DAY 24 - TRANSLATE - SHARE - ANCIENT - SOLVE
TRANSLATE - I once made a droid character that was an IG series assassin droid that some joker had reprogrammed to be a protocol droid - complete with the inability to harm living beings… came as a bit of a shock to the new owner (Amanda’s Smuggler character), when the droid she’d bought as “extra muscle” wouldn’t shoot some bad guys that ambushed her.
Oh… and the droid could TRANSLATE over 6 million forms of communication… but not Wookie… same joker programmed the droid to THINK it understood wookie, but programmed it all wrong. Keiran was playing a Wookie co-pilot… that the Smuggle character didn’t understand. So when the wookie wanted to say something, Keiran would roar and moan and grunt like a wookie and the droid would dutifully “translate” it as gibberish or something ridiculous that had nothing to do with the situation. That, or the droid would just make a comment on the Wookie’s statement “I hardly think this is a time to be concerned about what’s for lunch!” or “How am I supposed to know where the toilet is in this place and if it’s of an appropriate size for your bowel movements”…
It was probably my favourite RPG that the family played together - despite the fact that I just don't care about Star Wars anymore (which is weird considering how HUGE a part of my youth it was...).
