I should probably finish Snubfighter so disgruntled X-Wing fans buy it!

    Back cover text:
    Look, I wrote these rules because the main goal of big-name minis games seems to be to get you to buy boosters and accessories. Then when that runs dry to do a second edition and do it all over again. I barely have time to write anything, so there’s never going to be another product for this let alone a second edition.

    Yeah it's pretty transparent. I was going to say that the game just came out but apparently it came out in 2012. FFG gonna FFG, I guess.

    I mean, most of the changes to it seem okay, it’s just that the conversion kits should be cheap. I don’t know, my only experience playing it is with a few booster ships and the core set. Trying to play it at a tournament is absolutely an exercise in frustration, though.

    This seems lame as well.

    The Force is a crucial part of the Star Wars galaxy that has historically played a smaller role in the game of X-Wing. With the release of X-Wing Second Edition, we have the chance to implement the Force as an important part of the game, affecting how you fly your ships and the choices that you make in the heat of battle.

    So I’m guessing using the Force lets you roll an extra die or reroll a result or something.

    I think it might have their own powers now. Still, they should have just given pilots their own powers instead of it being a separate thing.

    Are the rule books expensive? I assume they make money selling minis, right?

This is my gaming circle minus my ACKS players. I am such an asshole. Since they're in the big city now, the players really wanted to know if there were any magic weapons for sale. ACKS ain't 3e or 4e though. There is exactly one magic weapon for sale. I rolled randomly to see what it was and... ...it's a cursed -2 sword. So I told the players there's a weapons dealer/fence who's looking to get rid of a magic sword he's gotten ahold of...cheap. Only 6,000gp when usually a +1 item would be 10,000gp. So far they are not suspicious. They're going to be so pissed at me. I can barely contain my excitement.
