Attention Meatbags: Win A Copy Of Revan – Autographed By Drew Karpyshyn
If you’ve played Knights of The Old Republic (which, if you haven’t you should, and you can still buy it on Steam), the Revan character needs no introduction. Likewise for Drew Karpyshyn, who has penned not only some of your favorite BioWare in-game stories from Neverwinter Nights, KoTOR and the Mass Effect series, but also some of the best-received extended universe Star Wars novels of all time in the Darth Bane series.
The fine folks at BioWare were kind enough to offer us an autographed, hardcover copy of the latest Star Wars: The Old Republic novel, Revan, signed by none other than Drew Karpyshyn himself!
So How Do I Win?

Drew Karpyshyn Interview At Star Wars Books – Next TOR Book Set After Game
In concert with today’s release of their new Star Wars: The Old Republic novel Revan, Random House via their Suvudu blog has posted a brand new interview with author Drew Karpyshyn.
In the piece, Karpyshyn talks about his work on the Mass Effect series, possible continuation of the Darth Bane story, as well as this little tidbit about another TOR book he’s working on:
Suduvu: Can you reveal anything about next TOR novel you’re writing, currently set for a Fall 2012 release?
Drew Karpyshyn: I can’t really say anything right now, other than that it will take place after the events of the game.
That’s a pretty big tease for fans of The Old Republic right there. What does “after the events of the game” mean, exactly? And will the new story lead into the next chapter of the game, perhaps through an expansion?
In any case, the interview is a great read for Star Wars fans in general as Drew stands up to some great questions, such as the problem with Jedi feeling emotion…
Head on over for the full read, and of course make sure you get your own copy of Revan asap!

Drew Karpyshyn’s Revan In Stores Today!
If you’re not familiar, Drew Karpyshyn is an author who has written some of the most highly-regarded Star Wars novels in the expanded universe, including creating some of the most educing characters including Darth Bane and, of course, Revan in Knights Of The Old Republic.
Fans of the KoTOR series were left with somewhat of a cliffhanger as to what really happened to Revan when he went out to deep space. Well, today fans can finally get some answers with the release of Drew’s latest novel, Revan! From the synopsis:
What exactly happened beyond the Outer Rim? Revan can’t quite remember, yet can’t entirely forget. Somehow he stumbled across a terrible secret that threatens the very existence of the Republic. With no idea what it is, or how to stop it, Revan may very well fail, for he’s never faced a more powerful and diabolic enemy. But only death can stop him from trying.
Recently at New York Comic Con, Karpyshyn himself revealed the book details on Revan’s turn to the Dark side, and also, if players ultimately want the full story of Revan, they’ll want to play both the Republic and Empire sides of Star Wars: The Old Republic.
Our copy is set to arrive today, and we can’t wait to sit down – and we’ll have a full review by our own minister of Star Wars Lore, Professor Walsh soon! Head on over to your local book store or order online today!

Blue Milk & Cereal: Do You Plan On Buying “Revan”?
No day would be complete without the breakfast of Jedi: Blue Milk & Cereal. Every morning, the team at Ask A Jedi will get Force-induced thoughts coursing through your head with delicious issues from around the galaxy! Join in the discussion below to make your voice heard!
Today is November 8. Do you know what that means? The SW:TOR prequel novel “Revan” comes out in just one week! I’m not an expanded universe junkie or anything but I have enjoyed the two previous SW:TOR novels and I greatly enjoyed the Knights of the Old Republic games. From what I understand, “Revan” is supposed to bridge the gap between the KOTOR story line and the SW:TOR storyline and that has me very excited.
“Revan” is written by Drew Karpyshyn, veteran of the Star Wars universe (i.e. the Darth Bane Trilogy) and BioWare storytelling (i.e the Mass Effect Trilogy, both novels and games). He was also the lead writer on the KoTOR video game and created the Revan character, so if anyone is suited to write a novel bridging the gap between KoTOR and SW:TOR, it’s Mr. Karpyshyn!
Personally, I have the book pre-ordered already and can’t wait to read it when it comes out. How about you? Are you interested in the story that bridges the gap between KoTOR and SW:TOR? Do you play on picking up a copy of the “Revan” novel?
