Expounded Universe 198 – Strasse der Schatten Wrap Up
Time to take the long view of this game, also answer some questions AND announce the next book. And let me tell you right here and now, it’s a doozy.

The final four chapters! How does it all end, what with the murder being solved already? Well obviously by wrapping up the loose ends and setting up the next book. […]
Well, this generally acceptable (and again, selected entirely off the title) book just succeeded in making us madder than every one of these Star Wars books since The Consent Gun […]
Laranth vs. Aurra Sing! In hindsight this is sorta depressingly predictable. Anyway they have a noir-grade showdown in the midst of a very weird festival, then Jax heads off to […]
Whoa, two chapters in a row that are a continuous story? Don’t think we’ve seen that yet! Anyhoo, the gang is still in “sit around bickering” mode, until Den kickstarts […]
We’re about 2/3rds of the way through the book, and for the first time ever any path that anyone is on seems like it might actually cross one of the […]
Den Dhur spends a little time wandering a big space market full of Wookiee Luau and disreputable merchandise, which he hates (Dhur hates everything), Typho adds bureaucrat to his already […]
Doing things in the wrong chapter order? Why not? It’s pandemonium gone wild as Aurra Sing continues to brag and lose, and Jax shows his… questionable side.
Back in action, just in time for the classic noir event of nursing a crappy drink in a low gin joint. Den and Laranth finally meet the Cephalon, and everyone’s […]
Oh no, where once there was only intrigue, now there is… MURDER! Who killed Ves Volette? Who else is working an angle? Rhaninn? Laranth? Certainly not our dear and trustworthy […]
A whole chapter devoted to our secondary antagonist, the legendary Aurra Sing, known for… standing on that one rock in Phantom Menace. Also I think she’s probably in the cartoons. […]
And the plot… begins. Both chapters today deal with the psychic fallout of a massive event of destruction and death, so obviously the episode is all jokes. Very much in […]
Whoa, what the heck did we miss? A lightsaber fight with Xizor and Vader? Oh well! We’re diving headlong into the middle of a trilogy set in the aftermath of […]
Questions, answers, thoughts, prayers, and also the announcement of the next book. Oh the next book. Why did I do what I did?
And just like that it ends, not with a bang, but with a lightsaber twirl and a resounding “meh.” Not sure what we expected, everyone killable was dead already! But […]
Just one more chunk of book left after this! People are dying at a pace I’d call impressive, but Maul and Eogan are still going strong, now on the lookout […]
Great set of chapters if you love pieces being moved around a board, I suppose! We learn a little about the worm, Sadiki is moving to a retreat stratagem, and […]
Jabba is making his move! The collapse becomes ever more dramatic as new players enter with the same speed that old ones are dispatched. Maul meanwhile is the man in […]
The dizzying spiral of decay and chaos that perpetuates the writings of Joe Schreiber continues ever downwards. Characters are now dying left and right. We near the end as Maul […]
Well, Maul finally finds his way to the “inner circle” but everyone in there is just commanding everyone else in there to kill everyone else in there, so that’s fun […]
