Wednesday, January 11, 2012 at 11:41PM The Old Republic is everywhere lately. In this case, is the Knights of the Old Republic making its return to comic book store shelves. This week marks the release of that to the Knights of the Old Republic: War, by John Jackson Miller.

This week I wanted to call attention to a few things, and then realized they had something in common.
d6 sw, starwars.com, swse, twitter in Star Wars Wed. Wednesday, September 21, 2011 at 11:45PM So, I started this post last week, then deleted it because it became too much like an earlier post, and I decided to go the starwars.com route anyway. This week I'm returning to the subject because:

Wednesday, August 31, 2011 at 12:02AM So, I finally have a little more time this week to follow up on something handed to me at GenCon: Chris West's latest Maps of Mastery map. As with Chris' earlier maps, the Mass Transit III map works with Star Wars Minis, the RPG and most any sci-fi RPG out there.

KC Game Fair, ShaunCon, d6 sw, gencon, swse in Star Wars Wed. Wednesday, July 13, 2011 at 12:02AM This past weekend, I attended KantCon, in the Kansas City area. I wasn't sure of my schedule beforehand, so I went as a player, not a gamemaster. I carted along a couple of games in case I needed to run a pick up game of something, but my goal was to play more than run this time around. I've talked a lot about creating adventures for cons the past few weeks. This time I want to talk a bit about the logistics of playing and running in an event, with this fresh in my mind.

Monday, July 4, 2011 at 1:01PM I should have realized this sooner, but with the elimination of the Hyperspace fan club, now anyone can read most if not all of the old Hyperspace content. That means the tactical maps I did for the Battle of Turak IV article are now open for all to see. And, for those who don't recall, Turak IV originally appeared in WEG's Imperial Sourcebook. Some of the logos/graphics in the article later appeared in WEG's mini's book, Imperial Entanglements.

As was pointed out in the comments, it's not open to eveyone. Looks like I was still signed in from an earlier session and didn't notice. Sorry about that.
d6 sw, starwars.com in Cartography, Wednesday, June 22, 2011 at 12:03AM Last week, I discussed the pitfalls of stat block creation for public use/publication(mostly for Star Wars Saga Edition, but applicable to other systems as well). Keith "Nar" Kappel of www.fandomcomics.com followed up with a good question I wanted to address here.
d6 sw, swse in Star Wars Wed. Wednesday, June 15, 2011 at 12:02AM A few hours ago, I finished recording/co-hosting an episode of the Order 66 podcast. I'm writing this on Sunday, because I'm traveling this week. If all goes well, this will auto-post at the right day and time. If you never listen to the Order 66 podcast, it is dedicated to the Saga Edition of the RPG, and you can find it at d20 Radio.
In the episode, we talk about creating modules for public use/publication and how that is different from creating an adventure for a home game. Hopefully, some of my more rambling comments still provide some help. It occurred to me, however, that one aspect we didn't address was stat blocks, so I wanted to touch on that a bit this week. I'll be addressing Saga Edition specifically, but most of the following applies to any system.
