We’ve been doing some campaign house keeping. The write-up for “The Lost Padawan” is now online. It’s the prologue chapter that kicked off Episode 12 of the Shadows of the Force. We’ve also created an Episode 12 primer and a chapter listing in the Holocron of Zend campaign wiki.

Campaign Status: November 2015
After a four-year hiatus we’re returning to our Knights of the Old Republic campaign. The campaign will be run as a series of one-shot adventures involving the crew of the Balanced Recursion, a Binary Transport ship working with the Jedi Order to find and protect force-sensitive younglings during the Mandalorian Wars.
The campaign picks up largely where we left off, with the Mandalorians having taken Duros and threatening to invade Coruscant. The Jedi Masters Malak and Reven have revealed the Mandalorians’ xenocide at Cathar, and elements of the Order have finally decided to take action.
The return is inspired by a few things. The impending release of Star Wars VII: The Force Awakens is a big part of it; so is the desire for a quick-hit campaign we can run when some of our more infrequent players can make it to the table. And then there’s our affection for the Saga Edition rules — a number of us still love that ruleset, and it didn’t take much convincing for us to return to them.
Look for new episode write-ups soon.

Campaign Status: October 2011
After a final rousing battle against the DeadStar salvagers, we’ve decided to put our Star Wars: Saga Edition campaign on indefinite hiatus. We’ll likely play a few one shots here and there, but the weekly campaign has switched over to Paizo’s Second Darkness adventure path using the Pathfinder RPG rules. You can follow that campaign through the GriffWiki.
Campaign Status, April 2011
The campaign’s on a temporary hiatus as we play through our annual Gygax Memorial Dungeons & Dragons Adventure. The adventure — The Forgotten Temple of Tharizdun — will likely take us a few sessions to get through, but we plan to return to Star Wars sometime in May 2011.
