Welcome to the first episode of series 84, everyone! In this series, we are covering two amazing games in one! Galactic, a Star Wars inspired, Belonging Outside Belonging, GMless TTRPG about relationships, rebellion and war among the stars by Riley Rethal. As well as Going Rogue, a game inspired by Star Wars’ Rogue One and Andor utilizing the same system but geared more towards one shots and shorter campaigns by Jess Levine! Our guest for this series is previous guest on the show, satah, who consulted on both of these games, and in this episode, we dive into learning about both Galactic and Going Rogue before we get to character creation in the next episode!
