Get in touch with us! 2020 - that was a bag of laughs, wasn't it?  Still, it wasn't ALL bad.  We take the time to go through our highlights of the RPG year and talk about what we enjoyed most, and what we're looking forward to in 2021.  From an RPG perspective, obviously - there's a great chance 2021 is going to be more of the same gloom and doom...

Get in touch with us! This episode we don our rose-tinted glasses and have a long, nostalgic chat about the space opera game to end all space opera games, Star Wars.  The movies have been around for over forty years, and the West End games version of the RPG hit the shelves over thirty years ago.  Crazily, it was this game, more than anything else, that shaped the Star Wars universe we know today....

Get in touch with us! This episode we take a look at West End Games' Star Wars Roleplaying game - the game that encouraged its GMs to think as movie directors rather than as games masters.  Based on the D6 system this game encouraged fast-moving, heroic action that was very much in the mould of the movies!
