I was particularly enamored w/ a design identity for Kylo Ren that I called the "final boss:" he would discard upgrades early in the game, then when the game was at its climax he would enter play with all those upgrades & you had to defeat Kylo to win. He turned out better than I imagined! #FFGStaff

Intro: Battle Hoth is overcosted, but is it as bad as TWI?

Can Ned escape a casino?

Which one of us cheated at Galactics?! (It's @rybackstun.bsky.social's fault)

Episode 40 of The Force Unlimited is up. (Wherever fine podcasts are sold.) #yaswup #StarWarsUnlimited

Bottom-up upgrades can sometimes be challenging. When they're common, it's easier because there's a limit to how complex they can be. But otherwise, how to make it interesting and exciting? In this case, we identified a draft need (card selection) and used that to build the Star Compass #FFGStaff

Spicy take, but this was the GOAT cover of D&D, maybe all RPGs.

I donโ€™t have a lot of love for 3.X (my heydays were AD&D and 4E), but this cover was such a promise. The eyeball on the MM, all of it. Best in class.

Is this our first set without an abstract design sleeve? I hope @gamegenic.com keeps at least some of the abstract sleeves in print, as I love in-brand sleeves but not necessarily art ones. #StarWarsUnlimited

The vision for the Force mechanic in this set was that it would be trait-based on the common default bases, but that the rare bases would offer opt-in non-trait variants. We iterated on them a LOT to try to find options that wouldn't be too easy to attain but would also be fun to build for #FFGStaff

We talk about some new showcases and serial cards. The meta looks like it's gonna stick around without Force Throw being banned. Finally, we share some tips on reading your opponent and other ways to improve your game by understanding body language.

As a player, Iโ€™ll play almost anything. I love all kinds of games, from cozy rules-light to narrative mysteries to tactical combat.

Because if the owl path is the only path, I'll assemble that team. I'm going to make this happen. But I'd rather learn from someone who knows what they're doing than learn by repeatedly failing loudly and publicly.

Starting a short stint of putting this out into the world: I've been consistently making long-form mediocre video content for almost two years.

How do I get on a #TTRPG AP? Is there any path to manifesting that wish that's less than "draw the rest of the owl"?

We always wanted Cal to be an exhaust leader, since his signature power is Force Slow. But finding ways to do that fairly was difficultโ€”even our "prevent a unit from readying" version felt oppressive. It seemed like a pretty big nerf to allow the opponent to pick, but every exhaust matters #FFGStaff

I was at the beach until last night so no new Force Unlimited episode until next week.

Ned and I talking about Galactics two weeks after itโ€™s over should not surprise Dear Listeners. #yaswup #StarWarsUnlimited
