Our contest this week is a Boshek list. Kelvan is trying a new obsession out, help him break it! Submit your list to [email protected]

Dang, I never sent in my draft format did I? I think it’s still chilling in my email drafts lol.

Adam was great! He has a great voice for this sort of thing. You should make him a regular. And I’m not kidding about that. He really seems like he would be a positive addition.

Havent finished yet, but @Kelvan I can’t lie, I died a little inside when you were going off about the Silencer combining the tech and systems slot upgrades as if it was something new! There are already ships that have both slots- The Upsilon shuttle and the Tie SF both do.

But its ok. Just about every xwing podcast has at least 1 or 2 cringe moments nowadays lol.

That was an enjoyable listen. As for the meta question (I've been playing since wave 3); wave 7 was the last time there was a reasonable balance between jousters, turrets and arc dodgers. It was also the last time the game was good. Getting back to a balance between those pillars and high and low ps, two points raised independently, is the key to making x-wing a healthy game again.

My life is a a long string of new and interesting cringe worthy moments. My only goal is to laugh at them more.

Good catch. K Dub THA GOD!

On the topic of the TIE Silencer. X-wing really needed a small, medium, and Large base designation. Having only the small and large base has been a little silly for all those transitory ships (IG88, K-wing, Punisher, U-wing, Arc-170, etc).

Also I feel you pain @Kdubb. My variant draft is sitting in my email draftbox too

That does seem like the appropriate place to store it.

Indeed. The outbox would have been better though.

A drinking variant sounds fun, however I can barely move ships without knocking things over, whilst sober. Adding drinking to the mix wouldn't help that issue.

This. I think the cut off needs to be 9 hit points though, because you don't want to turn B-Wings and Y-Wings any more then they already are.

The Scurgg and K-Wings are definitely medium sized.

At first, I thought you were blatantly being rude, and then I realized...

draft....

aaaaah. I see what you did there.

On the topic of Ryan Krippendorf, dude doesn't have the misfortune of playing in the same game store as nathan and i, we have the the fortune of playing in the same store as him, Ryan taught Nathan and I **** near everything we know. Dude's a legend

Guess I should have submitted the Drunk Palpatine format:

Normal 100/6 game; Palpatine is banned.

Once per round after rolling dice, each player may take a shot to change one die to any result.

Yeah I didn’t mean that in a negative way - only in that you two got really strong learning from him. The students have become the Master!

Ryan is amazing. I remember meeting him at the first worlds I went to in 2013?
