Jedi Blackbird
Saturday, April 30, 2011
Like Lady Blackbird? Love Star Wars? Then you'll want to take John Aegard's JEDI BLACKBIRD for a spin. From the introduction:It is a time of troubles for the Jedi Knights. The peace and prosperity of the Republic have made the Order complacent. The Dark Side is everywhere.
NOW, word has arrived from the distant Outer Rim that the renegade padawan ORDO VALLUS has established a holdfast on the junk world of KONDU. The Jedi Council has hastily dispatched three Jedi aboard the starship BLACKBIRD. Their mission: to bring Vallus back to the Jedi Temple on Coruscant, where he will stand trial.
HOWEVER, as the expedition emerges from hyperspace, it is confronted by the fleet of vile Hutt corsair Bokka the Bold. Bokka broadcasts on all frequencies -- the Jedi are not welcome here!
Awesome.
Also, we just passed the 2nd anniversary of Lady Blackbird. Crazy! Time flies.
Danger Patrol & Lady Blackbird Podcast

I think every game designer, while toiling in their dark oubliette, is buoyed by the pleasant memories of those players who truly get it -- the players who mind-meld with the designer's vision for a game and use it to create something amazing.The excellent gentlemen over at the Yellow Menace podcast are such players. Their episode about Danger Patrol and Lady Blackbird has not just made my day, it has made my year. I am beaming. Beaming! over here.
Thank you, YM crew!
