Keep Your Cool: A Star Wars RPG Podcast

Howdy! Hasn't been near as long this time, right? In this episode I discuss my recent journey with Star Wars, my exit from the West Marches server and experience with the internet RPG scene, and discuss some content that I would like to dive into deeper in future episodes of the podcast. This is certainly my least scripted episode to date, so let me know what you think about the format. Thank you all for listening! --- Keep Your Cool is a podcast about Star Wars RPGs.

In the longest episode yet, I return after the longest two-week break in history. Obviously, I spent all of that time making sure this one was going to be great, right?! Well, let's see. Today I bring the conversation around to the topic of the "basics." I realize that I've never taken a pause to first explain what I believe an RPG is and should be, and furthermore why I love playing the Star Wars RPGs specifically. Then, I discuss the basics of a West Marches server, and how a group of us in Star Wars: Insurrection Discord have been applying it to a galaxy far, far away.  Then obviously today's story will have to come from Insurrection, right? Right. I'm experimenting with new software, new music by Luis, and general style changes, so feedback is welcome!

In this episode, I give an overview of the many regions in the galaxy to hopefully set the scene for future deep-dives into these regions. The conversation is mainly kept to region-wide traits and characteristics, as well as a couple of standout sectors and hyperlanes. No story at the end of today's show, as the tail end of the current adventure is yet to be seen: just know that The Wheel is in turmoil, for now.

In this episode, we visit the Yavin system, with its main gas giant Yavin Prime and the more famous moon, Yavin IV. Then, the story of Ko-Bee One (different than Ko-Bee, trust me), KRT, and Bodhi as they make friends in a very... explosive manner.

In this episode, we visit the planet of Pijal which was featured in Claudia Gray's book, "Master and Apprentice." I talk about its geography, the traditions of its people, and possible reasons for players to visit the system... not to mention what could go wrong when they get there. Later, I tell the story of entrepreneurs Ko-Bee, Methuselah Honeysuckle, and Zoqu and how their bobblehead of Grand Moff Tarkin may just make them as rich as they want to be.
