[QUOTE="talien, post: 3811154, member: 3285"] Hi Fimmtiu, Thank you for your kind words! It's true, Kham does have all the best lines. This is a combination of the person playing his character (Jeremy Ortiz, who can be quite witty when he wants to be) and my conscious decision to make Kham the "everyman." I am convinced that what went wrong with the later versions of Star Wars was the lack of Han Solo. Han Solo wasn't just an outsider to the established hierarchy of the Star Wars universe, he was a skeptical outsider who talked like us. In other words, he was the person you could relate to most because he was most similar to the audience. He wasn't a wide-eyed farm boy learning to use magical powers or a headstrong princess or a giant furry alien. In this story hour, Vlad is our Luke Skywalker. He's the newbie, but it's hard to see things through his eyes if you're an experienced player. Matt (Vlad's player) was new to 3rd edition, so everything was new to him. Kham, on the other hand, is our Han Solo -- experienced, jaded, and a wiseass with all the good lines. And of course Ilmare is the Princess Leia type, full of sarcasm and telling everyone what to do. I could keep making the parallels (Dril = Lando, Cal = Chewbacca, Quintus = a more aggressive version of C3P0, etc.), but these character tropes existed long before I came along. :) I have a soft spot for Cthulhu monsters. I don't know why. We played every King in Yellow adventure I could get my hands on. In fact, we're kind of King in Yellow-ed out. But it made for a great series of villains. This is just the INTRODUCTION of the King in Yellow. There will be repercussions throughout the story hour. In fact, the events you just read about will be a very important part of the conclusion of the story hour. Stay tuned! [/QUOTE]
