Local cons are always fun.
Read MoreStar Wars Wednesday - Ghosts of Dathomir Resources
Ghosts of Dathomir is out, so some GMs and players are (hopefully) planning their new campaigns, or integrating the adventure into their current stories. This post has a few resources that both may find useful to their new campaign. It has some very minor spoilers - not more than what you might learn reading the back cover of the book.
Read MoreStar Wars Wednesday - Not on the Boat
Good news! There was an important update in Star Wars Force and Destiny Ghosts of Dathomir's status over on the Fantasy Flight Games site. Spoiler: its not on the boat any more!
Read MoreStar Wars Wednesday - Star Wars Day at the K 2017
So, a couple of weeks ago was the 2017 edition of Star Wars Day at the K. For the third year in a row, the KC Royals held their Star Wars themed day, and I went once again.
Read MoreStar Wars Wednesday - Force Friday II
Force Friday already? It certainly seemed to sneak up on me, since I just realized it is the day after tomorrow.
Read MoreStar Wars Wednesday - Gen Con 50
Gen Con 50 was last week, and with it came a couple of announcements. One I should have covered here before the show, but had issues trying to use a mobile app to update the blog. I eventually just had to give up. The convention was fun. It was also sold out at 60,000 unique badges and over 200,000 visitors, however that is calculated. It felt more crowded at times, but not as overwhelming as it might have been. Part of that was expanding into Lucas Oil Stadium, I'm sure.

Gen Con is next week, so of course I'm not ready yet...like everyone else going to Gen Con.
Read MoreStar Wars Wednesday - Kantcon 2017
Last weekend was Kantcon, a small but busy gaming convention in the KC area. I rolled out a new con Star Wars adventure. This time I also left enough time to actually play some games as well, as opposed to running the majority of the time.

It's one of those when it rains it pours stretches on announcements. New books and a new Origins award win!
Read MoreStar Wars Wednesday - Order 66 100th Episode...Again
Last week, the Order 66 podcast celebrated it's 100th episode again. I say again because it's their 100th FFG Star Wars RPG podcast, and they previously well exceeded 100 episodes with d20 Saga Edition. It's really amazing how long the podcast has lived on, when so many fade away over time. I've been a listener since the first original episode.
Read MoreStar Wars Wednesday - GenCon 50 Event Reg Open
This week, the GenCon 50 event registration opened up. The 30th anniversary Star Wars RPG panel is proving to be very popular, which is great. It's currently sold out but that's not the end of the line.
Read MoreStar Wars Wednesday - 40 Years of Star Wars
The Star Wars 40th anniversary of the original release is tomorrow. Not coincidentally, this week also saw the release of new photos and info on The Last Jedi. It is amazing, of course, that Star Wars carries the same, really more, popularity as those early years.
Read MoreStar Wars Wednesday - 30 Years of Star Wars RPGs & Gen Con
This week, Gen Con's event list went live for as a preview for preparing for event registration, which starts this weekend. For the first time, I'm organizing an event rather than just being part of someone else's. Of course it's Star Wars.
Read MoreStar Wars Wednesday - Planet Comicon Wrapup
Planet Comicon was a whirlwind. It grew yet again in size and likely attendance, though the numbers haven't been announced as far as I can tell. Last year was 70,000. I spent most of my time in the game room, which was much bigger and as busy as the rest of the convention. I wasn't the only one running Star Wars RPGs. There was an impressive table set up...
Read MoreStar Wars Wednesday - Moving on to Planet Comicon
So the events and Star Wars announcements have piled up quickly the past couple of weeks. I'll return to more Celebration talk next week. For now, I've got just enough time to talk about Planet Comicon this weekend, which will have a good Star Wars presence.
Read MoreStar Wars Wednesday - Celebration 2017 Wrap Up Pt 1
Star Wars Celebration Orlando 2017 was a huge hit and fantastic show. It set a record for attendance at 70,000 people. It had panels and guests and surprise guests and more around every corner.

Star Wars Celebration Orlando 2017 starts tomorrow, and I'm fortunate enough to be attending again this year. Here's my anticipated schedule...
Read MoreStar Wars Wednesday - Celebration and Retribution
Sometimes the blog titles write themselves, sometimes a combination of topics produces something memorable if not directly related to each other, like this week. Star Wars Celebration Orlando is only a week away. Retribution is another story...fortunately.
