New Year, New Blog Post

 I'm back after a long blogging hiatus. The totally weird thing about this is that my last post on this blog was precisely a year and a day ago. Not the sort of posting schedule I anticipated, but alas, here we are.

I am actually going to be posting on this blog again (promises, promises. I know) because I am actually running a campaign. And this time? It's serious.

Well, the game isn't serious but I am serious about running the game. 

Yes, the rumors are true -- I have finished my hack of two hacks (and more than a dash of SWN) of the inestimable WEG Star Wars d6. The story of how this came to be stretches all the way back to the start of the pandemic, when we were all bored to tears and locked in our homes. I put out feelers for a Quarantine RPG to be run via Discord, with a poll for what kind of game/system to play. The winner was Star Wars and so I got to work.

I put a bunch of work into it before realizing it needed even more work, but the game was supposed to start, so we started playing with rules that were half my homebrew and half published Hyperspace d6 (see link above). It was wholly half-baked.

Eventually, it became too much for me to try to work on my rules while trying to prep the game on top of my workload as a law student. The game lasted but three sessions and after some more work that summer, was laid to rest. 

A month or so ago I started up again and managed to finish my ruleset to the extent RPG heartbreakers can be finished. Then I created a cluster of planets to use as a setting using the Minos Cluster from the OG WEG Star Wars "Tramp Freighters" supplement as a template. With character sheets updated to match the finished rules, I was ready to fulfill what I had set out to do oh so many moons before:

Run a fuckin' Star Wars campaign.

And so that's what I have done! We started last week with character creation and had our first session just this past Wednesday. A play report will be up shortly, as will the posting of my rules and thought process on coming up with the Kord Pria Cluster.
