When the game was young we started amassing ships because X wings and A wings etc were simply amazing.

When you start playing D&D Mages are cool, Fighters with 2 handed swords impressive and Clerics are superb...they can cast "Raise Dead". After some megatons of book you rarely see a "naked" basic character on the tables. Kensai, Cavaliers, Blood Mages...

Then one day a friend who migrated far far away returns during his holidays... Wow you play D&D like I did 20 years ago. Lets see...where are the Rogues? And the front line Tank? What means "Half Golem Beastmaster"? Where is my game dudes?

Perhaps the same here. After so many waves not only so many options....Tier 1,2,3 options.

But one day Pathfinder hit the shelves. D&D 2.0. Same feeling but another style. They did the "classic" stuff grest again. So I hope in a future we will see X Wing 2.0 because this is a money maker machine. A plea to those who own X wing. Nothing wrong playing H 6 Minemapping and J5Ks... But for some players nothing compares to a trio of X Wings engaging the enemy.

Pew pew pew.

Till that day...Adapt and Improve if you are a Casual Game. Some players enjoy B Wings and Dagger armed Rogues. Others are exciting exploring new ways to enjoy with Wookie ship and Forged Champons with Mercurial Swords.

Man, I love this games. When a game is so good and so popular...this happens.

RP? You need some Tiny Dungeon in your life. Pathfinder is better than anything 4.0 or older. 5e is good, but not good enough to get me to leave Pathfinder completely.

Casual X-wing? You need to lay some ground rules with your friends. I sold all my Scum and banned it from my table. Eventually I'll lay down some custom rules to fix Scum if FFG never works up the courage to fix it themselves. (They won't, so I guess it's on me.)

Speaking of Role Playing and X-wing. I (like many nerds) have been developing my own X-wing RPG. There are some good home-brews out there.

This is the spirit of the game. May the spirit prevail in the hearts of players over corrupting forces of power creep and Scum favoritism. Fly casual.

A man after my own heart.
