Legend of 5 rings 9
runewars 8
SW RPG 7

Arkham Horror CG 4
destiny 4
GoT CG 4

Wasn't X-wing FFG's biggest game?

I'm guessing this is because gfh is shipping to flgs?

Biggest? Perhaps. Newest to sell? No. That's... Legend of the 5 Rings. Followed by runewars. With Netrunner upcoming.

Let's face it: these articles are all about "Let's build hype so people buy new stuff." FFG rarely caters to their existing customers in a game. The coverage will decay and decay. And that is very sad, since it leaves me wondering about how sustainable these games are.

For example: I love Armada, and play it, but I wouldn't reccomend it to a stranger who does not have a fixed playgroup for it, since he will probably never find one. And this is becoming more and more true for Xwing as well sadly.

Come to think of it, it's really sad. FFG had/has a great game and made all the right moves to reach the top of wargaming. And now it's all in decay because they shifted their focus elsewhere... and guess what? 40k is making a comeback. A pretty major one. And how? By doing community work and actually fixing long-standing balance issues. It really is bizzarro-world right now - GW doing all the right moves, FFG... doing none.

It's really amazing the change GW made- 8th Edition is incredible. X-Wing Devs just don't care- too busy pushing OP Scum crap to notice that the balance of their game went down the crapper. From the JM5K to the Scurrg- the devs have done nothing but ruin this game.

It's too bad that it takes a mountain of money (not to mention painting skill and time) to start even one decent army. I always liked the 40k universe. Just can't shell out the kind of capital needed to keep up with it.

Yeah I totally agree with that. I was a long time 40k player but got out because the balance was dog crap. I haven't gotten back into it, but MAN, did they fix things. If FFG wanted to they could fix X-Wing, 40k is proof.

2-3 down. We know 1 system, the Q4 kit, and there are rumors of an Oct 27th GfH release.

We got regionals schedule. We got the 4th quarter kit info. We got guns for hire street date. Now give us the FAQ and the system open schedule so this thread can die!!

come on FFG! Where is that system open schedule?!

will this ever happen?!?!?!?!?

Only if you ask again next Friday too.

But yeah, it's frustrating.
