Stay On Target | An X-Wing Podcast Franch, Gordon and Mikhail

After 100 minutes of recording, Gordon's Zoom client locks up and the entire episode is lost. Or not. The latest lists doing well in the competitive scene are discussed as well as Gordon and Mikhail's continuing efforts to grow/revitalize X-Wing communities where they live.

This episode was originally going to be titled "Pillow Talk" -- you'll get the reference if you listen towards the end -- but when we realized it was our 66th podcast, we really had no choice what to name it. Highlights include our reactions to the new rules changes and points update, as well as two of the hosts sharing their experiences in trying to build new X-Wing communities.

Gordon summarizes his experiences at Adepticon and reveals a conclusion he's now formed. Franch has finally played some 2.5 games in real life...with real people! Mikhail is moving. Again. Stay On Target After Dark offers up some truly bad Dad jokes.

Talk about a great disturbance in the Force! X-Wing 2.5 is finally here and we have thoughts about the two biggest reveals: New list building rules, and five new scenarios that introduce another way to score points.

AMG drops a bombshell of a new rule where even SOT can't just sit idly by without recording an episode. Will this be the final form of Random Player Order? Or will a very vocal minority influence AMG via social media to make a change? Disclaimer: Franch and Mikhail sound great on their new mics while Gordon had the wrong settings and clips like crazy with too hot of a mic. Try to ignore him if you can...

Gordon just wanted to test a Zoom remote session to see what it was like -- because not getting together in person is new for us -- when Mikhail suddenly says "Just hit the record button...go!" The discussion is what you'd expect: A little points update reactions here, a little AMG major game change reactions there. Steelers talk at about the 1:27:00 mark if you're a masochist.
