A few days ago, I publicly mulled over how the game is going. That post attracted quite a bit of conversation, much of it extremely helpful in terms of focusing down on the stuff I didn’t think was working that I think is worth trying to address, going forward. On the whole, I’m pretty happy […]

Session Two of the current Star Wars game (run using Fate Accelerated).
Our heroes, having rescued a rebel agent on KWENN STATION, are en route to the backwater world of TATOOINE, in hopes of locating a former admiral and tactician of the OLD REPUBLIC – one long thought dead. But the evil GALACTIC EMPIRE also knows of Adar Tallon’s existence, and even now the wretched spaceport of […]
Thinking about Spaceships and Star Wars because… well, OBVIOUSLY
First, before getting into the “thinking” part, I’ll just embed this silly song with clips from a bunch of spaceship shows. Pop on some headphones and enjoy yourself. Now then… Yesterday, the Evil Hat guys released a new “World of Adventure”; I’m a patron of the project, and thus far I have not in any […]

The Clone Wars as they were Fought in my Head
This post jarred this loose and onto the page. Back in college, I played a minor character in a long-running Star Wars campaign. (This is not to say I didn’t play a lot, and got my character to the point where the game system started to break, but I don’t think of my guy as […]
Converting Starship Stats from WEG to Fate
Contrary to the evidence from this and previous posts, I am definitely not running thinking about running a Fate-based Star Wars game. I’m not. Shut up. Basic Guidelines: If you’re in a personal ship (where you’re in some way the ‘crew’ – usually indicated by an Aspect), use your skill rating instead of the ship’s […]
The Real Dark Side of Star Wars: Spoilers
I need to talk about something pretty shitty, but it requires a little background information, first. Many of you probably already know this background info, but some of you don’t, so I’m filling it in for them; everyone else, please bear with. I doubt it will surprise anyone to know I’m a long time Star […]
Star Wars: The Old Republic — The Question of PvP
A few days ago, Fogsong wrote: Star Wars: The Old Republic. My LoTRO guild is debating whether to go with a Player vs Player (PvP) server or Player vs Environment (PvE) server. We are caught on the horns of dilemma – we want to be able to quest and experience the story but also [want […]
Finding the fun in Star Wars again
Jeffs Gameblog: Episode IV: What we know, what we don’t know. Some good thinking on the original Star Wars movie. “Maybe there is no Jedi Order. Maybe Jedi Knights are exactly like medieval knights: a warrior class sworn to various lords. Obi-Wan as a vassal of Leia’s father? Maybe Jedi had a wide range of […]
