Chomp8645 posted:I did think that it was very curious from a general marketing perspective (not just FFG stuff) that in the entire film there is not a single non-civilian ground vehicle, or any capital ship other that whatever Star Destroyer-esque ship the bad guy rides around on. You're forgetting about Rey's land speeder, as shown in the trailer (and film).

drunkill posted:A bunch of people have gone and made a community mod/expansion for Armada. Pretty cool that people are willing to do that. Nice Interdictor art. So, here's my question about the interdictor... (spoilers for movie and Star Wars Rebels) They made the Interdictor canon with Star Wars Rebels, but Ep. VII showed the Falcon leaving hyperspace right above the planet in order to do a stealth insertion. So, what does that say about the efficacy of Interdictors? Seems like JJ pretty much unintentionally nullified Interdictors. I'm planning to run a Star Wars RPG in a few months, and the Interdictor was always my favorite tool for surprising and freaking out players. Now, I have to be ready for the inevitable "BUT IN EPISODE 7 HAN SOLO DID A THING". I mean, it's not totally unmanageable or anything, but curious if I'm the only one that read the situation this way.

Is the FFG Star Wars LCG any good? My standard of good would be "approaching how good the Decipher CCG was." i.e. doesn't have to be perfect, but should at least offer some strategic depth. e: nvm I found the LCG thread... Finster Dexter fucked around with this message at 20:40 on Apr 7, 2016 |

I'm kind of resigning myself to never getting Armada to the table consistently, so I'm thinking about LCG. Though, I can't see the LCG sucking me in the same way that plastic spaceships did.

alg posted:It makes sense for a manufacturer to sell products to stores that promote their products and support their organized play at a better price than online warehouses. The game wouldn't exist without FLGS. 30% discount instead of 50% discount is hardly being screwed. I mostly agree, but there are also a lot of lovely FLGS out there that don't give a poo poo about poo poo other than Friday Night Magic (for example). Oh yay you have a few wobbly tables covered in soda residue and sweat. Worst case scenario Asmodee would sell all their goods through coolstuffinc and amazon, and I'd go back to playing board games and RPG at home and the local library, like I used to "back in the day". And I'm not trying to say FLGS should fail, because there are some good ones locally, and I DO try to support them, because they actually put some effort into running events, etc. But there's others that are just garbage.

Carteret posted:I enjoyed the demo. Quick play, fast games, and the collectable part doesn't seem too gross after talking to them. The highest rarity cards (legendary) are like, 1/6? 1/6? As in, if I bought 6 boosters, 1 of them will have a legendary card? hmm... that doesn't sound very good at all

Carteret posted:For a collectable game, that feels like good odds. Chase Mythics in magic are like, 2 per booster box? Maybe? Yeah, Mythic rares in MTG are a whole other level. I think those were like 1 in dozens of boxes if you're looking for a specific one? I think about the chase rares in something like L5R, and I think those were about 1 or 2 per booster box (like 30-ish packs, IIRC) so maybe you're right. drat, I really don't need to be sucked into another CCG business model game, but this does seem worth getting a couple starters and enough boosters so I have BB-8 or whatever. Will they have Poe??

Yeah, I don't know of any of the 4 FLGS that I go to that haven't sold through 100% of everything they've ordered and then some, with some pre-orders having to wait until the 15th and maybe after. I've also been talking to hard core ccg ubernerds and they all like the game, as well. gently caress. When the 3rd/4th wave of shipments come in Jan, I'm probably going to dive into this. I don't know if it's going to be as huge as Magic, but maybe... and with FFG's organized play... mmmm this should be real good

NTRabbit posted:The X-Wang thread usually recommends for the first buys after a starter, if memory serves, Imperial Veterans, Imperial Aces, Rebel Aces, and Heroes of the Resistance Yeah, pretty much. I think Rebel Aces has gone down in overall value since B-wings are kind of low to mid tier right now. Also, if you didn't get it, you'll eventually want the new TFA core set (with Poe Dameron) because it has a revised damage deck that is better than the old one. They are both 100% legal to use, though. But by all means, head over to the x-wangs thread it is good: http://forums.somethingawful.com/showthread.php?threadid=3657860&pagenumber=760#lastpost

I like Thrawn in principle. The version in Rebels is really good, imo. I recently re-read the Thrawn trilogy and a lot of the stuff Zahn tacked on like ysilimari and the clone stuff was kinda loopy. The genteel Imperial officer that is so tactically and strategically dominant that he could rise to the highest military rank in a very pro-human gov't even though he had blue skin and weird eyes is kind of cool. People think the art thing was dumb, but I actually liked that, too, and some of what people hated about it has been warped and exaggerated for effect.

Iceclaw posted:Eh, Thrawn still just have to study a handful of pieces of art to instantly deduce a whole race's innate fears. And he then delivers gems such as "They are afraid of the unknown, so if we pretend to have a super weapon that can bypass all their defenses nilly willy, they'll surrender". Truly a master strategist at work here. But I do confess the general concept of him works. It's just badly executed. The implication was, though, that in all those cases he wasn't studying a single piece of art, but that he collected samples of their art as part of a detailed study into their entire body of artwork.

Vitamin P posted:That would be cool. If it wouldn't mean yet more desert tiles a campaign set in and around Jedha city would be cool too. They could even add an 'aid, but at a price' mechanic for if the rebels choose to work with Saw. Yeah there are a lot of really good options there. A couple branching points maybe based on whether you try to kill/save Galen Erso. Could be very cool.
