Last night was the second time I’ve run my Star Wars/Hero Kids mash-up. This time my daughter, Code Name: The Wife, and our friend visiting from Japan played.

As I’ve mentioned before I am a huge fan of Thunderscape’s premise and was a big supporter of its Kickstarter last year. I have since gotten my hardcopy of the book (only the second time a kickstarter ponied-up what it promised for me) and have poured through it a few times in hopes of someday […]
