Chomp8645 posted:Well that seems odd, isn't Cool Stuff breaking some kind of agreement by selling it right now? I'm a lot less familiar with standards in this industry than in video games, but I know that if any video game seller/distributor was openly selling copies over a week before release there would be hell to pay. FFG dioesn't have "street dates," just "release dates" of when they're sent to distributors. It's an accepted part of FFG's cycle that your store gets it when it gets it. For instance, my lGS got it in Tuesday, but the game store in Springfield, MO, 3 hours away, got it today.

Game Nite in St. Louis, Mo! Stop by sometime! We're planning on playing a bunch on Sat. I'll be the fat guy.

Looking through and building my first decks, I noted a couple of things: There really are no bad cards. Sure, a couple of cards are only OK, and certainly some are more efficient that others. Nothing, though, is clearly a filler or bloat card. Everything can contribute something to the feel of a pod. Why in God's name did they include multiple Objectives that clearly state only 1 per deck? Anyway, the decks. I'm just listing the pods, as there really isn't much point to list the individual cards, since it's all dictated by the objectives. Dark Side: ID: Imperial Academy 1x Recon Mission 1x Defense Protocol 2x Imperial Command 2x Ultimate power 2x Death and Despayre 2x Take Them Prisioner. Light Side: ID: Rebel Alliance 2x Fleeing the Empire 2x Mission Briefing 2x Rebel Fleet 2x Draw Their Fire 1x Hit and Run 1x The Defenese of Yavin 4 More boring and straightforward, just tossing stuff out and fighting, with some dickery hanging about. I want to play a few games with them before changing, but this feels like a solid start. Edit: poo poo, forgot Ultimate power is IN only, updated.

WerrWaaa posted:I have a couple topics I would like to see discussed. In my opinion, that 11th plus objective really needs to justify itself, as the decks get diluted. Taking that pod that has almost all Fate Cards wouldn't be a bad call, though. Tempo is something to learn by doing, really. Feeling out when to play versus save for defenses versus when to use as an actual card is something that changes turn by turn, and even hand by hand. Just as learning how to bluff well as the Corp in Netrunner, learning how/when to edge is something best figured out by practice, really. It's a mechanic that allows player skill to really shine over card choice/deckbuilding.

Still stoked about this game. I have reckoned that if Luke has Trust Your Feelings on him, he strikes in a combat, gets focused, then you focus TYF, and Luke can strike again as he is still an un-Focused participant in a combat. Toss in a lightsaber, and he can wreck most games in two turns.

Bosushi! posted:There's actually one neutral objective in the core set that is designed specifically for multifaction decks. The objective itself and some of it's cards allow you to ignore faction resource requirements. Unless one of the 7 is faction only. I use the LS one right now because I only splash Jedi, but I need the Rebel Fleet only objective, too.

Trench Run is there to force the issue. It becomes a huge priority for DS to prevent more than 5-6 damage to it, and it spreads their defensive capabilities.

I'm excited to see what the expansions will bring, as I saw in a disrtibutor's magazine the first one is due in Feb. the pic showed but didn't spoil a new Darth Vader, and a Rogue Three.

Oringinally, they were building an LCG for Star Wars that used most of the rules from the Lord of the Rings LCG. People got upset that it wasn't going to be a competitive game, and they rebuilt.

Ok, I see. Thanks! I never made any ranting posts, but I did want Star Wars to have a competitive aspect. I just got into the LotR game, and it's a nice break from building a dick deck to frustrate others, so build a dick deck that really helps your buds out.

I've been listening to A Smuggler's Den podcast from over at cardgamedb.com, and they have revolutionized how I play and see the game. I think they're worth a listen.

this troper posted:I ordered the core set for this and I'm looking forward to giving it a shot with my friends, since they're all into card games, especially deck building ones like Dominion, but they like LCGs too. I watched the cool narrated tutorial video but is there anything else important I need to know as a beginning player? The golden rule of card games: if it's worth doing, it's worth doing twice.

Desolation came in last night for me. A good mix of nice, interesting, and cards that will get better when more than 3 Hoth objectives exist per side. The new Vader is very cool!

Dat Navy pod  A:NR vs. SW: I've actually discussed this with many of my locals, and I keep coming back to "In three years, I'll still be willing to play and buy Netrunner. I'm not sure I can say that for Star Wars." It's a shame, because I like both a lot. The problem is Star Wars takes a lot longer as a game to develop than Netrunner does, as the pod mechanic means deck innovations are always significant, and therefore new deck archetypes (such as the Smug Jedi build that has been all the rage lately) take a while to come into play. Heck, we're just now seeing the ideas begin of Hoth centric decks, and we're two packs in. I don't want to sound cruel or mean, because it's not meant to be. I do like this game and the pod mechanic is really neat (although frustrating sometimes when swapping out one or two pods,) but the game develops much slower in my opinion, and it's a different meta tempo than Netrunner is.

First night of league for us here, and my Imp Navy deck just isn't cutting the mustard. Anyone have a good Sith build (obviously, Palpy and Vader1.)

A New Hope is a reset of sorts, too. The game doesn't seem to be able to do much to mesd with tempo, so a strong start can carry you to victory.

Our regional is this weekend, and I had to threaten going to a competitor to get my Assault on Echo Base last night. I didn't like doing that, but I needed to study the set so I can be prepared (and now I'm tempted to rework entirely.) They really are hard at work to make alternatives to Smug Jedi competitive.

If anyone is on the fence, I have a full playset up to EoD that I want to get rid of for cheap. Comes with the Regional divider cards. Hit me up with a PM or screen name at.gee mail dot com

Corbeau posted:I mean in every way possible. I knew it was over when they started referring to cards, by title, in immense chains. And then they didn't learn from it in their following games. Unfortunately, agreed. I loved playing the Decipher games in high school, but looking back it was atrocious design. Imagine a player wanting to get in on the game around Jabba's Palace release. There are tons of rules the core set never addresses, far too many objective decks you won't see until you run headlong into, and piles of silver bullets everywhere. The strength of the license at the time kept it going for as long as it did, and I cannot concieve how those guys keep playing with that fan community.

So, it's been a while, but I stopped playing during the Hoth cycle, before the first deluxe expansion. What are *the* expansions to pick up right now?

Would anyone be interested in my meager collection? It's 2x Cores, 1x Edge of Darkness, and all of the Hoth Cycle. The game is fun and I love Star Wars, but I don't have time for the game any longer.
