Welcome Back to the Table!  This week Malcolm sits down with Jess to discuss her wildly popular Home Brew Campaign; Japan In Space.  This 5e setting is a product of two great loves, interests and fandoms, bringing together a historical age of strife and change in Bakumatsu Japan and the operatic expansive elements found in Star Wars media.  More than a TTRPG in a Galactic skin, Jess draws from her knowledge base as an academic who Majored in History and someone who has spent years living in Japan to bring unique cultural and historical components to her players at the table.  She offers tips on employing those ingredients into a homebrew game and how offering players the opportunity to do more than hack and slash through the world allows for unexpected moments of great RP and some hilarious character choices!  Enjoy this glimpse into the process of inspiration, adaptation and how to employ the absurd (*see Japanese Fertility Festivals) in ways that bring more joy and enrichment at your table.
