This is the D6 generation with your hosts Craig DLant.

No, no, no, cut that, keep that.

You put me in an ATST with frickin'

Wookie's attacking me and whatnot? Now you're talking.

Welcome to another edition of Rapid Fire, the round-dibble discussion of all things gaming.

Come here to the speed of an infected mechanic rushing headlong for the life support bay, brandishing a blood-stained wrench. Today's edition is brought to you by all of our fine friends over at Patreon, specifically David Jarrett, Canada, Andy, Andrew Delaney, Alindo Castro, and Miko Kirky Sune. I'm Geekley and McNardigan, your host. Today our panelists are Ross Wild Whistleblower, Wakeland. What?

of sanity for the players and uses little glass balls as a key component could, for instance,

include the concept of losing your marbles. Question.
