Strangely, I never really thought about Storm Troopers when I was writing Stay Frosty. But Tom McGrenery's Stormtroopers+Death Frost Doom got me thinking about two scenarios:

Escape from Endor: Troopers cut off from the Shield Generator have to fight their way through rebel commandos hunting them, hordes of stealthy cannibalistic ewoks, and the monsters in the ewok TV movies to reach a shuttle at a remote outpost.

Kylo’s Cannon Fodder: First Order Stormtroopers with poor evaluations are sent out with Kylo Ren while he hunts ancient Sith artifacts. Ren never goes into these Sith outposts first. He waits for the troopers to set off every trap before going in himself.

    This sounds great. Anybody got suggestions for randomizing storm trooper designations?

    Slightly meh Flash generator: scratch.mit.edu - Scratch - Stormtrooper number generator

    Or... First letter of your first name + last letter of your middle name + day & month of your birthday.

    Or paste this into Excel (and write out the alphabet in cell A2): =MID(A2, RANDBETWEEN(1,26),1)&MID(A2, RANDBETWEEN(1,26),1)&RANDBETWEEN(100,9999)

This is my gaming circle minus my ACKS players. I am such an asshole. Since they're in the big city now, the players really wanted to know if there were any magic weapons for sale. ACKS ain't 3e or 4e though. There is exactly one magic weapon for sale. I rolled randomly to see what it was and... ...it's a cursed -2 sword. So I told the players there's a weapons dealer/fence who's looking to get rid of a magic sword he's gotten ahold of...cheap. Only 6,000gp when usually a +1 item would be 10,000gp. So far they are not suspicious. They're going to be so pissed at me. I can barely contain my excitement.
