Our show returns for another jaunt into the laboratory of Well Isnt That Special, our recurring segment where we examine a specialization in detail. This episode, we pick apart the Scientist spec to talk about build and play options, as well as take it to task with our infamous GM build off. Add to that some meaty listener questions and questionable post show meat, and we’ve got a fun and enlightening episode for you all, FOR SCIENCE.

The Order 66 Podcast Episode 94 - 1.21 GIGAWATS FOR SCIENCE

The Order 66 Podcast is dedicated to the Star Wars role playing game by Fantasy Flight Games.

Game Master tips and tricks, player tactics, encounter design, role playing guidance and LOTS of meat on the mechanics of the system is the foundation of the show, but we try to have fun with it too.  We invite you in and want you to Execute Order 66 with us.

Back in the hot seat and continuing to navigate through the wild space regions of a new era, GM Chris and GM Phil return to world building for their new custom designed era for Star Wars, the Fractured Republic. The hosts dive into a brief history lesson, then paint a picture of the six major galactic powers in this new, future era - as well as dipping the brush into two major PC-focused factions. New Jedi Orders, Galactic Rangers, Republics, Corellian Alliances, corporatocracies, iron blocks, Hutt progressives, Mandalorian mysteries... and so, so much more. Also, a new segment - The White Board - is introduced, as the hosts discuss and build out a key area of Fractured Republic; this time, a “station” to serve as a meeting place and ambassadorial locale for the galaxy.

The Order 66 Podcast Episode 140 - The Powers That Be

After light-years away from the airwaves, the Order 66 Podcast returns with a new vigor, a new mission, and a set of gaming goals in a galaxy far, far away. GM Chris and GM Phil prepare to launch a series of new episodes all about building a brand new era and setting in the Star Wars universe: The Fractured Republic. This episode sets the stage with a lengthy and deeply passionate discussion of the eras of Star Wars, the themes that game masters and players should think about and embrace for each era, and then sees the hosts bring these themes to task as the first step in defining the timeline and storytelling goals of the new Fractured Republic setting. We also answer some excellent listener questions, and spend a fair bit of time in post-show discussion on everything from The Acolyte teaser to a spoiler-filled review of the Fallout series. It’s so good to be back!

The Order 66 Podcast Episode 139 - Somehow the Podcast Returned

As is tradition for the release of a new piece of major Star Wars content, the Order 66 Podcast throws caution to the wind for an off-the-cuff rant and deep dive into The Book of Boba Fett. Welcoming back the familiar voice of Keith Kappel, we dissect The Book of Boba Fett with a ham-fisted, open-mouthed, no-holds-barred discussion. What does it mean to the fandom? How does it continue and build on the Star Wars legacy? How can the themes and set pieces of The Book of Boba Fett make their way onto your game table? So settle in for a warm Bacta Tank soak, and give a knowing nod to Fennec Shand as you ride your rancor off into the sunset, as we get all Dank Ferrik with a dive into The Book of Boba Fett on this episode of YOUR Order 66 Podcast!

The Order 66 Podcast Episode 138 - Dances With Banthas

The Order 66 Podcast is back at you with a return to our classic The Force Will Be With You segment where we deep dive into a specific force power. This episode, by listener request, we tackle one of the most versatile and potent powers: Ebb / Flow. Not only do we discuss the RP aspects and game mechanics of this often underestimated force option, but we also dive into how both players and GMs can make the best use of Ebb / Flow at their tables. We also return to the dark-shrouded halls of When Good Games Go Bad with a question from a GM dealing with wallflower players, and answer a couple of burning listener questions about competing narrative player actions and about utilizing cross-core careers in conjunction.

The Order 66 Podcast Episode 137 - Ebb Your Flow

Double, Double, Toil and Trouble, Lightsabers Burn and Sith Lords Bubble! The Order 66 Podcast stirs the old cauldron in this episode to brew up a fresh episode devoted to the full ins and outs of Sith Alchemy (or just Alchemy) in your games. From the various Alchemical Potion and Talisman recipes in the rules, through to a full crafting guide, and then how to properly and most enjoyably add Alchemy into your own games, from both a player and GM perspective. We also return to dingy shelves of Watto’s Black Market with a related and requested dive into the Potion of Wills and some crazy campaign ideas. And finally, we tackle some long awaited and deep listener questions about how to confront a GM with a tough rules call, and expanding and reworking a house-rule about calling on the Dark Side of the Force.
