Trends, Statistics, and Predictions!

It might also have stats for the helicopter Inquisitor lightsaber!

I've been thinking about homebrewing one.

An easy option would be to slap Linked 1 on a double bladed saber :P

Maybe crank up the Unwieldly quality to even it out a bit.

Bumping up Unwieldy makes sense. I remember hearing or reading somewhere that the spinning blades are really just for show, to unbalance their opponent, but it's actually not a great way to fight. I could also see giving it Innate Quality (Parry Talent), since the spinning blades make it easier to parry.

EDIT: But we're getting off-topic. Yay stats and numbers!

I thought that the Saberstaff already had linked 1...

It does indeed... whoops.

Could always increase it, but that could get crazy fast... Maybe some Innate Talent would be more fitting then.

Could maybe also add 1 or 2 ranks of the Defensive Quality.

No Disintegrations is on the boat now, if anyone was wondering

Why, so it is! Two things:

1) Woohoo!

2) Dammit, why am I always the last one to know these things >_< ! I literally checked this less than a half hour ago, and was going to check again right after I finished my run-through of the forum!

Anyway, give me a few moments and I'll recalculate the predicted release date. Although don't get your hopes up; I don't foresee it moving much...

EDIT: Okay, with this new information, the prediction for the release date has moved closer by one week: No Disintegrations is now predicted to be released on January 5, 2017!

That's a rough one, and I'm definitely allowing that it might still be the 12th, but I think we've got a good shot at the 5th, at least. I'll go update the first post!

I would rather side with your math, Absol. But having worked at UPS and FedEx, I wonder how the Holiday session will impact the release date.

Hey, I just said that'll be the day FFG says the book is available, I've made no claims about when copies will actually show up in stores :) !

Alas, it appears that my prediction of no new announcement in November has come true. Sadness :( . So, let us all look forward towards December with hope; both for the release of Friends Like These and for a new book to fangirl/fanboy over!

Well, there's still plenty of November left. You might just have gotten the date wrong. . . .

Do I need to break out the days-of-the-month-for-new-announcements d again :P ?

Anything past the 16th is near guaranteed not to have an announcement. Especially with the holiday in there (Thanksgiving, for you lucky non Americans)!

What do you make of Lords of Nal Hutta showing up on the Upcoming list again, as "In Development"? Did FFG accidently list that instead of a hitherto unknown region book?

Just a miss click by whoever put it up I would say. Meant to put it in 'Awaiting Reprint' and accidentally hit 'In Development'.

Yep, that's my assumption,too :P . Kinda like the whole rigamaroll with No Disintegrations not showing up on the upcoming page for so long, someone made a little mistake and we're all freaking out about it.

Well, I mean, other people are freaking out about it. I NEVER freak out about tiny snafus occurring on the upcoming page. No, ma'am!

Of course not! You are the model of calm, rational, collected patience! I have never seen you get upset over anything. Ever.

Darn right, I am :P !

Friends like these is shipping

There we are! I was thinking that I might have to push my prediction back...

Although this is problematic (for me, not for you guys!), because it changed on a Wednesday. Every other change to Shipping Now has been on a Tuesday. Darn FFG, breaking the patterns again! They were very beautiful patterns, too >_< !

But with it changing status, I can confirm that my current prediction of December 8 is indeed accurate!

Friends like these! Friends like these! Friends like these! (Come on, keep chanting til it arrives!)

Friends like these! Friends like these! Friends like these!

I'm chanting, i promise, I'm just not typing it out :) . Made running my IRL game on Friday really hard, I'll tell you what!

Should be this Thursday, I believe!

EDIT: Also, gosh darn, Ghosts of Dathomir ! 52 days and counting? At this rate, if we don't go to At the Printer this week, it'll be the first time my initial prediction was too EARLY. Not fun. Not fun at all.

I'm waiting so (un!)patiently for this book! Probably my most looked-forward-to book besides No Disintegrations. Plus, one of my players is now running a Mandalorian, so I want to see what shtuff they put in there for that.

I checked with my FLGS (Canadian Edition) on Friday and their distributor didn't have an ETA as of yet. *twitch*

That's...somewhat disturbing. I did have a thought that possibly, due to the book changing to Shipping Now the day before Thanksgiving, there might be a longer ship time than normal. If that were the case, I'd be predicting December 15. But I dismissed it at first; your report has unfortunately brought that back into consideration.

But I shall hold fast! December 8; I will it to be!

Also, what the heck, Ghosts? Seriously? Seriously?
