We're talking about Star Wars. Despite making plans for what to talk about, we ended up half-remembering names of planets and totally forgetting names of Jedi from "Knights of the Old Republic." Anyway, we learned that the "Star Wars" RPG has changed ownership at least once in the last year. Josh was especially surprised about this because he loves the game. But I guess we all had some other things to worry about in the last year.

What's the best dragon?
One Dragon, Two Dragon, Red Dragon, Blue Dragon. Wizard's of the Coast's upcoming "Fizban's Treasury of Dragons" goes through all the usual dragons: chromatic, metallic, gem. But I ask you where, in this modern age of industry and innovation, are the industrial dragons made of graphene, advanced polymers, and plywood?
