 |
|
I'm revising the rules for my Hyper Education System to include most of the Star Wars D6 Skill list. This time I want to include a comprehensive course catalog. The new rules are already done, and play testing is underway, but what I need help with is naming all the courses.
Here are some examples of what I already have
| Quote: |
Bargaining for Nerf Herders (Bargain, Type B, 1000 credits)
Commanding Respect (Command, Type B, 1000 credits)
Blaster Basics and Safety (Blaster, Type B, 1000 credits)
Don't get Conned (Con, Type B, 1000 credits)
Spotting Forgeries (Forgery, Type B, 1000 credits)
The Rules of Gambling (Gambling, Type B, 1000 credits)
Archery Basics (Bows, Type B, 1000 credits)
Hiding Your Stuff (Hide, Type B, 1000 credits)
Be Your Own Bounty Hunter (Investigation, Type B, 1000 credits)
Dodgeball (Dodge, Type B, 1000 credits)
Convince Them Your Right (Persuasion, Type B, 1000 credits)
Firearms Basics and Safety (Firearms, Type B, 1000 credits)
Find It! (Search, Type B, 1000 credits) |
I'm looking for amusing ideas for all skills.
Don't Shoot Yourself in the Foot, is catchier than Firearms Basics and Safety
Any suggestions you have would be appreciated.
Suggestions, better than my own, will make it into the course catalog. |

You could go with Sabacc and Card Sharks for gambling.
Love Dodgeball ("if you can dodge a hydrospanner you can dodge a ball!")

I really had thought about that title, but kind of figured it was too long.
May have to rethink that. |

I was just kidding; I think just naming it Dodgeball is brilliant! 8)
