Even more actual content?  Chris Allen, Travis Johnson, and Tyler Barnett follow up from Listener One.  What would happen if you nerfed mindlink or jumpmasters out of the game?  Who knows!  Then we talk about upgrades, ships, and pilots that limit future game design across the factions.  How have other games dealt with these cards that prevent new things from being released?  We walk through other games and formats to get an idea of where X-Wing might be headed in the future.     Carolina Krayts Facebook Group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/caroli ..read more

More actual content?!?!  Chris Allen and our one listener Travis Johnson get a chance to have a discussion with some guy named Paul Heaver to talk about the future design and format for X-Wing!  We talk to Paul about potential rotations and design restraints, and about the game in general!  And the real question, does Paul think bombs are OK?   Advanced SLAM Cluster Mine locations: https://i.imgur.com/pFpAS0x.jpg   Carolina Krayts Facebook Group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/carolinakrayts ..read more

Actual content?!?!  Chris Allen and our one listener Travis Johnson sit down and talk about where the meta is going after the large FAQ change.  We talk about the pros and cons of erratas, and what we might expect in the future based on what we've seen previously in X-Wing and other games.  Speaking of the effects of the FAQ, what's going to keep mindlink boats in check?  Does anything?

We initially didn't put anything out on the ROAD rules and the other announced stuff because there's too much we don't know. Turns out that didn't stop anyone else. Anyways, if you want a TL;DR it's if anyone is telling you they know what the meta impacts are going to be for changes like this, especially before we even know the details, they're either lying or stupid. Or both! Also, no one told me my audio quality was terrible at the time, so now you have to suffer for it. Sorry ..read more
