Welcome to episode #275 of the the podcast celebrating the Alea Iacta Est gaming community, the die has been podcast. This is Mkallah: To my left is Tetsemi: - (I have spreadsheets for my spreadsheets). And to my right is Mewkow (Greetings, Gamers!). This week we are joined by ourselves and we are here to talk to us about AIE Welcome!

Ok, we’ll be chatting shortly, but first, let’s cover this week’s news...

AIE News

Community

Phoenix Comicon is coming up next weekend and several AIE folks will be in attendance as vendors and attendees. If you want to see Mkallah and Nevermore, stop by booth 501/503 and browse their wares! If you want to see Alachaas and Leontine (Ozarin) stop by the 501st Legion Outpost and you be able to catch a glimpse of them or take a shot at them in the Shoot a Trooper game! Bouvi will be at booth 396 & 398 (Hero Initiative), stop by and say hi!

Keep an eye out on Meetup.com to see if any of the Phoenix guildies are meeting up at Comicon or for a food gathering nearby!

Imperium Ludi

With the recent announcement by Bungie and Blizzard that the Destiny 2 game will be utilizing the Blizzard Launcher and the Friends/Chat/Voice capabilities it provides, Durus has started a new poll asking folks that are buying Destiny 2 which platform they’ll be playing on. Consider this a check of the community for possible AIE organizational activities :)

Galadeon brings us a new update for Ashes of Creation, they’ve launched a Kickstarter and it’s fully funded, you still have 11 days (from this recording) if you want to contribute and have a chance to get into the alpha. There is a new video up for the Kickstarter, and I, personally, am waiting on the 3rd and 4th Nodes videos.

NOMADS

Corley is hosting a Rust server and a very tight knit community has been actively playing on it. The server is being kept up to date with patches and other features as they become available. If you’d like to try Rust out and play with AIE folks, drop by the #survival-exploration channel on Discord for more information.

WoW

Still working on getting flying in Legion? Some tips and tricks for tracking what you need to do and how to get a little edge on the harder factions to get to revered can be found in the forum thread http://forum.myextralife.com/topic/57404-tracking-your-legion-pathfinder-status/

Summer of Love (slated for the beginning of August) planning is in full swing. If you’d like to run an event, contact Syreyne on the forums, in Discord, or on one of her many alts in game! There will be a CooP run, a Running of the X (most like in conjunction with CTR guild like last time), a Remembrance Day meet up at the Shrine of the Fallen Soldier and a march to Orgrimmar. With Ralff’s passing this year, it will be especially meaningful for the guild. Keep an eye on the Discord channels and forums for the other games as well for their activities!

SWTOR

Roka_imo (on the forums) has rejoined the Wars among the Stars and the forum posting contains a lot of good information for folks recently returning to the game as well as guild activities and things to focus on in game while leveling up.

Mandatory Fun Night will be on the pub side this week and then imp for the next two, continuing the rotation and getting both factions some love!

The summer "roadmap" should be published soon from Bioware. We saw a few hints of what to come earlier from Keith, but the full roadmap with, hopefully,
