An X-Wing Miniatures Game Podcast hosted by the Carolina Krayts. Based out of North Carolina, the hosts Ben Keller, Chris Allen, and Tyler Barnett talk about things sometimes related to X-Wing.
I was going to edit in a funny sound, then realized I barely remember how to use Audacity and decided against it. Just pretend it was hilarious. Anyways, Krayt Cup V is coming soon! September 23-25th in Durham, NC. Links mentioned: kraytcup.com Carolina Krayts Discord Link Event Details and Rules
Are we doing this again? I guess so. It's April Fool's, so sounds like a content day. https://docs.google.com/document/d/13V7m21bzVDsyh1x6GURn7H1qy_ZB5VMerF5U2Rjl86s/edit
We initially didn't put anything out on the ROAD rules and the other announced stuff because there's too much we don't know. Turns out that didn't stop anyone else. Anyways, if you want a TL;DR it's if anyone is telling you they know what the meta impacts are going to be for changes like this, especially before we even know the details, they're either lying or stupid. Or both! Also, no one told me my audio quality was terrible at the time, so now you have to suffer for it. Sorry!
These are so big, it's hard to summarize. If you haven't already, we strongly recommend watching the presentation yourself: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YxwAfvIPWEw
Followup to Krayt Tapes 1-3, which were Lone Star Open games. Krayt Tape 1: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4o1zroJumPw Krayt Tape 2: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8nwScLKo4Yg Krayt Tape 3: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i2XujI4Oylc
...yes, the recording actually died during the epilogue, which seems like the most fitting possible ending.
Here, have two since we were slow!
work is banned
Getting important work done.
Our recording had some technical issues at the end, there wasn't anything noteworthy that happened afterwards!
chaos is king responsibility is the enemy
HOW AM I SUPPOSED TO LORD GOING TO PLAYS OVER PEOPLE IF THEY JUST PUT IT ONLINE FOR EVERYONE?!
Quarantine makes people make some poor life decisions. What could be safer than a trip to Antarctica, lead by one Mr Heaver?
First run at live recording our podcast, taking chat questions, etc. Video is dramatically more useful than audio for something like squadrons, so highly recommend just watching this on youtube here: https://youtu.be/wUYQ6TgQb-E We livestream at https://www.twitch.tv/carolinakrayts. The community discord server for game nights, and finding groups is discord.gg/carolinakrayts.
...and failing
idk man it's squadrons stuff never not be mad about bunkers tho
Overview of pretty much everything we've figured out playing Squadrons Fleet Battles 24/7 since launch. Also, this game is 100x better playing with friends. We're really luck to have a large squadrons community piggybacking off our X-Wing minis community. There's with multiple games (usually 3-4+) full of 5 players going at a time here: https://discord.com/invite/YEuFJbu Main stream we use is https://www.twitch.tv/carolinakrayts but Reflex's (the Fighter player in this discussion) stream is https://www.twitch.tv/reflexx18 and the Interceptor player who unfortunately couldn't make it is https://www.twitch.tv/starslinger72 Example builds: fighter: http://www.squadrons.tools/builder?s=Miw3OSwyLDkzLDkyLDE5LDMyLDIz bomber: http://www.squadrons.tools/builder?s=Myw4NCwyLDIzMywyMzgsMTgsMzUsMjQ%3D interceptor: http://www.squadrons.tools/builder?s=MSw3NywyLDEwMCwyMzEsMTYsMjgsMjM%3D support: http://www.squadrons.tools/builder?s=NCw4OSwyLDIyMiwyMjMsMTksMzIsMjc%3D
https://discord.com/invite/YEuFJbu is the community link. First game night is tonight - Sept 19 Next movie night is TBD, previous was Sept 13.
spoiler alert: no
In a rare and dangerously content filled distraction from usual, here's a quick guide to the landscape around squadrons. What consoles make sense, what controllers make sense, and what's this VR business?

For Fun And Profit
This is definitely fine, and not a disaster
A one-shot set in the Deadlands Universe, using the Savage Worlds! system by Pinnacle Entertainment. It is Travis's favorite setting, and I wanted to share it. Pinnacle has made the Deadlands Reloaded handbooks free to everyone during quarantine, if anyone is interested: https://www.peginc.com/store/helpin-hands-bundle/ We're also using the newly released Foundry VVT, mostly because I wanted to try it out. Bear in mind that 1) I'm a newb at virtual table tops generally, and 2) even moreso with foundry, because my only previous experience was as a player on roll20, so don't hold that against foundry (or do, I don't own stock). https://foundryvtt.com/ Music sources: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9Li3ktFadhg https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-hTOcatCIBQ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-hTOcatCIBQ Tabletopaudio.com : mummy’s tomb and dark continent https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-zvQoPyY2XE https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ujsCRw-eA0o https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NeNhgV1vftw https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pklwi6Sb3R0 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u2jZMYnmvT4

MATT MATT MATT
What is even happening
First of all Sildar, how dare you
Literally can't go tits up
Remember, no russian

THE RED LIGHT IS ON THEREFORE NO ONE CAN HERE ME
WHAT IS IN THE BOX CAN ZACK RESIST THE CALL OF THE BOX?
More D&D. Giant Rats? Good luck Travis.
We've been bored at home too. Instead of pretending to care about X-Wing, here's a D&D Campaign!
