These two subjects aren't related, other than they both occur this week...
Read MoreStar Wars Wednesday - Edge of Solo
Kantcon is coming up in July, and I'll be running a new Star Wars RPG adventure, and a panel/workshop. The adventure is definitely going to be Solo deep dive of sorts....Kessel Breakout.

Lots of Star Wars RPGs were played, and much more.
