This is post number 200 for my blog at starwars.com, Delusions of Grandeur. I first started blogging on starwars.com back in 2005, and in the intervening time, I've covered a lot of ground. When I first started, it was early in the Star Wars Miniatures game run, and I was producing scenarios for the Wizards of the Coast Star Wars website. Many of my early posts covered Star Wars in a broad, general sense. Posts about the music, Knights of the Old Republic II: The Sith Lords, and so on.
As my role in the minis game picked up speed, more posts became gaming oriented. The Star Wars Roleplaying Game was nearly dead – only minimal support remained while the Minis game was established. The scenarios kept rolling along. Then, WotC announced the return of the RPG as Saga Edition, and my focus split between the two. I cranked out minis previews and scenarios while I worked on RPG books and adventures for later publication. There were also GenCon reports and continuing random comments on books and other products.
After 6 years of the minis game and 3 years of Saga Edition, it's been a highly productive time for me. Now, of course, both games fell victim to the non-renewal of the license. We'll likely see some form of them again in the future, but only time will tell. I notice my own blog posts have dwindled over the past year, but with the creation of Star Wars Wednesday for this Delusions of Grandeur as well as my own website, I hope to improve upon that.
There is a lot of info here from the past 5 years, but here are some of my favorite posts. I may revisit and update some of them in future Star Wars Wednesdays. A few of the articles are on the archive site, as starwars.com reorganized itself a few years ago and a lot of links are still broken. Anyway, you may find some posts of interest. You can poke around the archive and see comments on a lot of rpg and minis updates, and other stuff as well.
