Answer to the question (short version) :  Star Wars

Long version: Star Wars has been around like “forever” to me. When “The Star Wars” first released I was 2. When “The Empire Strikes Back” launched I was 5. Star Wars has been in my life since day one in one way or another. Toys, adds, video games, TV series, movies, books. And not living in the UK meant there was way less influence from stuff like Judge Dredd, any other tabletop hobby thing ever. The closest I got to what I would call hobby today was an add for HeroQuest but that was “just a board game”. Star Wars had (and still has) everything.

Sure, most people go “I wanna be a Jedi/Sith/Force user” but the universe is so big you can be anything. From a pure game design perspective you have no limits. (Other than those the Mouse sets) Want a planet of My Little Pony? Sure! What a rebellion on a fascists ruled planet that fails spectacularly? Have at it! Rise of robots against their masters? Pod racing? Political debates? All in there.

So there is that. Star Wars. Love it to bits.

And now some tame, sombre music for a calm and relaxing weekend:
