SCPT Interview: Arcs Beyond the Reach Designers Cole Wehrle and Josh Yearsley

Arcs is back baby! This week I've got Cole and Josh of Buried Giant Studios on to talk about the future of the best space opera competitive strategy game that isn't called Twilight Imperium. They've really out done themselves with the promise of new leaders, new fates, a new draft system reminiscent of the advanced setup rules for Root and perhaps even secret conversations. It's a new dawn for Arcs and I'm excited to see how it develops.

449: The Firmament/Obsidian Beginner's Guide

This week we finally reach the end of our first pass on everything new included in the Thunder's Edge expansion! Only about six months to talk about everything. We've been very specific about it to, I think we've saved the best for last. The Firmament is far from the greatest faction but I think what they bring to the table is so fresh that it's just too exciting to ignore. So sit down with Me and Blasto as we wax poetic on what works and what doesn't and remember to keep an open mind, there was a time that factions like Arborec and Yin were considered bad and then as our understanding evolves we realize that they aren't bad, they're just mid. Maybe that will be the case here!

448: Twilight's Fall Genomes and Paradigms Overview

Our final component overview episode for Twilight's Fall! From here on out it's gonna get weirder and more specific so study up this week with Hunter and Blasto as they sit down again for another absolute barn burner of an overview. Every single Genome and Paradigm is spoken aloud into our microphones. I hope you have been following along with the Twilight's Fall episodes because going forward we're going to be changing how we cover this stuff and it's going to get more specific and complicated. This will all be on the test!

446: Saint of Swords and Sickening Lurch Beginner's Guide

We're closing up our initial look at the Thunder's Edge expansion with our first look at the final two Mahact Kings. Hunter and Alec saved two very solid options for last as the Saint of Swords can hit like a truck full of swords and Lurch is just the most interesting option if you like playing underdog factions that have extremely unique options available to them. Very excited to get into our next era of Twilight's Fall coverage!
