Death and destruction! Maul, along with whatever poor saps he's drawn into his ruinous orbit, spreads chaos as he descends upon the Outer Rim. After clawing his way back from the grave, Maul murders and pillages at every turn. Fueled by rage and vengeance, he searches for meaning among warring crime syndicates as rumors of his brutal attacks spread across the archipelago...
Look, guys, the Phantom Menace opening crawl was no help at all and Maul: Shadow Lord doesn't have any opening narration. Thank the Force for Clone Wars newsreels! Topics discussed include:
- A quick summary of Maul's whole deal for those of you who have only seen the movies and don't want to watch twelve hours of cartoons (Rachel sees and validates you);
- What makes Maul unique among our Star Wars darklords, from his political status (or lack thereof) to the way he closes the borders;
- The glorious potential of a domain that combines the Wire with the wild west, and also lightsabers;
- Why this is one of the domains where your PCs can have the biggest impact, for better or worse;
- and more!
