Episode 68 - Educating You In The Face
01/06/2009We are proud to bring you an uber-educational crunchy (and creamy) episode devoted to the hardest questions and hottest answers regarding the Jedi Academy Training Manual, and other bits of Saga Edition Goodness. We break from our normal format this evening for what is, essentially, an extended d20 Docking Bay with questions, answers, and all the juicy, gelatinous goo in between. Rodney answers YOUR questions about JATM (and other things), and gives his creative insight into the creation of this fine book. Nearly 2 hours of flabergasting fun and fraking felgercarb with Jedi Master Thompson himself, has left us instructed, enlightened, exhausted, and above all - educated... in the face. Hard. I've got a black eye. GREAT episode! Big thanks to the Rodster for generously giving of his time for us and you. Enjoy, GamerNation! Enjoy.
