Article Predictions. Mostly General Discussion. But there's definately some Predictions scattered throughout.

Everyone calm down! The new Sid Meier’s Civilization article is up!

I gotta admit, it looks pretty sweet. Mind, that's hardly strange for a FFG board game

I have the Sid Meier’s Civilization board game on my Xmas list. It's supposed to be released soon. @Santa

Legion's accessories and expansions (sans the two Heavies) have hit the printer.

Anyone remember Runewar's printer-boat-release timings before I go trawl their forums for from last year?

Not exactly. But the first wave went pretty quickly by I know that.

Oh look. Another L5R article about LORE of all things.

Okay, so when are they just going to print a LotFR novel and get it over with already?

Runewars Novels would have to come first.

They've already got Android out of the way, so then Runewars (their own complete IP), and then L5R.

Update:

RWM hit the printer on December 2nd, and released ~19 weeks later, on April 13th.

The same timeframe would put a Legion release in the last week of January, or first week of February.

FFG would have to put out around an article per week starting this week to match RWM's count, though - RWM had 5 game mechanic previews, and 1 per unit expansion (of which Legion has 6 announced). That's ignoring product announcement and organized play articles, for obvious reasons.

If I was an L5R player, I'd be all about that.

With FFG owning the IP and bundling a card game, a board game, and an RPG (and whatever else in the future) together in the setting, it'd be irresponsible not to release lore articles! I fully support them in this endeavor albeit not with my money.

I’ve heard a more than a few people say that the Terrinoth Universe was too dry. Some even suggested that it was a big reason for Rune Wars Miniatures Sales Slump.

A nice rich Lore Infusion could do that IP some good.

I have no problem with them expanding Lore; I just whish they would attach it to a product. A novel, a reference book, even a comic. I don’t much care for Lore Articles.

Can confirm, am super hyped for the RPG, just don't go into the open beta forums, they're worse than the X-Wing forums.

Game mat for some game called Twiight Imperium.

No! We just got an article... for the X-wing wave... that was announced after Armada... It's Star Wars though!

Nah, the Resistance Bomber contents were fully leaked, and FFG's usual response to full leaks is to release an article on it.

Xwing article

Can do, I’ve been meaning to get up to Canada for too long now... How close are you to Almo, BC? There’s a festival there I’ve been wanting to go to for almost 8 years, and next year might finally be the one

If you mean Shambhala in Salmo, then you're nestled in the Rockies... You'd have to finish crossing them to get to Calgary - but you would be literally halfway between Vancouver BC and Calgary AB.

In fact, you're closer to Calgary than Vancouver, by about an Hour and a Half...

In the very least, postage from there would be cheap, as its no longer international... We'll see if we remember closer to the time and if I can make it worth the while :)

I do indeed mean Shambhala. I’ve been dying to go it looks like new absolute blast. If I end up making it I’ll definitly hit you up to send em to you
