I can post D6 stats for them, yes. The Igatic are pretty enigmatic and the mysteries surrounding them are some of my best work as a GM (if I do say so myself) and I'm VERY excited to reveal them both to my players and the podcast audience. I don't want to spoil too much about them, but I'll happily post stats. For this planet, there will be a huge number of 'named' NPCs so I needed a way for players to be able to mentally distinguish them,  I wanted them each to be unique with their own personality and appearance. To that end I needed a race I could create 'headshots' so I settled on frogs. (There's a huge variety in coloration and features which should make them distinct to players) Since many star wars aliens are based on Earth creatures I figured I could get away with it. (Gamorrean's are pigs. Wookiees are shaggy dogs, Chevin are based on an Elephant (heck, even the name "Ephant Mon") Quarren are squids, Aqualish are walruses, Ranat are rats, Chadra Fan are Bats, etc etc.)

Here's a selection of the NPC's I'll be giving to the players:
