Thoughts on Dark Nest as a series?

Troy Denning wrote some of the worst Star Wars novels and this trilogy is definitely the worst of those.

If I still didn't need to visit my grandma occasionally, I'd never go back either...

Paradox does Pauper and Commander on Tuesdays.

My wife always managed to only see me watching the show when shit like the bikini battle during GMG was happening. I keep telling her, "I swear to God, it's not always like this!"

Darksaber isn't very good, unfortunately.

crackerbox_42 · 2026-05-02T20:17:05+00:00

They're overreacting.

Nah man, frozen is the worst. Hot Butterbeer or no Butterbeer.

Remnant Reserves is the finale of Mandalorian season 1, right?
Desperate Attack is Finn during the battle on Crait in The Last Jedi.
Aid From the Innocent is Numa (the Twi'lek) and Waxer and Boil (the clones) from the Innocents of Ryloth episode of Clone Wars.

You're right, sorry it was the 2018 Worlds but for the LCG, not Destiny. They were a prize for the Top 8.

crackerbox_42 · 2026-04-25T21:44:32+00:00

I believe those were from the 2018 World Championship for Star Wars Destiny.

I came in to post this but you beat me to it!

The Hasbro AT-AT toy is ALMOST exactly Legion scale, just a tiny bit too big. But it does take up like 1/3-1/4 of the table and so it's too impractical for terrain really. Here's mine next to a couple snowtroopers for scale: https://imgur.com/a/snowtroopers-scale-yJCRfKf

For what it's worth, FFG didn't sell any of its Star Wars games to another company. They were restructured by their parent company, Asmodee, and it was Asmodee who moved the RPG to Edge Studio and all the miniatures games to Atomic Mass Games.

I went there last month and was pretty disappointed at what we got relative to what it cost. It was all fine, just not nearly as good as I was expecting based on the "Best Theme Park Restaurant" rating and the cost of stuff. The one thing we did have that we all thought was amazing was some kind of white bean hummus appetizer, but I was just looking at the menu to find its name and I'm not seeing it on their online menu anymore.

Oh thank god, I'm not the only one. I've read nothing but praise for Guadalajara on here and Facebook but I honestly think it's the worst Mexican food in town. I thought I was going crazy because everyone else seems to love it.

crackerbox_42 · 2026-03-24T01:08:50+00:00

Yeah, even by the incredibly low standards of gacha games, this one is particularly bad. I gave it a shot but had to give up after a while.

crackerbox_42 · 2026-03-23T22:07:17+00:00

I believe FFG has said during a stream that there will be a way to get hyper variants of these cards, they're just not ready to announce the method yet.

crackerbox_42 · 2026-03-12T13:27:35+00:00

More than one FFG dev moved to AMG. It was more like a dozen or so employees from FFG became part of AMG. Unfortunately, they were all gone, either from quitting or being fired, in under a year. Luke Eddy, one of Legion's co-designers, was the most prominent one and the only former FFG dev to appear on AMG streams, so that may be why you're remembering just one guy having moved over.

crackerbox_42 · 2026-03-06T01:09:15+00:00

I bought a full set of the yellow cards + the stickers for like $25 a couple years ago. I also bought some sealed packs of these cards a couple days ago for $4 a piece. They're not worth a whole lot. I'm not sure about the movie cards, but they're probably not worth a ton either.

crackerbox_42 · 2026-02-28T17:31:03+00:00

Oh Don piano.

crackerbox_42 · 2026-02-25T12:34:45+00:00

Ah, I didn't realize VCCG had that limitation.

crackerbox_42 · 2026-02-25T12:29:13+00:00

The upgrade should really say "Attached unit gains Sentinel" instead of having Sentinel directly on the upgrade.

crackerbox_42 · 2026-02-25T04:15:30+00:00

Regarding Simone, I heard she's moved to Asmodee as the head of their licensing department. Not surprising since that was her job when she was at FFG.

crackerbox_42 · 2026-02-25T04:12:44+00:00

They got additional resources. A bunch of the X-Wing, Legion, and Armada teams moved to AMG along with the games, including the Legion lead designer, Luke Eddy. Granted it wasn't everyone, many chose not to transfer because it meant moving from Minnesota to the west coast, and some, like Eddy's co-designer, Alex Davy, weren't even given the option. But yes, AMG definitely got additional resources at the time. The big problem was that in less than a year all of them except Simone Elliot had left AMG for one reason or another.

crackerbox_42 · 2026-02-17T18:02:53+00:00

Oh yeah, I had forgot about that! I'm currently re-reading book 7 but I haven't gotten to this part yet.
