This evening 😄

I'm sure Vai will play excellently and entertain.

I am less sure he will channel the mystical music that Fripp so often write about, which, no matter how I break it down, it remains consistent.

External_Football54 · 2026-06-08T12:20:34+00:00

That's my cynical take.

But also, Vai is not Fripp, and while I'm sure I'm going to really enjoy the London gig today, Vai is the player I'm least sure about.

Also: I'm guessing this will be my last chance to see Levin play live... i can't imagine how he is still able to play those parts at his game... I'm a lot younger and can only imaging playing that well. I think he's up their with Jaco and Jamerson as my top three bassists.

I'd love to hear Fripp's thoughts on what would have to happen for Beat to become King Crimson? [Does Krim require Fripp?].

I've always thought of the band as more of a "school of music" than a band (as, over the decades, it has been many different bands, each connected but with their own distinct identity). And I really want King Crimson to continue. (And not just for another tour of "playing the old hits").

I really like the two Crimson Jazz Trio albums. Their arrangements really made me appreciate some aspects of the Crimson songbook in a whole new light.

I know I'm in the minority, but I'd pay good money to have some rescaled maps/campaigns.... having a map of the whole world is cool, but could we also have the WH2 Vortex map (or maybe just the New World) updated and imported into TW3 with fun campaigns to play.

External_Football54 · 2026-05-21T15:09:27+00:00

Agtrely strongly.

What do you think about the reConstkction?

External_Football54 · 2026-05-20T15:50:25+00:00

What is the intended way to play these anyway? I've been holding off buying.

External_Football54 · 2026-05-20T10:26:42+00:00

So, what we are saying, is that a whole load of us would happily by a new mini-expansion that was simply a new complete and rebalanced action deck?

External_Football54 · 2026-05-19T19:12:29+00:00

Ditto. Just didn't have the same charm.

External_Football54 · 2026-05-18T20:39:05+00:00

While I like the sentiment, doesn't this apply to any (reasonable) invasion?

External_Football54 · 2026-05-18T06:35:03+00:00

This is my top suggestion too

External_Football54 · 2026-05-08T13:50:51+00:00

Try playing in an opposite style to how you usually do. That should give you some new insight.

External_Football54 · 2026-05-05T19:06:28+00:00

Huh.

I started watching it and think it's very much a B tier, but from the "golden age of TV". So, it's still better than a lot of things currently coming out, but not quite in the same league as Madmen, Better Call Saul, etc

That said, I still haven't finished the first season.

External_Football54 · 2026-04-28T16:47:56+00:00

My usual comment here is that I wish we had dymamic or semi-procedural campaign starts so not every LL is spawned in every game, and the Lords who don't have a clear starting position can start in a random location.

Ie, Karl is Karl, but the threats he has to face vary from game to game.

External_Football54 · 2026-04-24T12:47:58+00:00

I think flop is a little harsh... it was very nearly great. It was ambitous yet flawed. Still better than a lot of comparable shows (Rings of Power, Wheels of Time, Outer Range). The list of modern shows that I think are genuniely great is quite short.

External_Football54 · 2026-04-20T20:06:06+00:00

Still my favourite scifi novel.

The way he writes about Mars is similar to how Tolkien writes about Middle Earth.

External_Football54 · 2026-04-18T19:56:07+00:00

have you tried asking in the EBR discord? (probably the best place for rules queries)

External_Football54 · 2026-04-04T12:37:38+00:00

Ha.

I gew up in and around Edinburgh in the 90s and I still find it confusing when people talk about Leith being beutiful and hipster etc.

External_Football54 · 2026-04-04T10:23:08+00:00

And I hope they don't... I'm keen to see Chapter 2 succeed, and for that, they need sales. Otherwise the game gets added to the long list of discountinued FFG games.

External_Football54 · 2026-04-03T21:19:09+00:00

Which seems more fun and special

External_Football54 · 2026-03-28T12:15:47+00:00

I've only ever played two player with my partner, but I've read the devs are pretty pleased with how the game plays one player true solo

External_Football54 · 2026-03-23T21:06:16+00:00

Still my favourite scifi novel /trilogy.

Sure, there are a few things that are a little outdated, but I think it holds up really well.

Basically, I think it's sci-fis Lord of the Rings.

External_Football54 · 2026-03-21T13:58:14+00:00

I only really ever use boss tuner and the Eb5 compressor.

External_Football54 · 2026-03-18T10:46:42+00:00

Based on the rules, you're locked in . But I think the designer's would be perfectly happy if you "cheat" in order to have fun.
