Shuttle Tydirium Episode 49: Gencon Round 1 Sneak Peek

By heychadwick, in X-Wing

Great episode guys!

I agree completely with Capitan Chadwick, Pale Ales (hoppy beers) are the bane of most brewery's and absolutely kill variety as they are everywhere. Makes me quite "put out." I enjoy fuller, deep amber to dark beers with smooth complex flavors. If you're gonna have a dozen taps, please, have at least 3 of the twelve be ones you can't see through!

Jim is starting a spin-off podcast focused on complaining about beer availability, you may be interested

Yes. Definitely.

...btw, J-Bot needs to amend his beer to label as Phantom Ale; although salty and the tie-in is obvious (pardon the pun), it's in no way the correct beer. It should, hands down, be an Imperial dark Ale, as when she's cloaked, all you can see is a darker spot in the darkness of space. I would say an Imperial Stout, but that fits Vader better.

Your podcast is truly the mothership of casual X-Wing, which is the bread and butter of this game.

Cheers!

Ok so question here CC. I love the ACR-170, how would I build a list using one, maybe two of them since they have no generic pilots? Just wondering.... Sounds like a lot of fun. When are the scenario's going to be run??? I will be working at a booth most days but might be able to get away? Oh second question just popped into my head, on the K-wings I'm assuming that if I built around them I would have to start off with either Warden or Guardian Squadron pilots?

You are correct with the Warden or Guardian pilots.

We are going to cover that when we have final details. We will provide generic pilots for those ships that you can take. Same for IG-88.

Cool thanks.

So what day(s)/what time(s) are you guys thinking of running these? I'm really interested in playing.

Saturday for one 14 hour event! We have a few smaller stuff going on before that. Mario Kart, Trench Run, and ISD scenario.

For the ARC-170s, the generic ship you need for the unique pilots are actually specifically tied to the thematic origins of each of those pilots. Each pilot we got for ARC-170s was known to fly specific other ships that we do have available. It was really fun to set these up. Here's the breakdown of generic ships you need to have in order to draft or upgrade into ARC pilots:

Braylen Stramm: B-wing

Thane Kyrell: X-wing

Shara Bey: A-wing

Nora Wexley: Y-wing

Cool thanks for the Heads up Babganoosh, I do have all of the ships and pilots you listed for me... :)

Good luck in the draft, if you can make it!

Cool I will try and make it, if not when are you running the smaller stuff same day??

Smaller stuff will be throughout the weekend. We have events every day of Gen Con. Sat is devoted to the Narrative.

I am not running anything on Sunday, but Phil is.
