Because you can never have enough Star Wars RPG content (and because Steve just couldn't get left out of the conversation), Hooly is back with another episode talking about running games in the Star Wars universe!
We talk a little bit about using other systems to play in Star Wars, and some talk about what makes a story feel like Star Wars.
Because it gets mentioned a time or 2, and because it's such a great resource, here's a link to Wookiepedia. https://starwars.fandom.com/wiki/Main_Page

This week we're getting the down-low on a game we initially discovered via our 'Game of the Week' segment!
This week the Steves are joined by Wade Dyer, the creator of Fragged Empire, and the rest of the Fragged line of RPGs to talk about his games, and the recently launched Kickstarter campaign for the second edition of his "flagship" game, Fragged Empire. At the time of recording, the campaign was roughly 200% funded, and frankly, it's just a beautiful world and setting that you really ought to check out!

We're ringing in the New Year with a chat with independent RPG creator Gavriel Quiroga. He currently has a game called Hell Night on Kickstarter (ends Jan 22, 7AM US Eastern time), as well as having written both Neurocity, and Warpland. We talk a bit about his previous two projects, as well as what we can expect from Hell Night, and he even lets us in on what he's moving on to next! And you really should go check these games out, they're excellent!
