The Order 66 Podcast returns with a brand new episode all about the little (and not so little) non-player companions that can bring excitement and roleplaying goodness to your games. We dive deep into companions in this show, with a look at both droids and animal companions, and how they can serve as assistants, actual NPCs, and mounts. The discussion ranges from the mechanics of using companions of all types in your games, to how to best pick the companion that’s right for you, to character optimization for the companion-focused player. So grab your restraining bolts, GamerNation. Activate those beast calls. And tighten that riding tack, as we ride off with Companions, tonight, on your Order 66 podcast.
