DEAL OF THE DAY!(For 12 more hours!)It Was a Dark Time for the GalaxyIn the late 1980s, Star Wars was becoming a fading memory. The movie trilogy had concluded. The comic books and novels were winding down. The action figures had run their course. As the franchise celebrated its tenth anniversary, there was a new ride at Disneyland and … not much else. Not until a small hobby game company released Star Wars: The Roleplaying Game and The Star Wars Sourcebook. And suddenly the galaxy began to expand.This is the story of how a group of dedicated fans and gaming professionals helped pave the way for the Star Wars Expanded Universe — as told by one of the original architects! This book explains how material created for roleplaying games helped shape the Star Wars universe — and continues to influence it to the current day.https://www.drivethrurpg.com/en/product/249649/defining-a-galaxy

I bought my copy of the original Star Wars RPG at the gift shop at the Disneyland ride. So I have a copy of the first printing of first edition, with a Disney price sticker on the back. Almost prophetic.

So cool 😎 I had order it. Unfortunately I lost my copies of the game in a forced move 😕 I'm wondering if you contributed to this book at all, the Star Wars RPG was my introduction to Owen KC Stephens after all 😊

I was the pubisher, but beyond that I had nothing to do with this great tome. Bill is pulling on the Deep Lore here, from a time before I was ever allowed to mush 2 B-Wings together, or conceive of Hutt Battle Armor.

Since I paid $17 for it (it still has the price sticker on…), I think that is a safe assumption. (And I'm careful with books.)
