On this action-packed Threat Detected, Moppo and our core group both complete their assault on Mt Antas. Rob Shanti shares about the Corporate Sector and Padme’s Lover’s group finish Wretched Hive.

On this holiday edition of Threat Detected Owen Stephens, Aaron Burton, Brian Casey, Dave Mondello and Chris Sniezak share the impact of Star Wars on their lives.

It’s midnight Sunday morning of UBCon. 17 players successfully tackled the Lord of the Hives delve. Tony, Robert and Garrett ride the adrenaline high with some of our players.

The Battle of Mt Antas continues. Moppo tackles an AT-AT. An old enemy returns. Plus a reexamination of how to calculate your encounters’ CL. Short Jumps looks at the corporate side of Biscuit Baron. Recast develops the Felucian Chief. Plus, the Two Jakes presents a song actually inspired by a Star Wars gaming session the songwriter played in.
