I've put up my review of the first episode of The Book of Boba Fett, Chapter 1: Stranger in a Strange Land. It's pretty darn good, but I think I'll be keeping doing the stats until the series is finished (or at least half way through) as not much information is forthcoming yet.

        And we are finished with Star Wars: Episode 2: Attack of the Clones after a month and a half of updates based on it, so today we've added Gondrin Upal (Nikto Refugee), Gorothin Vagger (Aqualish Senator), Rosha Vess (Human Club Goer), Kristoff Vestswe (Human Club Goer), Nor Wedd (Quarren Political Aide), Nic Whoma (Gran Gambler), Daro Wiilits (Human Night Club Patron), & Sne Wo (Human Club Goer) to the Star Wars D/6 Characters Section of the Site.

        Now I'm behind with some of the comics that I cover, so may pop on to cover those, but I'm going to be away from home over the New Year period, so it doesn't seem worth starting anything much, and we've got the first episode of The Book of Boba Fett out this week. All of which means I may pop on with some updates, but mainly won't be back in any kind of routine until when I'm home in 2022.

Merry Post Xmas everyone.

Came back tonight to update the
 Halo D6 Optional Rules v1.2.1. While I was here, I started the
 HALO D6 Campaign Setting Sourcebook (2021) in Supplements D6. As I do Halo Write-ups, I'll put links to them in the Sourcebook too, so they're all in one place. I want to put all the Halo write-ups in it for variants and options, but I'll wait and see if there's any feedback one way or the other before doing so.

Merry Christmas to you All!

        Have a great day to you all, I hope Santa has been good to you.

The Pillar of Autumn. The first level of the first Halo game, Combat Evolved. The moment the opening game cinematic begins back in 2001, I would have sworn the ship, Pillar of Autumn, took inspiration from the Sulaco of the movie Aliens. As the scene progresses, we see the UNSC marines assembling into formation in the Pillar's hangar deck, warthogs and pelican dropships moving about, preparing for war. The marines look similar to the Colonial Marines from Aliens. The pelican is reminiscent of the CM Cheyenne dropship. And the warthog, while not a CM APC, looks like it comes from the same design philosophy and the two wheeled vehicles would be at home driving side by side in an mobile military unit. Driving the point home further, progressing through the game, the Elites look somewhat like Xenomorphs, but more like Predators. Even more so when you face the ones that cloak. And then later when I'd learn the movie Demolition Man was also an inspiration for the game (John Spartan was the main character in the film).

A bit late, but I wanted to start something for Halo's 20th anniversary. Today I've added Frag Grenade (HS1 2021), M6D Pistol (HS1 2021), MA5B Assault Rifle (HS1 2021), Plasma Grenade (HS1 2021), Plasma Pistol (HS1 2021), and Plasma Rifle (HS1 2021) to Weapons D6, Sangheili "Elites" (HS1 2021), Unggoy "Grunts" (HS1 2021), Kig-Yar "Jackals" (HS1 2021), and Halo AI Character PCs/NPCs (HS1 2021) to Races D6, and Halo D6 Optional Rules v1.0 to Supplements D6. My overall intention is to start going through the games, level by level, and convert/stat up what i come across for D6. I'd like to take a crack at writing adventures for each level as well. This batch is not everything I wanted to have finished for Pillar Of Autumn, but I wanted to just get a start. Looking at the older Halo write-ups, I wasn't quite sure which ones were my own or someone else's, and my perspective on writing up stats has changed a bit since the last time I took a crack at it. So....I thought I'd start over for the 20th anniversary. My stats say (HS1 2021) beside them to tell them apart from my older stats, in case there's any major differences.

Halo D6 Optional Rules has information on creating Spartan characters (Spartan I through IV), as well as most generic suits of Mjolnir powered armor, AI characters, MAC Guns, various weapon details, adapting some gameplay from the Halo games to D6 rules....it's not comprehensive, or not as much as I'd like, but if you want to get a quick start on a D6 Halo game, or adapt a Spartan and some gear into Star Wars D6, it should help you out and point you in the right direction.

It also has a rules option with a different take on energy shields to make them function more like they do in the Halo games.

All in all, if anyone has opinions on things to change or add, feel free to add them in the comments. The rules options is v1.0, I intend to improve on and add to it over time.

Merry Christmas everyone.

P.S.- After posting this, I realized i did not mention The Flood in the Halo D6 Rules Options. Well, they're there now!

        And the "T"s, but the chances of me doing any tomorrow are remote as although I'm usually up long before my family, I really don't intend to do anything resembling work tomorrow. But today we've added Lexa Tcheil (Human Jedi Youngling), Pedric Tosh (Human Naboo Security Officer), Ganwick Trag (Human Bartender), Traavis (Human Jedi Knight), & Tyyx (Rodian Podracing Tipster) to the Star Wars D/6 Characters Section of the Site.

        And Attack of the Clones becomes the movie that ruined Christmas, as there's no way I'm going to finish it in time to do anything different for Christmas. So with the "S"s today we've added Whimper Save (Human Night Club Patron), Scohontas (Pacithhip Civilian), Cian Shee (Human Slicer), Nardi Shodu (Rodian Messenger), Roan Shryne (Human Jedi Master), Sidewa (Rodian Civilian), Civ Sila (Human Night Club Patron), & Necil Sing (Human Night Club Patron) to the Star Wars D/6 Characters Section of the Site.
        I should manage to get the "T"s and "U"s done tomorrow, and then be back on Boxing Day to finish off the remainders.

So many low skilled Club Goers, I really wasn't aware of how many background characters there were in the Zam Wessell scenes of the movie.

        No "F"s today, but some "G"s and "H"s, as we've added Hayde Gofai (Human Club Goer), Faime Gosan (Human Club Goer), Honka (Rodian Civilian), & Senator Zo Howler (Anx Politician) to the Star Wars D/6 Characters Section of the Site.

        I'd originally thought that I'd have been through all of the Prequels by New Year, but it's starting to look as if I won't even have covered just Star Wars: Episode 2: Attack of the Clones. As today we're just covering the "D"s and "E"s, and have added Joclad Danva (Human Jedi Knight), Aliza Darsk (Human Club Goer), Bille Doshun (Human Club Goer), & Lumas Etima (Human Jedi Padawan) to the Star Wars D/6 Characters Section of the Site.

        Now usually I take a bit of a break over Christmas, and since I'll be spending a few days away from home, that's definitely going to happen, but I'm not sure if I'll get to review something odd or weird over the Christmas period (in previous years I've done the Christmas Special, Battle for Endor, Caravan of Courage, & the Lego Star Wars Holiday Special, but I'm not sure if I'll get chance to do anything this year (but if I do, it'll probably be the Halloween Special, Lego Star Wars Terrifying Tales). But we'll see how things go over the next couple of weeks.

        And once more to the "C"s dear friends, as we've added Onyeth Canavar (Tarnab Civilian), Jynne Celwik (Human Waitress), Lowle Chred (Human Kidnapper), & Ronet Coorr (Near Human Representive) to the Star Wars D/6 Characters Section of the Site.

        This movie is beginning to feel like it will never end, but here's the "B"s of the Legends characters from Star Wars: Episode 2: Attack of the Clones, and a revamped Jedi Master as well. Today we've added Ix Bantagash (Aqualish Trader/Pilot), Depa Billaba (Chalactan Jedi Master), Kell Borean (Human Nightclub Patron), Lillea Bringbit (Human Nightclub Patron), & Slyther Bushforb (Nuknog Private Detective) to the Star Wars D/6 Characters Section of the Site.

        Given that this is just the "A"s of the legends characters from Star Wars: Episode 2: Attack of the Clones, I think we're going to be stuck with this movie for quite a while longer. Anyway, today we've added Acros-Krik (Ongree Mayor), Adnama (Human Partygoer), Nyrat Agira (Human Partygoer), Aisala (Human Civilian), & Onie Arkmen (Human Partygoer) as we fill in a whole load of background characters, to the Star Wars D/6 Characters Section of the Site.

        So reaching the end of the alphabet with the "Y"s and "Z"s as we finish off the characters from Star Wars: Episode 2: Attack of the Clones, and we cover the weapons from the movie. Today we've added Tan Yuster (Human Jedi Padawan) to the Star Wars D/6 Characters Section, & Theed Arms Security S-5 heavy blaster pistol, & SoroSuub Corporation Mk II Paladin blaster rifle to the Star Wars D/6 Weapons Section of the Site.
        Now, that should be us finished, but I think I've found some characters who are only named and detailed in Legends, which Wookieepedia puts in a different category. I haven't really looked to see how many there are which remain to be covered, so there may only be a couple, or there may be days and days more to go, to finally be done with this movie.

        We're really getting towards the end of our alphabetical journey through the characters of Star Wars: Episode 2: Attack of the Clones, as we reach the "W"s. So today we've added Dar Wac (Rodian Liaison), Watto (Toydarian Junk Shop Owner), Zam Wesell (Clawdite Bounty Hunter), & Rogwa Wodrata (Holwuff Representative) to the Star Wars D/6 Characters Section of the Site. So a few more days and we'll be done with this movie, and onto the next (after a short break).

        I've calmed it down a bit from the amount of updates done the past couple of days, as we reach the "U"s and "V"s as we continue alphabetically through the characters of Star Wars: Episode 2: Attack of the Clones. Today we've added Luminara Unduli (Mirialan Jedi Master), Verse (Human Naboo Queens Handmaiden), & Ayy Vida (Twi-lek Masseuse and Dancer) to the Star Wars D/6 Characters Section of the Site.

        And loads of "T"s as we continue alphabetically through the characters of Star Wars: Episode2: Attack of the Clones, and today we've added Bufon Taire (Human Bartender), Nicanas Tassu (Human Jedi Knight), Shaak Ti (Togruta Jedi Master), Saesee Tiin (Ikotchi Jedi Master), Ela Tips (Human Reactor Repairman), Zil Topur (Quarren Aide), Coleman Trebor (Vurk Jedi Master), Nank Tun (Shi-ido disguised as Aqualish Aide), & Bogg Tyrell (Aleena Representative) to the Star Wars D/6 Characters Section of the Site.

        Wow there's a lot of "S"s as we continue alphabetically through Star Wars: Episode 2: Attack of the Clones, so today we've added Gume Saam (Ishi Tib Senator), Ko Sai (Kaminoan Scientist), Seboca (Dug Holovid Star), Aayla Secura (Twi-lek Jedi Knight), Fi-Ek Sirch (Nikto Jedi Knight), Elan SelSabagno (Elan Sleazebaggano) (Balosar Death Stick Dealer), Supi (Twi-lek Political Aide), & Bultar Swan (Human Jedi Knight) to the Star Wars D/6 Characters Section of the Site.
        Until today I've avoided doing updates or duplicates of the various Jedi in the movie. I covered these in the very early days of the site (pre-2006), and you'll find the stats I did back then are far more stripped down and basic. However today I looked at my older versions of Aayla Secura (who'd I'd only made as a Padawan, where we now know she was a full Jedi Knight), and Bultar Swan (who is a full Jedi, but I barely gave her any skills originally). This seems fair enough, but makes me wonder if I need to return to some of the characters already on the site from this era, which I need to revisit? We shall see how I feel in the coming days.

        And we're onto the "R"s (mainly R series Astromechs) and for some reason ES-PSA which Wookieepedia has on their menu as RIC-920 (which is his model number, not name) as we continue through Star Wars: Episode 2: Attack of the Clones, alphabetically. Anyway, today we've added R2-H7 (Naboo Astromech Droid), R2-L3 (Astromech Droid), R3-T7 (Astromech Droid), R4-P17 (Astromech Droid), Que-Mars Redath-Gom (Weequay Jedi Knight), & ES-PSA (RIC-920 Droid Rickshaw Operator) to the Star Wars D/6 Characters Section of the Site.

        When I started covering the prequels again, I thought I might be finished with them by New Year, I really don't think that's going to happen. Oh well, Book of Boba Fett is only going to be weekly anyway, so there's no rush to be done with everything before it starts.

        They say mind your "P"s and "Q"s, and that's what we've done today as we continue alphabetically through Star Wars: Episode 2: Attack of the Clones, and from those letters we've added Pablo-Jill (Ongree Jedi Knight), Ister Paddie (Human Senator), Poggle the Lesser (Geonosian Archduke), & Khaat Qiyn (Human Jedi Knight) to the Star Wars D/6 Characters Section of the Site.

        And we reach the "M"s and "N"s as we move through the characters of Star Wars: Episode 2: Attack of the Clones, although all of the "N"s are members of Padme Amidala's family, the Naberries. Anyway, today we've added Magaloof (Leffingite Criminal/Driver), Shu Mai (Gossam Commerce Guild Presidente), Achk Med-Beq (Human Confidence Trickster), Cat Miin (Gossam Political Aide), Jobal Naberrie (nee Thule) (Human Naboo Civilian), Pooja Naberrie (Human Naboo Child), Ruwee Naberrie (Human Naboo Civilian), Ryoo Naberrie (Human Naboo Child), & Sola Naberrie (Human Naboo Civilian) to the Star Wars D/6 Characters Section of the Site.

        I've mentioned that I'm thinking about starting a Naboo based campaign when I finish off my current Star Wars campaign, and I have to admit that writing up all the Naberries today has inspired me to weave them into the storyline as well. I wonder what other ideas will come up as I continue through these movies.

        And today the "K"s and "L"s on our Alphabetical journey through the characters of Star Wars: Episode 2: Attack of the Clones, and we've added Denaria Kee (Koorivar Political Aide), Agen Kolar (Zabrak Jedi Master), Sar Labooda (Human Jedi), Liam (Human Jedi Youngling), & Hat Lo (Human Thug/Crimelord) to the Star Wars D/6 Characters Section of the Site.
