This episode was recorded LIVE at the Helium Comedy Club in Indianapolis, IN during the week of GenCon 2023! If you want to hear all of the stand-up, you'll have to come in person yourself someday, but this recording includes Old Gamer's Almanac playthrough of an old Sonic the Hedgehog Choose Your Own Adventure book as well as the SCPT Live show.

The Galactic Council went chaotic evil this week and wanted us to provide you with the sequel to everyone's favorite episode: TI The Movie. This time we have to design a mini-series set in the Twilight Imperium universe, meant to be released on HBO circa 2010. We totally took the prompt really seriously and this is a very earnest attempt at that. There's no funny business, there's no references to the Watchmen, and there are absolutely no Muppets.

Agenda Phase: RockPaperLizard asks “Would you be interested as content creators in recording games specifically oriented for ‘Listenability.’”

We've done it! After today, all of the Prophecy of Kings factions will have been revisited on this show as part of our Super Guide series! Don't talk to me about Council Keleres! We finish up with the Nomad, which is the first faction we ever learned about on this show and we've come a long way since then. Nomad has had some high highs, but they feel like they're slowing down a bit in their performance. What made them so good before and why have we seen that change over time?

Come see us perform live during GenCon at the Helium Comedy Club on August 3 at 8:00 PM! https://indianapolis.heliumcomedy.com/shows/218650

0:00 - Lightning's Swift Strike

56:14 - Shadows Flicker Like Flames

We're nearing the end of our super POK faction guides and today we get to tackle the first faction we ever dug deep into in POK, the Titans of Ul. They're a powerful faction that has always performed very well in our tournaments, but this year had a bit of a decline. (into the middle of the pack, so don't freak out) What makes this faction so strong and how can you make the most of their toolkit?

1:25:36 - Agenda Phase: OfficialDaveAcct asks “You mentioned in your Empyrean episode that you thought that faction was a great faction for a new player. What other factions would you recommend for someone's first time playing Twilight Imperium and why?”

1:33:57 - Homebrew Review: Simple's Vuil'Raight Idol Action Card

The Moments

Honorable Mentions

1. Teddy can’t score his secrets and Visioness has a perfect opening (https://youtu.be/K9z4v6sSMIA)

And now the thrilling conclusion to the tale of Gasha, Rick, Wrexx, Borin, and Ser. It's time for our heroes to sort out a bit of a bug situation, learn the secrets of mysterious artifacts, and handle a bit of a ghost issue. 

We've really loved making these and it's been especially rewarding to hear everyone respond so positively to them. We absolutely hope to make more in the future!

We're back with more Spirit Island content! This week, we were tired of being pushed around, so we're talking about two spirits that do a lot of pushing back, the fear based Bringer of Dreams and Nightmares and the nuclear missile that is River Surges in Sunlight.

We've been having TOO MUCH FUN over here at SCPT the last few weeks, so it's time for some more chunky content. Today is a guide to the Vuil'raith Cabal that it feels like we've been working on for two years. Have we finally unlocked the secret to this faction, or has Matt mostly just learned to stop sweating the small stuff? Or is he capable of learning to stop sweating...

0:00 - Cabal Guide

1:46:26 - Homebrew Review: Wekker’s “Anomalous Anomalies Assortment”

1:53:10 - Agenda Phase: My Cabbages! asks "When you are dealt a hard to achieve secret objective do you start working on it right away or ignore it and plan to draw another later?"

2:06:45 - Prelims Report: Games 15, 29, 30, 31, & 32.
