Order 66 Podcast

Back in the hot seat and continuing to navigate through the wild space regions of a new era, GM Chris and GM Phil return to world building for their new custom designed era for Star Wars, the Fractured Republic. The hosts dive into a brief history lesson, then paint a picture of the six major galactic powers in this new, future era - as well as dipping the brush into two major PC-focused factions. New Jedi Orders, Galactic Rangers, Republics, Corellian Alliances, corporatocracies, iron blocks, Hutt progressives, Mandalorian mysteries... and so, so much more. Also, a new segment - The White Board - is introduced, as the hosts discuss and build out a key area of Fractured Republic; this time, a “station” to serve as a meeting place and ambassadorial locale for the galaxy.

This episode, the Order 66 Podcast covers a topic that we have never covered before, which can be the fondest or foulest memory of a game: character death. The hosts dive headfirst into the black abyss of bad GMing, good story driven character choices, how death in this game can occur, when it should occur, and just how a player and group can handle it in the story. We also return to Watto’s Black Market for a requested look at the Merr-Sonn Model 31 Palm Stunner, and pontificate on some listener questions. There’s even a post show discussing Genesys, gaming for little ones, and exploring our first RPG experiences.

What an episode we have for you, tonight. We have returned, by listener request, to the hallowed halls of yore, with a re-look at a much-loved show topic The GM Holocron. We delve into the method and madness of the best tool you can use to prep for your games of any stripe; all tailored to Edge of the Empire! With a new Skill Monkey, Fragments and Transmissions from the Rim, Wattos Black Market, and some excellent listener questions its a long and entertaining jaunt into the minds of two very crazy gamers. Glad youre along for the ride. Also, check out the real life GM Holocron that GM Dave built at www.d20radio.com/gmholocron

GM Dave and GM Phil welcome Keith Kappel back to the show to discuss a section of Disciples of Harmony, specifically the Mentor section. The hosts go through what and how a mentor can be as a part of your games and then take time to build a mentor from scratch.

This episode of the Order 66 Podcast dives into investigation encounters and mysteries, not only running them and planning them correctly in your game sessions, but also how to plan an entire mystery-focused session or adventure.
