Here we go. X-wing version 2.0 was announced this week and we weren't willing to wait until our next recording night to talk about it, so we jumped onto Skype to get some initial thoughts together. Join us for a quick dive into what X-wing 2.0 will mean conversion kits can you still use your current models (yes, you can) changes to cards and mechanics semi-digitisation of resources other stuff We've probably left some things out because we were pretty excited but hopefully this will be helpful for you in some way until our next official recording.   https://www.fantasyflightgames.com/en/news/2018/5/1/x-wing-second-edition/

Ladies, gentlemen, decent people who don't believe in swearing, welcome to **** of a Pilot episode 31. In light of the responses we got in a recent Facebook poll, we've made a slightly more critical episode than we usually would (but it's balanced nicely and still very 'us'). Join us as we cover: aspects of the game that bother us what the game should be why Harpoons are fine (wait, is that right?) what is a negative play experience? a lore section about the Illuminati Stay until the end to learn how you can win a prize in a little competition we're having. Also, yet again, this episode was recorded right before the release of an article that would have provided much better content.

There has been an awakening in the Star Wars gaming community. You have felt it. In the thirtieth episode of our show we decided to have a look at Legion. To keep it relevant to an X-wing podcast, the discussion is partly a compare/contrast kind of thing, but there's a good amount of chat about the game itself and why it's so popular at the moment. Whether you're getting into the game or not you should be able to get something from the discussion that we have with our wonderful guest star, Charles from Star wars Tabletop Gaming (https://www.facebook.com/SWTabletopGaming). For our lore section, rather han a single pilot, you get a lesson on wookiees: what is a wookiee, how do they live, and how did they become slaves of the Empire? But, the really, REALLY special part: stay tuned after the end of the regular show for the first episode of an original Star Wars audio drama written by our new best friend Jack Murray, performed by Jack & Hell of a Pilot and fantastically filled with music and sound effects by our own Owen Cross. It's pretty darn amazing. Finally, if you could find it in your hearts to vote for us in the Gold Squadron Goldie Awards, we would be incredibly grateful. It's a real treat just to be nominated, but let's do this for Australia. Voting at the link: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSdhB3p_aGps3xbI3k44vmx2JoTEkQ-jO3HqypcjSHOylFTtVw/viewform

What's this? A chocolatey and delicious new episode just in time for Easter? Yes. It is that. If you're still with us after what happened last time, strap in and enjoy some of the highest quality filler content we could make in the absence of X-wing news during the build up to Legion's release. FFG is staying pretty quiet about X-wing lately, but we're not just going to sit here quietly.  Episode 29 is inspired by Saw's Renegades, a pack attempting to breathe new life into two ships that are already available in the game. In that spirit, we decided to analyse some of our favourite old ships, explain why, in our opinion, those ships aren't flown nowadays, and then suggest ways those ships could be restored to glory. In our famous lore section, learn all about Carnor Jax, an ex Imperial Royal Guard who held the galaxy in his grip after the death of Emperor Palpatine. It's all here: duty, zeal, betrayal, murder, and the brutal life of training to be one of the Emperor's personal guards.

Ladies, gentlemen and holograms of Emperor Palpatine, welcome to the re-release of episode 28. Our small technical difficulties have been sorted out, and now we present the final version of our latest episode for your enjoyment. Thank you to everyone who messaged us about the problem. In this episode, we: briefly touch on the latest season prize kit talk about Rebels without context to X-wing Miniatures at all (spoilers) cover Fenn Rau in our lore section We hope you enjoy this episode as much as you enjoy the FFG article that is no doubt on its way.
