It actually IS the year of Black Sun! (clickbait)

By Echoseven, in X-Wing

Decades in the making and FFG knew all along! No wonder the faction of Black Sun has ascended to the peak of power this year, its Witchcraft!

August 21, 2017, total solar eclipse!

(also know as a Black Sun)

The first total solar eclipse in the continental US in 38 years.
To learn more about this upcoming natural phenomenon (and possibly discover the secretes of FFGs precognitive powers!) try the link to the story below.

Enjoy the black darkness of your reign while it lasts scummers, eventually the light (and balance) must return :lol:

To be fair, you don't need any precognition to know this was a year of the Total Solar Eclipse in the US... In fact, good ol' fashion scientific prediction has the dates set for all the US-visible total solar eclipses of the next century, all the way out to one in May of 2097. That's sort of the opposite of precognition... ;)

And I will be enjoying both. A little XWM at GenCon, followed by a road trip further south to catch the eclipse :)

Lol, true, true.

Everything is proceeding as FFG (and anyone who pays attention to scientific prediction) has foreseen.. (cackle, cackle, evil laugh..)

I'm in the STL area so I'm right on the edge of the night for this one!

You lucky dog. I've been planning to visit some relatives on the north side of KC on that day to see the event. It's only going to be a long road trip.

I remember this happening as a kid in the 80s living in Colorado .. would be cool to be playing a game of x.wing at the time of the event ... there's a lot of news hype every so often about this, recently it was about a college renting rooms at that time

Ok so down here in Alabama i will drink a beer and watch nascar with maybe nightvision :p.

You wouldn't play much X-Wing under totality and I'd say there are better things to watch at the time.

But will it be a total eclipse of the heart?

Maybe, if it moves Faster than the Speed of Night and ol Bonnie whips out her original cross guard head light saber...;)

(If you Photoshop the earnings out and added an imperial cog to that slightly militaristic high collar, maybe add some rank bars to the shirt, Bonnie would actually make a decent alt art countess Rayd)
