A special thanks this week to Lil_Literalist, AmericanSaikyo, Tysdas, and Zloykrolik. Thanks for being part of the Outer Rim Ruffians.


This week, Stephen and Sam talk about their experience in playing in their first online only LFG advertised one-shot! The stars aligned and the fellas from the Dark Times got to enjoy Saga Edition twice in one weekend. Also, with the one shot comes the spoils! We brought our special characters for your scrutiny, dear listener. Don't forget we are going on HIATUS from July through the end of August, don't expect any episodes during those months, but DO expect some cool Patreon-exclusive content! Also, another reminder that all Patreon Proceeds from this month are going to go to Owen KC Stephen's Medical Bills, with our own Stephen matching them as well!

We're back! This week we're capturing the elusive Skekfish through the Saga Edition lens, a strange way to catch a fish if you ask me. Listen as Sam and Stephen revive this statblock from the grave of the Revised Edition Star Wars RPG. Thankfully, Tsu has sent us an elegant version of this fish that he so bravely brought back from extinction using the Beast Creation Rules from the Unknown Regions Sourcebook. Don't forget your Level 10 Lawman is due Sunday, February 26th at 11:59pm PST! Happy (Build Bounty)Hunting!
