450: Twilight Imperium Content Creator Summit! (Featuring Cardboard Crash Course and the TI Junkies)

This week we've got a fun one for y'all! In order to celebrate the first six months of Thunder's Edge, I decided to call up my friends and have a nice chat about the state of Twilight Imperium and how different creators see the game, it's fun and nice and sweet!

Hey hey! I've got a bonus episode for you all this week. This extra episode is an in-depth interview with the designer of The Old King's Crown Pablo Clark.

The game is currently headed for it's second printing so if you feel like this sounds up your weird strategy alley you should check it out below!  The Old King's Crown Campaign page: The Old King's Crown Second Printing and New Songs of Home Expansion Music provided by Ben Prunty.

This week we finally reach the end of our first pass on everything new included in the Thunder's Edge expansion! Only about six months to talk about everything. We've been very specific about it to, I think we've saved the best for last. The Firmament is far from the greatest faction but I think what they bring to the table is so fresh that it's just too exciting to ignore. So sit down with Me and Blasto as we wax poetic on what works and what doesn't and remember to keep an open mind, there was a time that factions like Arborec and Yin were considered bad and then as our understanding evolves we realize that they aren't bad, they're just mid. Maybe that will be the case here! The Old King's Crown Campaign page: The Old King's Crown Second Printing and New Songs of Home Expansion Music provided by Ben Prunty.

Our final component overview episode for Twilight's Fall! From here on out it's gonna get weirder and more specific so study up this week with Hunter and Blasto as they sit down again for another absolute barn burner of an overview. Every single Genome and Paradigm is spoken aloud into our microphones. I hope you have been following along with the Twilight's Fall episodes because going forward we're going to be changing how we cover this stuff and it's going to get more specific and complicated. This will all be on the test! The Old King's Crown Campaign page: The Old King's Crown Second Printing and New Songs of Home Expansion Music provided by Ben Prunty.

We're closing up our initial look at the Thunder's Edge expansion with our first look at the final two Mahact Kings. Hunter and Alec saved two very solid options for last as the Saint of Swords can hit like a truck full of swords and Lurch is just the most interesting option if you like playing underdog factions that have extremely unique options available to them.

You've got questions, we've got answers. This week we've got Andcat back on the show and he has convened with a secret cabal of Rules Lawyers in order to dig deep on one of the big new rules concepts that you need to know in advance of the next big faction guide! This is a weird nitty gritty episode but I feel like it's fascinating if you wanna jump into the muck of new interactions that frequently come up. Consider this episode a preview of the hotly anticipated living rules reference update!
