So, alone in my room sometimes I just set my RPG gear and paperminis […]

If playing a space swashbuckling character who might also be an alien or a droid does NOT stimulate their acting chops, I have no idea what will! Although it was technically a Force and Destiny game, […]

Last week, Tendaar the Mon Calamari (from the Age of Rebellion Beginner Box) played by Ivan sneaked into Whisper Base wearing an awesome disguise. I wasn’t able to participate in the session but Ivan commissioned an artwork of the pregenerated character in his new disguise. I thought the helmet sells the disguise very well. The original Fantasy Flight Games Tendaar […]
