More recognition of what me and the WEG team did back in the day for Star Wars.

West End Games' Classic 'Star Wars' RPG Is Still Setting the Blueprint for Its Universe

The venerable tabletop game is still shaping the galaxy far, far away—not just for the Easter eggs canon pulls from it, but its tone in creating new 'Star Wars' stories.

How Andor Got its Backstory from a Tabletop RPG: In 1987, 'Star Wars: The Roleplaying Game' added vital details to the sci-fi universe that are still used today in movies, games, novels, and streaming series. #starwars #andor #ttrpg

Book cover of the 1987 title Star Wars the Roleplaying Game. Book cover features a montage of characters and vehicles and locales similar to the movie poster: Luke and Leia and Han Solo firing blasters, Darth Vader swinging a lightsaber, Obi Wan, Chewbacca, R2D2 & C3P0, X-wings and TIE fighters, the Death Star—the whole schmear.
