Their Store Championship stuff was great, and game night kits are great too. They skipped Free RPG Day this year to do this Rebellion Day thing but it seems like GenCon slowed them down a lot.

edit: Regionals were awful this year, hopefully they go back to last year's model.

My only complaint about Regionals this year was that they balls'ed it all up and scheduled two LCG events for different games on the same day. Everything else about it was great: The Store Championships are a direct analog to last year's Regionals, and this years were just bigger events spread out a little more.

If they didn't call them Regionals last year and called them Store Championships, then the only other Official OP events would have been Nationals and Worlds.

The dark side SHOULD be easier, and more powerful. Thats how evil is portrayed in Star Wars. Every Jedi seems to have to work hard to maintain the light side, or that is the impression that I get. The fact that being light side doesn't make you look like a loving demon and terrify everyone in sight should be a pretty nice advantage, even if it doesn't show up in raw numbers.

Stay on Target should be in stores today. I'll post up what I know about it when I pick it up on Friday.

I got mine already. If you have any questions let me know and I can post tonight. The art is gorgeous, as usual.

As a child I used to obsessively draw Star Wars maps in my school notebook, because I was obsessed with DARK FORCES, and I'd plan out different levels. Making up maps is one of my favorite parts of RPGs.

I thought I'd be nice and go to the FLGS to pre-order/request a copy of Lords of Nal Hutta, since the FFG Upcoming page shows that its on a boat, and got told the release date in their system was 1/1/2020. :psyduck:

That must be their distributor's code for "we don't know." FFG is bad about delays, but they aren't THAT bad (Unless you play SW:LCG :smith:)

I read the Chuck Wendig novel Star Wars: Aftermath which bounces back and forth between the perspectives of a typical Star Warsian protagonist group and an Imperial Officer who's coming to terms with the fact that the Rebel Alliance has just kicked the poo poo out of the Empire, and in a moment of self-reflection she admits that it's no loving wonder that everyone views the Empire as the "bad guys" of the conflict instead of an orderly government beset by nefarious terrorists when they're going around building planet-destroying superweapons and naming them Death Stars,, like c'mon here.

In other FFG news..apparently the books (and everything else from the company) are street-dated now. Speculation on the FFG forums is that this has to do with their recent merger into Asmodee. While I'm okay with this in concept (having a hard 'release date' on a book is pretty neat), my Bothan spy friend who works at a gamestore is telling me that FFG is refusing to ship things early out of fear that stores will sell them early. So the street-date isn't even a guarantee that the book will be available at retail that date.

I've seen this mentioned a few times, but I can't find anywhere where street dates are listed. Not on FFG's website, nor retailers. I work in a retail industry where street dates and on-sale dates are a strict fact of life, but they are always forward facing.

What's Vanguard like? Also, any neat non-weapon toys in the gear section?

Silly. Lots of bodyguard, movement buffs, and a once per session: make a hard athletics, on success other friendly PCs take turns immediately.

Non weapons? Some rebel armor, some comms stuff, straight up space morphine.

It's been confirmed that cyphers and masks will launch on August 16th. And with that the last career book is out. As well as the last book we know they're working on.

Gonna be really bummed if we get the "Now the Game is complete!" announcement at GenCon :(
