Even more actual content? Chris Allen, Travis Johnson, and Tyler Barnett follow up from Listener One. What would happen if you nerfed mindlink or jumpmasters out of the game? Who knows! Then we talk about upgrades, ships, and pilots that limit future game design across the factions. How have other games dealt with these cards that prevent new things from being released? We walk through other games and formats to get an idea of where X-Wing might be headed in the future.

Listener Two: A Paul Heaver Story Apr 12, 2017

Show notes

More actual content?!?! Chris Allen and our one listener Travis Johnson get a chance to have a discussion with some guy named Paul Heaver to talk about the future design and format for X-Wing! We talk to Paul about potential rotations and design restraints, and about the game in general! And the real question, does Paul think bombs are OK?

Listener One: A Carolina KRAYTS Story Mar 20, 2017

Show notes

Actual content?!?! Chris Allen and our one listener Travis Johnson sit down and talk about where the meta is going after the large FAQ change. We talk about the pros and cons of erratas, and what we might expect in the future based on what we've seen previously in X-Wing and other games. Speaking of the effects of the FAQ, what's going to keep mindlink boats in check? Does anything?
