Straight from their home page: "Give your players a reason to hate again. Blame it on us..." - TPK Games These guys really are awesome. Great Pathfinder content! About gaming in private hotel rooms: when veremond and I were at Gen Con, we played in a game where the GM actually took us from the loud hall - where the game was scheduled - to her hotel room suite so we could play in a quiet locale. It actually wasn't creepy at all. About how to deal with gamer funk:

i swear to Pete I thought the CA in CADave stood for Canada. Not that I thought he's Canadian or anything, but maybe he just really digs things Canadian?
Maybe it's just my bias from spending so much time in Michigan's UP. Howse it goin der eh!

How could you have an all jungle planet? Freakishly efficient atmospheric convection could disperse the heat from the solar energy evenly across the surface of the planet.
If you feel that all your plant life has to have direct light, you could have a similar gas layer that absorbs the "raw" sunlight, becomes excited, and similarly distributes the "secondary" light across the planet. If you want to go really crazy, it could be efficient enough that there pretty much wasn't any effective light- or dark-side to the planet at all. Sadly, that would really screw with Lord Vader's plans.
Special bonus: you don't have to monkey with the planetary orbit mechanics at all to accomplish that.

Or two light/energy sources (sun+gas giant), positioned in a very specific way... Or it could just be in the Star Wars galaxy where screw logic and physics. Didn't this start with Arakis from Dune? To be honest, the planet itself was the least of my problems with the book(s), I hated it mostly for the slow moving and predictable plot (full with holes) and the one-dimentional, unlikable, unerring and messianic protagonists. And that's just the good, first book... /rant

Loved the intro music this time around. It came at the right time, too - I've been harassing a fellow gamer for being a min-maxing munchkin that farts rainbows for a few weeks now. Then this. Your timing could not have been better.

In Star Wars, as in fantasy:
How can a planet have a single biome? The Force did it.

Of all the "single biome" planets out there, desert planets are the ones known to actually exist. Like Mars. You still have warmer desert and cooler desert, depending on the daylight cycle and latitude, etc., but all you need is a lack of liquid water to make the whole planet a desert.
And even in Dune I believe it was implied that the whole planet wasn't uniform. The region that the capitol and other offworlder settlements existed in was less harsh than the "open desert" that the Fremen occupied. Still dry as hell, but more habitable. Or at least, less sandworms.

Stu your impression of me came at the perfect time. I almost got into a major accident this morning while listening to this episode (not because of the episode mind you) and the adrenaline was flowing. Your impression of hating sketchers with Cinnamon hit about 2 minutes later and was the perfect release. Thanks for the laugh.
