Nate, Sebastian, Ryan, and David all gather to discuss STAR WARS: KNIGHTS OF THE OLD REPUBLIC, BioWare's 2003 RPG epic set a long, long, LONG time ago in a galaxy far, far away. We discuss RPG combat systems, moral choices, and the pleasure of new looks at familiar terrain. Ryan gives us a peek into the history of Star Wars tabletop games, Nate posits a third possible force alignment, the "Medium Side," and we wonder whether Carth Onasi is "Diet Kaidan Alenko."
It's our 100th episode! Join Nate and a whole host of guests as they consider a dozen games that didn't quite make the cut to receive their own episodes. Ryan extols the virtues of some games that don't hold your hand, Sebastian highlights some games with more narrative punch than you might at first suspect, Nate loves a game which has big Studio Ghibli energy, and Jordan likes when Luigi is scared. David gushes over his favorite dungeon-crawler/town-builder/time-travel/photography/golf RPG, Kari explains what a "Pikmin" is, Rebekah will fight you about Golden Sun, and Brock submits a surprising favorite.
