And how about characters?
I think R2D2 would have trouble being taken seriously as a senior officer. Now, C3PO could have done it. It was not his design so much as his personality and mannerisms. A serious C3PO would work. But on the other hand, in a Star Wars type future people will have to be accustomed to working with strange aliens. There may well be senior officers much stranger looking than R2D2. _______________________________________________ GurpsNet-L mailing list <[email protected]> http://mail.sjgames.com/mailman/listinfo/gurpsnet-l
