Diminutive Desert-Dwelling Metal Scavengers RPG

This table-top RPG is a loving homage/parody about what I consider to be the best alien race to be found in a Galaxy far far away.

 I have taken what I've seen on screen and made up an amusing RPG around what I've deduced and imagined about this race’s behaviour. They’ve been my favourite since I first saw them on film (on British Telly way-back in 1982).

 Ideal for a role-playing group who don’t care for what the Regime or the Resistance are up to and instead want to wander the desert, scavenging for interesting bits of scrap metal, repairing things, looting from negligent/absent space-ship owners…and this RPG is especially for those of you who want to shout gibberish and gesture widely at the GM as you role-play haggling over the price of an Electro-plasma-thermocouple-inverter-coupling with a buyer (the GM) who doesn’t speak your language and isn’t offering enough Galactic Credits for your liking. 

 This RPG files here consists of: two documents; the rules themselves (seven pages A4 sized) and a character sheet (one page, A5-sized). The rules are about 3,000 words long and feature several attempts at illustration by the author.

So try to forget that you’re still mildly irritated that those over-hyped jungle teddy bears have had two whole films and these keen scrap-metal-recycling fellows haven’t had a single film to themselves, grab your dice and pull on your hooded robe and decide what colour your eyes are going to glow…!
