This week it's a full panel with Hunter, JadiimJedi, and Blasto sitting down for a full on SCPT Ranking episode! We go in depth the hot takes you crave and there is even some decent information for beginner's that might be missing some of the finer details. Like all of our ranking episodes I'd like you to make sure to take it all super serious and if you disagree please tell everyone you know. See you in Florida this weekend!

446: Saint of Swords and Sickening Lurch Beginner's Guide
Wednesday Mar 04, 2026
Wednesday Mar 04, 2026
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!

443: Coexistence Overview and Rules Questions! (WITH ANSWERS)
Wednesday Feb 11, 2026
Wednesday Feb 11, 2026
You've got questions, we've got answers. This week we've got Andcat back on the show and he has convened with a secret cabal of Rules Lawyers in order to dig deep on one of the big new rules concepts that you need to know in advance of the next big faction guide! This is a weird nitty gritty episode but I feel like it's fascinating if you wanna jump into the muck of new interactions that frequently come up. Consider this episode a preview of the hotly anticipated living rules reference update!

Wednesday Feb 04, 2026
Wednesday Feb 04, 2026
Hunter and Alec are back on the case! Taking on the next two Mahact kings is quite the roller coaster today. Il Na Viroset is a real star of the new mode and I feel confident you'll really dig them but El Nen Janovet is a whole other story....

I'm so excited to talk about this faction. Last Bastion is exactly the kind of faction that I love to champion! They're kinda bad but also extremely good given certain situations and contexts, in this episode Hunter and JadiimJedi are gonna dig right into those exact situations. They're the good guys!

This week we've got Alec back in the chair NOT talking about Twilight's Fall stuff, instead it's time to put on our cartography glasses and dig deep on all of the beautiful new hexagons Santa gave us! We also spend a bit in the beginning discussing Leonardo DiCraprio so don't get spooked by that.

438: 2026 Premiere (Featuring EJ Sanders and the Galactic Census Results)
Wednesday Jan 07, 2026
Wednesday Jan 07, 2026
Welcome to 2026! This week we've got a business episode with EJ Sanders as our guest so you can expect some silly stuff. We talk about a lot of our goals for SCPT this year and some of our future events before digging into the results of the first annual GALACTIC CENSUS. This is a new feature of the patreon I'll do at the end of every year where we poll the audience on favorite faction, favorite way to play, and favorite moments from the year in Twilight Imperium. Think of it as a community year in review. After the ad Break stay tuned for Hunter as he breaks down this year's changes to the Patreon structure and tier features.
