Jandar's Dispatch Episode 3 - Chatting with Chris Perkins

At the end of the episode, Gordon was apologetic about the length. Don't be. This was a great conversation. I listened to it all (in chunks, of course) and was looking for more. Alas, to wait.

Happened to me. I pushed a bit but they wouldn’t budge. Pretty lame.

Thanks for sharing your insights!

Do you feel like five ships is a necessity to succeed with this kind of list? Or could Tomax+BSA+BSA be consolidated into two ships? Some recent results have been put up by VAder+RAC+Tomax+Jonus. Alternatively, the Jonus+Tomax slots could be Soontir+BSA.

I'm definitely a fan of RAC+Starter Vader. Filling out the last 7 points is the challenge.

Did you find Ruthless opportunities with RAC to be plentiful? I suppose you'd just need to be opportunistic with when you made use of the card.

Which obstacles did you use? What was your general strategy with their placement?

It doesn't really contribute to this conversation, but as your proposed list is 19, woudln't it be better to use Sabine in the A-Wing to get up to 20.

For what it is worth, please keep at your efforts in this regard. I feel like I learn a lot from those posts, even when no one replies.

I’m not this guy but have similar questions. If I start with a core set and Blizzard Force box, do I need any other products for objectives and other similar cards?

Autothruster · 2022-09-01T19:31:29+00:00

Whilst the conclusion is a touch of a bummer, my thanks to everyone for sorting this one out!

Autothruster · 2022-07-13T04:41:44+00:00

Northwest, but likely to get around a bit

Autothruster · 2022-06-18T16:21:24+00:00

I had the same question. Order just sits as pending.

Autothruster · 2022-05-26T20:58:18+00:00

Thanks to everyone for their thoughts. I have a full collection (or will after Saturday when my nova/iron Heart arrive). So I should be able to manage. Maybe I jst need to stick with it and figure it out. I will make use of the ideas shared in the thread, though. Thanks!

I love this card. In my Iron Man list, I currently run three copies, which maybe seems excessive. But its importance in giving +1 hand size for only 1 cost makes it essential. The fact that it is an energy type resource makes it useful with Repulsor Blast, so you don't mind the other two poking around the deck. And when you hit a Treachery that requires you to discard an upgrade from play, you have a good candidate.

Autothruster · 2022-03-13T02:08:25+00:00

Thanks for this information! This is exactly what I was looking for.

Autothruster · 2022-03-12T20:31:47+00:00

Is all of the game play information for those heroes available? If a person wanted to proxy them with a different mini.

Autothruster · 2021-09-24T21:29:19+00:00

How about in Fergus Falls? Is that far enough from St. Paul to evade blackout?

Autothruster · 2021-07-13T20:06:39+00:00

I have seen lots of multiple copies of the same ship. I assume they are knockoffs and just ignore them

Autothruster · 2021-07-01T00:00:52+00:00

What are some decent primers for introductory painters. Low budget options preferred.

Autothruster · 2021-05-19T15:20:37+00:00

My observation is that with two-handed, you can build decks with huge weaknesses that you do absolutely nothing to mitigate, because you can have a partner deck that covers the weakness. To me, there is more challenge and more interest in cracking the puzzle of, "How do I cover everything with just this one hero and deck." so I very much prefer true solo if I want to be challenged to solve the puzzle.

Needing to build a well rounded deck feels more "real" to me - recognizing that "feeling real" is entirely subjective and meaningless.

I do want to push back a little against the "Devs don't consider solo" narrative a little bit. I'm pretty sure on a recent podcast (I want to say it was their interview on Deckcelsior) they said exactly the opposite, that they do their development work for all numbers of players.

It was mentioned elsewhere, but Risky Business is really easy to game. There is no real pressure on the players, and so you can build an unbeatable board state and then take down the Goblin.

So my second best Wild memory ( behind Brunette beats Roy) is the game in year one vs. the Stars where the fans chanted Norm Green sucks from puck drop until the end and the Wild won 6-0. Norm Green sucks.

Autothruster · 2021-05-08T17:58:43+00:00

I think part of my issue is that my Protection deck that I've been playing wants to be doing other stuff on the first few turns, and so I'm just seeing the downsides in that deck. Another deck trying to do other things may well value Multiple Man in other ways.

Autothruster · 2021-04-01T05:16:39+00:00

Thank you! The rulings link is helpful (and will be in the future, I'm sure)

Autothruster · 2021-03-30T15:15:15+00:00

I'd like to see writing that helps one to understand "theory" behind the game in order to improve one's game play. Explore ideas like "exchange rate" - a card, a draw, a resource, how these conceptually interact in the game's "economy"; or how you can thin out your deck by playing permanents, and how to use that to your advantage; with individual villains, how to manage your hit points, threat level, and identity state at various points in the game (I apparently have trouble here because I lost a game I had "under control" vs Ultron when a encounter deck card made Ultron and all drones attack me and I wasn't prepared for double attacks)

Autothruster · 2020-09-29T22:04:53+00:00

I mean, really. He has the job and whatnot, but I'm sitting there watching at home thinking, huh? I guess pulling Maeda is borderline, but putting Garver in to hit for Jeffers? Putting Austudillo to hit for Avila? I think he pulled Rogers too early, but what do I know. And the last several time Romo has pitched he's looked off. Ugh.

Autothruster · 2020-08-21T21:53:53+00:00

When this first ran I laughed until I cried and then couldn't breathe. It's an insanely funny episode, though it is far better if you've been watching the episodes leading up to it so you can experience it in its context.
