Long-time listener, first-time poster here. REALLY enjoying all the AP's.
I have a question for Tom or anyone else who has run a Star Wars RPG game.
I'm running a Clone Wars era SW Saga game for my son, and he is playing a Wookie Jedi. He's eight years old, so hang with me here. In the beginning he'll be leading a handful of clone troopers on various missions, but something keeps bugging me.
RAW, Wookies can understand, read, and write Basic, but can't speak it. How is he going to communicate with the clone troopers much less anyone else? I don't think there is a specific battalion of clones that understand Shyriiwook, and I'm not sure I want to go down the route of him carrying some sort of universal translator around.
Should I just ignore it? Mind you, this will have no bearing on his enjoyment of the game. This is more for me.
Has anyone else seen this and gotten through it in a logical, or at least non-fun-killing, way?
Thanks
