Space Cats Peace Turtles

This is a very excited start to what is going to be a very long ARC of Matt and Hunter talking about space games. Today we begin our discussion of the Arcs expansion "The Blighted Reach" aka "Campaign Mode" aka "Arcs: Imperium." What follows is a list of pointers and anecdotes for beginning to think about learning this excellent version of Arcs. While none of it will succinctly teach you how to play the game, it is helpful to hear about the experience of learning this huge game so as to learn it faster, better, and stronger than these two fools ever could have.

Here we are with our penultimate Faction guide and this one is a bit rough, Barony seems to struggle a lot in the data and the boys don't quite get to the bottom of it. There is one thing we are sure of, they're good at fighting, but is it enough? If all else fails I do hope that we inspire someone to figure out exactly how to reliably succeed with our Irish space warlords!

This week we reach the end of our Base Game Arcs coverage. The boys sit down to reflect on their feelings before we move forward into the wild world of Campaign Arcs. This one is heavy with feelings and theory and gets only a little bit meta at times. We hope you have enjoyed our coverage of base game Arcs! Looking forward to returning to it sometime in the coming years.

Today we have something weird and experimental for you all. While Matt is still in Germany attending Essen we've got Hunter all alone cookin' weirdo soup for the SCPT faithful. This week Hunter is sitting down to listen to the audio from the very first SCPT episode while giving his thoughts, heckles, and commentary. Let's see just how far we've come on this show and with Twilight Imperium.

This is it y'all, the episode you have been waiting for, for a long time. Today we're going to talk about the famous and beloved zombie plants that we love to hate and you love to love. They're the best, they're the worst and we can't get enough of them.

This week all your questions about the upcoming 7th SCPT Twilight Imperium Patreon tournament will be answered. The important news is that you can sign up for the first games on SEPTEMBER 18TH at 15:00 UTC/11:00AM Central Time. Also if you are interested in playing in the tournament this year I recommend last week's episode also if you haven't listened to it yet.

It's finally here! We're ready to announce our SEVENTH annual Twilight Imperium Patreon Tournament. We'll go in depth on the details, but head to the discord to ask us more questions and we'll follow up in next week's episode. We're also excited to announce our intent to do an even dumber idea than a TI tournament, a tournament for Blight Reach Campaign Arcs! How do we have time for all of these events? Honestly, I wish I knew...

This week we're back with friend of the show, Tom Brewster of Shut Up and Sit Down! Listen as we turn the corner on three more of the arcs leaders and dig even further into what makes Arcs a unique strategy game. These three leaders really showcase the different styles of Arcs leaders with interesting abilities, obvious applications, and one of them is just kind of bogus. You'll love it! Also stay tuned next week for the imminent announcement of PATREON TOURNAMENT 7. You will not want to miss that.
