Space Cowgirl

i?ve never played a pencil and paper roleplaying game (RPG)?just ones for Xbox. in 4th or 5th grade, Dungeons & Dragons (D&D) became popular among my guy friends and i wanted to play, too. unfortunately, it involved too much math, in my opinion, so that was the end of RPGs for me.

that was like, 28 years ago. since then, Wizards of the Coast, the same company that produces D&D, developed the Star Wars Roleplaying Game. i never made efforts to look for people who play this, and i?m still intimidated by the math (what can i say? i can?t add as quickly in my head as most people and i have to count on my fingers). however, Brian recently came across someone looking to start a Star Wars RPG group, so we signed up. i don?t think Brian?s as interested as i am, but he says he?ll give it a shot.

anyway, this book explains the rules and how to create your character and stuff. we missed the first meeting, which was this past Saturday because Brian?s folks were visiting, but the guy said that they?d mainly just be creating their characters. well, i am VERY excited about this.

i?ve already decided that my character, a purple-skinned Twi?lek named Zyluur Sorena, is going to be some type of space cowgirl. her ex-boyfriend was a total spice addict who owed his dealer credits. he didn?t have the money, so he sold Zyluur into slavery to a slimy Hutt. this was a few years back. anyway, she managed to escape from the slimy Hutt?s palace, but by the time she made it back to her homeworld, the slimy Hutt had his henchmen kill her entire family. now she?um?well, i don?t know yet.

in other space news?check it out?my blog has once again been transmitted into space (click here for details). however, i have yet to receive comments from anyone living ?in a galaxy far, far away.? oh, well. heehee.
