Lit Fantasy Flight Games and the Star Wars TCG

Hey, FFG comes out of gate with two regional guides that had never been covered before, so maybe!

Edit: Tion Cluster SB first, though.

 

"Inbreeding for dummies" is supposed to be released right before Christmas, so you don't have to wait long.

I doubt Thrawn would ever sit that relaxed in his Admiral's chair.

 

*suddenly has a mental image of Thrawn slouching in his command chair, wearing only a white t-shirt (with epaulets and GA rank insignia) and briefs, eating a bag of Cheetos*

 

Chips not Cheetos. Because he can go "I shall take a potato chip. And EAT IT."

"No, I didn't see you playing with your dolls again."

 

The artist actually quote that scean on her page

 

Haha! I love the ysalamir's puzzled look at the end

 

Wave V Is Now Available (click for full article)

Fly at full throttle. Blast through asteroids and debris fields. Pummel your foes with big guns. The fifth wave of X-Wing™starship expansions has arrived!
Now available at retailers everywhere, X-Wing Wave V consists of the Rebel YT-2400 Freighter Expansion Pack and the Imperial VT-49 Decimator Expansion Pack.

A New Imperial Tactic
In several ways, the VT-49 Decimator flies in the face of standard Imperial tactics. It is the first Imperial starship to feature a turret weapon capable of firing in a full 360-degree arc, and where most Imperial starships feature little or no shielding, but demand that their pilots make good use of their tremendous agility, the Decimator has absolutely zero agility. Instead, it features a whopping four shields and twelve hull.
Naturally, the result of such a unique ship design is the potential for unique, new squadron designs, and the introduction of the VT-49 Decimator may single-handedly herald the introduction of a new Imperial archetype.





Fly Where You Want
The YT-2400 is a remarkable addition to X-Wing and the Rebel fleet for two key reasons:

• It’s the game’s first large-base ship to feature the barrel roll action.
• When equipped with the Outrider Title, the YT-2400 can wield a turret-mounted cannon, but then it becomes the first starship that cannot perform attacks with its primary weapon.

 

New update: Best of the Best - The Specializations, Species, and Signature Abilities of Stay on Target (http://www.fantasyflightgames.com/edge_news.asp?eidn=5231)

This one looks like great fun for fans of the underused species department. I am particularly intrigued by this one Xexto pilot...


...yet another woefully underused species. Nice to see one behind the controls of something other than a podracer.

 

Neat. I wonder what that fighter on the cover is.

 

NTB-630 naval bomber, although the flight in atmosphere makes a PTB-625 planetary bomber more likely.

 

A lot of ships can fly in atmosphere though - even the Imperial-class Star Destroyer can.

Two new rather intresting kajidic get mentioned

“Qunaalac is a heavily armed kajidic. It is a major defender of Hutt space, especially around the secretive Hutt throneworlds in the Bootana Hutta. It retains more of the Hutts’ ancient militaristic past traditions compared to other kajidics. Hutt military fleets are usually ad-hoc affairs reliant on current alliances and multiple agendas, like any other Hutt operation. So the Qunaalac Hutts aren’t entirely military,
but it is their strength.

“While Qunaalac operates mostly within Hutt Space, Gorensla Hutts are galactic black marketeers. They operate in the shadows, secretly owning and controlling ports, hyperspace smuggling routes, and more. Their front organizations influence entire economies. They rig laws to legalize their activities. They play and profit from all sides in wartime. Gorensla even sells to the Rebels, but are careful to conceal that fact from both sides of the Galactic Civil War.”

Also it apparently comes with a guide on playing a Hutt including untypical ones, like Rebels or Philanthropists.

 

Its the GFFA-version of the Lincoln-Memorial at Monument Plaza, depicting Chancellor Blotus.

 

I love how Captain Kirk is just sort of chilling there in front, paying his respects. Upholding the Prime Directive in front of such preeminent portliness.

 

This reminds me of that weird supine Hutt mechanic from Empress Teta in the earliest TotJ comics. He sort of slid around on a repulsor with his tail out in front of him, almost like he could slide under speeders and work on them that way. I wonder if we'll see any depictions of physiologically-different Hutts in this book; I prefer the idea that they're not particularly well-evolved and have a variety of shapes---also making some more viable as PCs than others.

EDIT: This guy!

 

I'm going out on a limb and saying that gif was not following the announcement of a howdown.

 

He is the shop owner, I am pretty sure he supervises

Evolution was pretty kind to them considering what natural abilities they have.

Pretty sure they just suggest different age brackets and technical aid for various kinds of Hutt PCs, as younger Hutts for example are much smaller and way more nimble, whilst getting your Hutt a set of ancient battle armour or a battle hover platform will more than compensate for mobility.

 

Yeah, but social evolution outpacing physical evolution... I mean, they're obviously hardy, yes, but hardy the way an unevolved creature is often more physically powerful than an evolved one. I like that---that idea of a society which attained mastery over the social so quickly that their physique retained its primitive form in many ways.
