As I mentioned a few days ago on\u00a0my <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/#!\/DrewKarpyshyn\" target=\"_blank\">Twitter<\/a> account, there&#8217;s an interview with me\u00a0on\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.forcecast.net\/story\/home\/Jedi_Journals_November_2011_141641.asp\" target=\"_blank\">Jedi Journals<\/a>. I pop in around 1:14 into the podcast. There&#8217;s going to be some more interviews in the next few weeks; I&#8217;ll be sure to keep you posted.<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;ve gotten a few e-mails asking me\u00a0if people need\u00a0to\u00a0play the original Knights of the Old Republic to enjoy Revan. I was careful to write the novel so that you don&#8217;t need to know the KOTOR story to understand the game, but you will get a lot more out of it if you are at least somewhat familiar with the main events from the history of Revan and the Exile. Fortunately, you can read\u00a0a good synopsis\u00a0over at the Wookiepedia website for both <a href=\"http:\/\/starwars.wikia.com\/wiki\/Kotor#Synopsis\" target=\"_blank\">KOTOR<\/a> and <a href=\"http:\/\/starwars.wikia.com\/wiki\/Kotor2#Synopsis\" target=\"_blank\">KOTOR2<\/a>.\u00a0(And for those people who played the game way back when they first came out, this might be a nice refresher on the details of the story.)<\/p>\n<p>For those of you who already\u00a0know Revan&#8217;s story and are just waiting for the book to come out,\u00a0you can\u00a0read the first 50 pages of the novel for free over at <a href=\"http:\/\/star-wars.suvudu.com\/2011\/11\/del-rey-spectra-50-page-fridays-drew-karpyshyn.html\" target=\"_blank\">Suvudu&#8217;s 50 page Friday<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>In other news,\u00a0don&#8217;t forget about the <a href=\"http:\/\/masseffect.g33kwatch.com\/\" target=\"_blank\">Mass Effect Marathon<\/a>\u00a0over at G33kWatch.
