drunk
I haven't yet picked up the second edition, but I plan on it. The creator passed away just as it was finished and didn't get to see 2e in print
Here's my OC Jett Engine!

Everway
This is one of the first things WotC published, and it never reallly took off. Diceless, using cards instead, but with no real randomized results. I thought it was weird they didn't put numbers on the cards
SAGA kinda fixed it
Anyway, this is Wolfheart
