Honestly I haven't listed to the other ones, I just found that one pretty helpful in getting in the tournament mindset and how to select a list. SPOILER: Just pick something meta unless you have some secret list that is meta shaping like Dengaroo.

Ok, I was on that cast so I should be good to go ;).

While you all are having fun theorycrafting 2.0 I'm here trying to choose what to bring to our 1.0 national in september...

U.S. Nationals is also 1.0 in September. My first tournament win was with Chiraneau/Whisper. My last 1.0 event will be Chiraneau/Whisper. If it does well, great. If it doesn’t, great, I’ll be done with 1.0 even faster!

I think we should rename this thread to Carolina Krayts is the best podcast where Zack and Travis eat at you whilst playing L5R as Chris looks something up.

I don't play X-Wing any more, I now spend my time trying to find the podcast gold in each episode!

Uh...if you're bringing that to US Nationals,...er...enjoy your early release to freedom!

I wanted to meme something in 1.0 with a ton of stress as a way to go out after I got a bunch of krayt stress tokens at worlds, but my desire not to play 1.0 anymore won out

He could face two ship lists all day.

Man, I wish I had time for L5R. I love the game, just hard to get games in and I am 6 months behind on the game.

Do we have an idea of expected amount of players? I can’t help but feel it will be a much smaller turn out than most national events...

I guess that's true. He could hit Nym/Miranda and Rey/Low type stuff. But if he gets a pile of X-Wings and/or Reapers....oooh, boy.

As far as I know, it is full with two 128 player day 1s. Decently sized, but smaller than most Euro events.

Isn't nationals giving out Kylo and not Vader? I thought Vader was for Continentals, and not Nationals.

Yeah it is Kylo for the top 64. I imagine participants would get the system open titles. Would be cool if they threw in Vader though. But it's FFG OP... Who knows what prizes they'll have. I'm pretty sure Jeremy Howard hasn't gotten his 2018 stuff from the CA Nationals.

Jesus, there's not even participation?

Man, I'm screwing someone and myself for not reason :(

There is probably some participation from other large event kits. Did they have participation last year? It's the same official structure as last year, so if they had participation last year I would expect the same this year.

I have at least three stores that do regular tourneys - alas dad life means I get one competitive hobby and Star Wars has claimed my soul for decades.

Actual Content? + Quiet REEE sound in the background

Good stuff.
