The REAL loser in 2.0 is R5-D8!

By IndyPendant, in X-Wing

Players who start with 2.0 will have to have the joke in his name explained to them!*

*In great detail, while they stare blankly. Until they slowly back away. ; )

Well, go ahead and explain it. I'm in the dark. A quick google says this is Porkins droid but that's as far as I got.

In 1.0, you roll a die (D8) and have a 5 in 8 chance to repair a facedown damage card (R5)

I was promised a joke. I demand a joke, not some random facts which correlate intentional with the name of the droid. Imagine if he would have been R8-D8, he would have been actually okish.

The joke is his name is his odds

Surely that is a factual name rather than a joke? o.0

It’s just a funny coincidence

I would argue that it's not particular funny either and that it was most likely intentional. Someone tried to hard to make a clever "pun" between the name of the droid and it's mechanics and it turned out ... awkward.

Who doesn't want a range 5 date?

... Wouldn't a range 0 date be better...?

But R5 is only in epic games and an epic date at long distance it probably better than a range zero date with just yourself.
