- Excellent Show!
Extremely good podcast with awesome hosts. Rissa knows her stuff and adds so many interesting anecdotes. Ben is clever and has so much knowledge.
A Must listen for anyone wanting to run Star Wars games.

United States6 years ago - Let me know the Risa is gone
Used to be a treasure chest of ideas. Now it is just a platform for Risa to talk about herself. Insane and useless. Way past time for a change in hosts.
Apple Podcasts1VurumaiUnited States6 years ago - The Great Podcast Tale
This show is a fantastic resource for GMs and players. They give advice that can transfer to basically any system not just those playing FFG’s Star Wars & Genesys. Lots of great ideas here!
Apple Podcasts5Markart211United States6 years ago - Everything a Star Wars DM needs!
With each episode covering a specific part of running a Star Wars game, there is plenty here for everyone. Whether you pick and choose for the specific bits you want to delve into or devour the whole show start-to-finish, this is a brilliant and extremely helpful show. The hosts are engaging and entertaining, and the content useful. Definitely worth your time!

United Kingdom7 years ago - Too much flirting, not enough content
I like the premise, but the hosts are constantly going off topic trying to be cute with each other.
Apple Podcasts2AnahodilUnited States7 years ago - Can't Get Enough
This podcast has inspired me so very much. The ever changing team of hosts helps keep things fresh and Ben is the constant that brings everything together. His insights are fantastic and have bailed me out on so very many occasions. Christine deserves so much praise for keeping this show and the duster podcast, Heroes of the Hydian Way, running smoothly. These people are all into this for their passion of the asset of telling a story, not making money or whatever else. So worth your time.
Apple Podcasts5Cogito Ergo HuhUnited States7 years ago - Helpful and entertaining
This podcast helps out both new and experienced players and GMs when running their FFG Star Wars campaigns.
Both Pod Cats draw on their previous experience in running games and dealing with difficulties set to them by players.
I would highly recommend it!

Apple Podcasts5IronMal1971United Kingdom7 years ago - Great Gming advice for Star Wars
When I first picked up the FFG Star Wars system, I was ravenous for any material that could help me make sense of the game. It's a wonderful game, but incredibly opaque for the newbie. So when I found this show, I devoured it with a fervor, and it has payed off. Every episode of this show bring solid adice for running a Star War, wrapped in a great shell of ongoing story about a group of EotE scum as they traverse the galaxy.
If you're planning to run - or even play in - an FFG Star War, you sho... more
Apple Podcasts5Observer138United States8 years ago - Great GM Resource!
Every time I listen, I have to restrain myself from telling my players that we're scrapping the current campaign and starting a new one inspired by the latest episode. I've learned so much from your show. I always come away with my imagination on fire (in a good way)!
Apple Podcasts5GM MatthewUnited States8 years ago - Awesome podcast!!
Great podcast for new and old rpg players/gm's looking to really add something to their gameplay. The hosts do a great job explaining a variety of ways to utilize the Fantasy Flight Games Star Wars rpg systems.
Apple Podcasts5PandraigOBrienUnited States8 years ago - Don't Think, Subscribe
Ben and company are phenomenal in their insight, discussions, and humor, for anything concerning role-playing and Star Wars, especially in the FFG system. David loves warhammer. Tess loves everything and always has something poignant to say. Beka, who is relatively new to the show, has strong opinions, but for very good reasons. If you ever wonder what to do in a star wars RPG, look no further than this podcast.
Apple Podcasts5ScoranUnited States8 years ago - Excellent podcast!
Really enjoy listening to this podcast. I just started playing Fantasy Flight's Star Wars rpg and it's a great resource in a lot of ways as a GM in the FF Star Wars rpg system.
Apple Podcasts5Corellian RunUnited States8 years ago - Yay Babar!
Found this show through the Dice For Brains podcast, this show is entertaining and a great resource for Star Wars and GMing!
Apple Podcasts5WiretapfeastUnited States9 years ago - Its a podocron!
Great show covering a wide range of topics related to the best star wars rpg of all time. There is also a heaping of style that keeps the presentation of information very entertaining.
Apple Podcasts5Ross ProtagonistUnited States9 years ago - Something useful every time!
Whether you're a GM or player, whether you play Edge, Age, F&D, or a combination of all three, every episode is likely to have something you can take away from it to improve your game. With a focus on fun and story, with a manageable length and good co-hosts, everyone involved in or interested in a Fantasy Flight Games Star Wars RPG should give this one a shot.
