We played our first Star Wars game since December on Friday. Prepping the session had me digging through my various web resources looking for inspiration (and new entries for the campaign blog). They’re a useful collection of tools for anyone running a Star Wars/scifi game, so I thought I’d share them. Star Wars Galaxies at … Read more
