I grabbed a quick demo of X-Wing Second Edition at Origins Game Fair 2018.
I’m not sure I like the turret change, but I do like the new templates.
In the first ever episode of Wargame Wanderings Matt talks about X-wing second ed and how the changes might impact players.
If all goes well I will be able to Gen Con FFG has invited me and several other creators a second ed party so I’m looking for ways to go.
In this Box Breaking Matt takes a look at the 2 Player Starter for Star Wars Legion from FFG. This starter has a lot of pieces and was a surprise on many fronts!
Stop back soon to see them put together.

Star Wars: Imperial Assault: Stormtroopers Villain Pack
$14.95
Stormtroopers are the armored fist of the Empire, and are universally feared on Imperial planets. Naturally, Stormtroopers are one of the most common foes faced by the Rebellion, but their intensive training and seemingly-limitless numbers make them a danger to even the best prepared Rebel operatives. Of course, the Stormtroopers were first introduced in the Imperial Assault Core Set, but the Stormtroopers Villain Pack brings deadly new tactics and abilities to these most loyal servants of the Empire, as well as three new Stormtrooper figures that feature an alternate figure sculpt.
New York Times bestselling author/illustrator TONY DITERLIZZI is this year’s ARTIST GUEST OF HONOR at GEN CON. Tony will be promoting his new book REALMS: THE ROLEPLAYING GAME ART OF TONY DITERLIZZI (Dark Horse Books). Here are Tony’s thoughts about GenCon, where he launched his worldwide bestselling THE SPIDERWICK CHRONICLES (co-created with Holly Black) in 2003. http://diterlizzi.com/home/gen-con-artist-guest-of-honor/
And here is a snippet from Guillermo Del Toro’s foreword for REALMS:
“Tony’s work has a distinct flair, a love for monsters if you will. His creatures have the charm of Henson or Rackham but they carry with them hints of their own ecosystem. He stands alone as a creator of worlds and a weaver of tales. May you treasure these art pieces as much as I do.” – Guillermo del Toro (Director of PAN’S LABYRINTH, HELLBOY and PACIFIC RIM).
It’s of interest that Tony got his start doing game art for D&D and is now one of the most renowned children’s authors in the world…there must be a parallel to be explored there…I think the commonality resides in the ability to “world-build.”
Artist Guest of Honor
Gen Con is thrilled to announce the 2015 Artist Guest of Honor Tony DiTerlizzi.
Tony will host several events at the show, make sure to check them out when Event Registration opens in May. When not hosting his events, you can find Tony at his booth in the Art Show. Stop by and say “hi!”
About Tony:
DRAGONS, SPACE MONSTERS, GOBLINS, and insects—the characters that inhabit Tony DiTerlizzi’s world haven’t changed since he was a kid growing up in Florida.
In 1981, after watching The Dark Crystal and playing Dungeons & Dragons, 12-year-old Tony created a field guide on fantastical creatures. He would return to this premise many years later as the genesis for the multi-million bestselling chapter book series, The Spiderwick Chronicles.
Eleven years later, Tony began working for TSR where his art soon became synonymous with the Planescape RPG. Throughout the decade he also freelanced with White Wolf Games and Wizards of the Coast, where he painted cards for Magic: The Gathering.
This year marks the release of Realms: The Roleplaying Game Art of Tony DiTerlizzi (published by Dark Horse Books) – a first-ever collection of fantastic art from the start of a fantastic career.
Tony lives in Amherst, Massachusetts, with his wife and daughter.
