Do I Got a Hot Take on WEG Star Wars For You
West End Games' D6 Star Wars game was a constant companion through my college years. Despite experimenting with Werewolf: the Splatbooking and Shadowrun, my heart belonged to Star Wars and the bewildering amount of sourcebooks detailing people and places only loosely tied to the events of the films.

If I can just drift an existing game rather than Frankensteining something new out of parts, that'd be great. … Continue reading More Tightrope of Peril
