Arcs is back baby! This week I've got Cole and Josh of Buried Giant Studios on to talk about the future of the best space opera competitive strategy game that isn't called Twilight Imperium. They've really out done themselves with the promise of new leaders, new fates, a new draft system reminiscent of the advanced setup rules for Root and perhaps even secret conversations. It's a new dawn for Arcs and I'm excited to see how it develops. Check out the kickstarter here: Arcs: Beyond the Reach Kickstarter Music provided by Ben Prunty.

This week Hunter and Jadiim are indulging in our yearly tradition of recommending how best to experience Twilight Imperium at this point! We're rounding up all of the various options for getting involved and all of the crazy new and old ways you can experience the game. It's a beautiful overview that would be a great starting place for someone that is looking to play this game more than you ever should. Music provided by Ben Prunty.

This week we've got a fun one for y'all! In order to celebrate the first six months of Thunder's Edge, I decided to call up my friends and have a nice chat about the state of Twilight Imperium and how different creators see the game, it's fun and nice and sweet!

Hey hey! I've got a bonus episode for you all this week. This extra episode is an in-depth interview with the designer of The Old King's Crown Pablo Clark. We had a great conversation about the unexpected success of this deep strategy game that I hope you will enjoy. The game is currently headed for it's second printing so if you feel like this sounds up your weird strategy alley you should check it out below!

This week we finally reach the end of our first pass on everything new included in the Thunder's Edge expansion! Only about six months to talk about everything. We've been very specific about it to, I think we've saved the best for last. The Firmament is far from the greatest faction but I think what they bring to the table is so fresh that it's just too exciting to ignore. So sit down with Me and Blasto as we wax poetic on what works and what doesn't and remember to keep an open mind, there was a time that factions like Arborec and Yin were considered bad and then as our understanding evolves we realize that they aren't bad, they're just mid. Maybe that will be the case here! The Old King's Crown Campaign page: The Old King's Crown Second Printing and New Songs of Home Expansion Music provided by Ben Prunty.

Our final component overview episode for Twilight's Fall! From here on out it's gonna get weirder and more specific so study up this week with Hunter and Blasto as they sit down again for another absolute barn burner of an overview. Every single Genome and Paradigm is spoken aloud into our microphones. I hope you have been following along with the Twilight's Fall episodes because going forward we're going to be changing how we cover this stuff and it's going to get more specific and complicated. This will all be on the test! The Old King's Crown Campaign page: The Old King's Crown Second Printing and New Songs of Home Expansion Music provided by Ben Prunty.

We're closing up our initial look at the Thunder's Edge expansion with our first look at the final two Mahact Kings. Hunter and Alec saved two very solid options for last as the Saint of Swords can hit like a truck full of swords and Lurch is just the most interesting option if you like playing underdog factions that have extremely unique options available to them.

You've got questions, we've got answers. This week we've got Andcat back on the show and he has convened with a secret cabal of Rules Lawyers in order to dig deep on one of the big new rules concepts that you need to know in advance of the next big faction guide! This is a weird nitty gritty episode but I feel like it's fascinating if you wanna jump into the muck of new interactions that frequently come up. Consider this episode a preview of the hotly anticipated living rules reference update!

Hunter and Alec are back on the case! Taking on the next two Mahact kings is quite the roller coaster today.

I'm so excited to talk about this faction. Last Bastion is exactly the kind of faction that I love to champion! They're kinda bad but also extremely good given certain situations and contexts, in this episode Hunter and JadiimJedi are gonna dig right into those exact situations. They're the good guys!

This week we've got Alec back in the chair NOT talking about Twilight's Fall stuff, instead it's time to put on our cartography glasses and dig deep on all of the beautiful new hexagons Santa gave us! We also spend a bit in the beginning discussing Leonardo DiCraprio so don't get spooked by that.

Welcome to 2026! This week we've got a business episode with EJ Sanders as our guest so you can expect some silly stuff. We talk about a lot of our goals for SCPT this year and some of our future events before digging into the results of the first annual GALACTIC CENSUS. This is a new feature of the patreon I'll do at the end of every year where we poll the audience on favorite faction, favorite way to play, and favorite moments from the year in Twilight Imperium. Think of it as a community year in review. After the ad Break stay tuned for Hunter as he breaks down this year's changes to the Patreon structure and tier features.

Happy Holidays! I got you this gift of a weird conversation featuring Bane Salami and Katt Fartens. Honestly I don’t even remember what we talked about. Enjoy!

Hunter and Alec are back for some more Twilight's Fall discussion! This week is all about the broken as heck Money Mahact who can legitimately conjure more Trade Goods then any seat in the entire game. In the second half we break down the Arborec themed Mahact which has very tasty production mechanics. These are both very solid choices so consult these if you wanna play the good Kings!

I hope you like lizards and or geckos because Hunter and Jadiim Jedi are back to dive into our next brand new faction, the Ral Nel!
