Bright Suns! For those of you that I haven't had the pleasure of meeting yet (or who just need a quick refresher), my name is Jake Bowen, and I'm one of your Game Masters for this game of Star Wars: Galactic Odysseys! We're so excited to get started with you!! First and foremost, I'd love to give a thank you to Cosmic Games for allowing us to use their space for such a large TTRPG project, and I'd also like to thank my fellow GMs, Graeme Bennett, Jordan Meza, and Lawson Richards; I truly couldn't have done this without them!

Our carefully cultivated group of Game Masters is a collection of bright minds, quick thinkers, and masterful storytellers. Each of us brings something unique to this massive tornado of a creation process, and we fully believe that this will give you a game experience unlike any you've ever seen. To put it plainly, this isn't your dad's AD&D game! Below are some short bios written by your GMs - its best to at least read the bio linked to the GM that specializes in your specific ruleset. If you don't know what your specific ruleset is going to be yet, why not read them all?
