The Order 66 Podcast Episode 129 - Fear and Loathing in Mos Eisley

06/06/20 • 190 min

The Order 66 Podcast returns with a long overdue (and somewhat topical) episode devoted to Fear. The hosts explore not only the Fear Check mechanics in the game, but how they are commonly underused, overused, and misused; and how both players and GMs can capture one of the most impactful and inherent parts of Star Wars storytelling properly at their tables. We also answer some listener questions, and explore a tricky listener quandary in When Good Games Go Bad. After such a long hiatus, Chris and Phil also pull out a 40 minute post-show that heavily revisits The Mandalorian, exciting hopes for Star Wars, and gaming life in the COVID world.

The Order 66 Podcast Episode 128 - The Force Quadrad

A saga-length episode awaits you as the Order 66 Podcast sees the return of all four regular hosts who have graced our airwaves over the last eleven years. GM Chris, GM Phil, GM Dave, and Twi’lek Goodness all return for a massive dive and deep discussion of the recently released Star Wars Episode IX: The Rise of Skywalker. For well over three hours we banter on as only we can, dissecting the film. We talk about what we loved, what we hated, and what it all means - as the hosts grow increasingly more inebriated throughout the show. A fun time, and a wild ride. Want to know what we thought of Episode IX? We don’t hold back.

The Order 66 Podcast Episode 130 - Brothers in Arms

The Order 66 Podcast returns with a promised deep dive into the new Clone Soldier career detailed in Rise of the Separatists and Collapse of the Republic. GM Chris and GM Phil focus on the six specializations, what they mean in your games, and what separates them from each other; along with both player and GM advice on running clones in your games and how to best capture the narrative and mechanical feel of Clone Soldiers in a Clone Wars game. We also return to When Good Games Go Bad with some advice for a GM who has players over-scrutinizing every detail; and we answer listener questions about using Sith Alchemy, dealing with both small and large groups of players, and running an Imperial game.
