Happy New Year’s, the 2022 Astral Projections Edition! And about time. I like to start off my Astral Projections with a preview\/threat\/promise (take your pick) of what I might write about this year.<\/p>\n

Just last month, I finished Force Wizard (Phase 2, I will call it), with the Jedi Signature Ability Peerless Interception<\/a>. I am ready for something new, but am very fond of this feature. So, a few months ago I decided to look over the Force talents from the FFGSW line. I am tentatively planning (as of this writing) to do this by talent tree. I will probably start with the universal specs that offer FR1. Expect the first of these later this month.<\/p>\n

Related tangentially to FW Ph. 2, as part of my December 2021’s Holiday Specials, I did an FW style treatment of the Clone Soldier SA, Unmatched Teamwork<\/a>. If you are interested in seeing more like that, please tell me in the comments or on Facebook.<\/p>\n

What else besides Force Wizard and Star Wars in general do I have up my sleeve? Right now, I am still loving both Star Trek Adventures (STA) and CyberpunkRED (CPRED), both of which I wrote about in 2021, so expect to see more of those systems here in 2022. In fact, I am currently reading STA’s Shakleton Expanse<\/em>, a campaign setting based on M\u014ddiphi\u00fcs Entertainment’s Living version of STA. As I mentioned in the 2021 Gift Guide, I am enjoying taking this supplement slow, but expect to see an Astral Review in the next couple of months.<\/p>\n

Unlike STA, which I get to play only a couple times a year, I have lucked out with CPRED, finding an enjoyable play-by-post campaign. This in spite of the fact that playing regularly has exposed a few mechanical shortcomings in the system that I couldn’t recognize from just reading the CRB. (Which is why said shortcomings didn’t make it into my 2021 review<\/a>.) I may write a bit about my experiences if that group doesn’t object.<\/p>\n

I also want to get back to two of my favorite statblock features. The first is more Star Wars aliens\/creatures for both the FFG and Saga Edition rules. The second is continuing my Literary features where I adapt creatures, and sometimes the odd bit of gear (like Captain Nemo’s gun<\/a>),\u00a0 from some of my favorite books.<\/p>\n

So that’s what I hope this space will look like in 2022. Please join me for more chaotic good gaming fun.<\/p>\n
