Part one of two where we discuss Star Wars Edge of the Empire roleplaying game published by Fantasy Flight Games. We talk about the dice, dice pool and the narrative component of the rpg system. We also touch on the force die, light and dark side points and how those are used within the game. Episode 70 will flesh out characters a bit and what we like about the game.

In Announcements we mention Gaming and BS’s plans for 2016, which includes new website, publishing our listener survey results, getting you more involved with the show and implementing a 3+ month show schedule!
