Slightly off topic, but I've been playing around with an idea of writing a huge campaign that follows a war across several worlds, like a singel sector campaign or something. There would be a main campaign following the central conflict, but every time the campaign log calls for a Side Mission the heroes would sprint off for a mini-campaign in a different theatre (i.e. world/environment/expansion boxes); each "side mission" theatre would have a separate, localised plotline, the resolution of which would impact the main war in some way (i.e. new allies won or other bonuses gained by the victor).

Now, this is only at the dreaming stage right now, (queueing up behind dozens of other projects), and such a campaign would command a scale that might not be feasible to pull off, but MAN would it be cool if it worked

I am also writing a 'campaign' inspired by the basic premise of what HoTE alluded to so far, but with a spin. It's intented for a three-day tabletop convention in a few months, so I'm keeping it small and relatively simple. It'll be more of a series of two-player and multi-player skirmishes with pre-set teams and characters which I will all (and in some cases already have) paint. My angle is to not only look at the campaign from a purely strategical, tactical and logistical point of view, but to also tell a a story that revolves around the characters, because they are at the heart of everything that Star Wars is about, and it also helps to get players involved in the game beyond it being a mere tactical challenge. I will also create a few scenario- and campaign-specific command cards for the main protagonists and antagonists.

When do we get the announcement for what's coming next?

So maybe this has been said already, I just scanned to try to catch up but....the Upcoming section lists the US release date as 12 Oct 2017 for HotE. So I'd expect the next wave announcement shortly there after. Maybe friday?!

Well, there should be an "In Stores Now" article on Thursday.

Getting another article on Friday?

What do you think this game is?! SW Destiny?!

It's arkham nights this weekend which is why there have been lots of cthulhu articles. Unless we are getting a cthulhu pack for IA it's safe to say there will be no news this week.

Rathtars, or Bor Gullet?

I posted this last week, but in case some didn't see:

Looking at everything since the start of 2016, seems like we generally have unreleased waves either overlapping or at least near each other.

Bolded dates have stuff in overlap on the pipeline

Wave 4 released- 2/18/16

15 Days of downtime

The Bespin Gambit Announced- 03/04/2016

Wave 7 Announced- 5/11/16

Bespin released- 5/26/16 (15 days of overlap)

Wave 7 Available- 7/14

22 Days of downtime

Jabba's Realm Announced- 8/05/16

Jabba's Realm Released 12/29/16

15 Days of downtime

Droids Announced- 1/13/17

HoTE Announced- 5/05/17

Droids Released- 5/11/17 (6 days of overlap)

HotE Released- 10/12/17

So, despite the slowed release cycle, we've barely gone over three weeks since 2015 without having at least something coming down the pipeline.

Of course, we could deviate from that now, but it's exciting that if the past is any indication, we'll hear about our next wave sometime this month.

Also, just throwing this out there- if we're getting anything around Christmas, I'd expect an announcement ASAP. Less than three months is a pretty short release cycle, even for a blister wave.

I'm optimistic (perhaps foolishly so) that we'll get some new announcement in a month's time at most.

Hmmm, it's ALWAYS Friday here.

You meant groundhog day ... ok where's Bill Murray?

So honestly, I don't really care all that much, but anyone think it was kinda weird that we only got an "In Stores Now" for the ally/villain packs and not the boxed expansion? I mean, I know that the box is out, just thought it was funny it didn't get its own announcement (or even much of a shoutout in the packs one).

It is weird, but according to the History of Past Releases thread The Bespin Gambit release article came out a week after the release date, so if it's just late then it's not the first time.

Next spoiler will be box art featuring a male character being heroic.

Oh look, they found a new way to package Destiny.

And they said it couldn't be done!

I have hope that our Christmas release is the app, they are working diligently and that is why all is quiet with the staggered release schedule!!

ITS HAPPENING PEOPLE!!!!

At least we already have Obi Wan- today's LCG news didn't initially get my hopes up like so many others.

edit: Unrelated, but Solo: A Star Wars Story's title has been officially revealed! Can't wait to see all of the cool stuff it too could inspire in IA.

Probably won't be for a long while. Have we even seen anything inspired by Rogue One in IA yet?

However: Every other SW game in the FFG line-up has gotten R1 stuff so they'll probably get Solo stuff before IA gets R1 stuff:)

Oh totally, I think it'll definitely be a while. I do expect Mercs to get a wealth of ideas from it, though.

But yeah, I also think we're due for some Rogue One stuff by the next wave, even if it's a single blister. A year out from the movie fits in pretty well with their release schedule.

Death troopers (Imps) and a Gigoran (Mercs) please. Plus Cassian and K2 (rebels)

Just now, VadersMarchKazoo said:

I'm still holding out for a large base Gigoran hero. I'd be way into that.

I don't think this is how Descent handled it but I would like it if the App was sold as an accompaniment to box expansions. This way you could have have Rogue one themed app, etc. This would allow the new (app based) campaign to feature new figures in the story missions.

I know we just got HOTE last week but seeing all these other Star Wars games getting news articles this week is still a little frustrating!!

Haha, I know what you mean. I feel like a brat wanting a new announcement given how recently we got HotE (which is a fantastic expansion, by the way, possibly my favorite so far), but at the same time we haven't really had any new product announced since early May. I just enjoy having stuff to look forward to.

It' friday (in Australia)! Wh ...

Since Destiny & X-Wing got FAQ updates, I'm hoping we'll see an IA one.
