Plus, with Gen Con literally the day after this episode airs, what everyone is most excited about and looking forward to!

After the Muncie tournament was delayed, Ben and Paul had time to go over the new point changes that released earlier this month. Where they say the game is now, and what they claim got nerfed so bad that it reminded them of the original fall of GAR. Plus, looking to attend or host a store tournament but don't know what to do? We've got you covered! The boys have a few events lined up they're happy to tell you about, and what you should do if you're interested in attending an event or put one on.

Ben and Paul are working for a new client! The new and mysterious figure, Fulcrum, has all kinds of news to give to the boys to talk about, including lots of files on the new release, Ahsoka (wonder how they got these...) the new profile for Chewbacca that can run with the ewoks, and the beginning of a new season of tournaments for Legion! If you've got a new event upcoming and want to prepare, definitely give this new intel a listen!

Come along on a wonderful adventure of laughs, tears, and dice rolls as the boys travel to Adepticon 2023!

With so many adventures and fun to be had, this episode is one of our longest yet! A video recap from Ben will be available on TheTerrainStudio youtube channel soon!

After a profitable and exciting set of missions, Ben and Josh sit down to discuss and review the finer points of the new in-Beta Legion game mode, Special Operations. Afterwards, Ben catches up with Paul to discuss what they expect to see at Adepticon, and Ben even shares how he's definitely cracked the code and totally made what the next guaranteed meta archetype will be.

Paul and Ben cover all sorts of topics today, from Paul's experience in an Escalation League to explaining all the major rule changes that came out in January, and even a glimpse at what awaits the boys (and you!) at Adepticon! If you're looking for more discussion on what exactly has changed with the new rules in Legion, this is a great listen for you!

Setting up for the biggest heist of the year, Ben and Paul review the tools they have at their disposal. They have experience (the Dynamic Exit scenario), they have a lead (new rules leaks for the upcoming ruleset) and they have each other (thus the episode's length). We all from team Dice Time thank you for your support in 2022 and can't wait to make even more awesome fun in 2023!

Without thinking of a better title than combined the two topics of today's discussion, Ben and Paul go over running charity events; how an event Paul ran was able to make a huge donation to a local charity and how it came together! Afterwards, the time has come that AMG announces a new game; Shatterpoint! With the community shattered itself on how they feel about the announcement, the boys dive into what it is, what it means for Legion, and how they plan to go forward!

Today the boys decide to have a heart-to-heart, diving into the relationship between parent and child who both play Star Wars Legion together! Chris Zenga and his son Ethan both join Paul and Ben to talk about their experiences in the hobby together, and what it means for each other to share that dynamic. Plus, we talk about other parents and children that are coming to the game soon; Din Djarin (The Mandalorian), Grogu (his adopted son), IG-11 (who's Grogu's adopted dad) and IG-88 (hey, maybe he's bounty hunting to put bread on the table at home, you don't know...)

Gen Con returns! Paul, Trista, and Ben all kick back to discuss their experience at the best 4 days in gaming! The first section covers the Legion-related topics and events that happened while the gang was at Gen Con (mostly just Ben playing on Thursday), and the rest is everyone's fun and exciting stories from the rest of the weekend! The video version of this episode that's uploaded to youtube at TheTerrainStudio channel has pictures to go alongside the episode, if you'd prefer that version!

On today's episode, the boys talk about their kidnappers; the infamous Pyke Syndicate and the Black Sun. Along with their newly spoiled cards and points, they discuss theory on how to load them and what role they could fill in each faction! Afterwards, they discuss a more serious topic; hobby burnout. What hobby burnout looks like, how it can manifest, and what you should do if you start to feel it!

Ben and Paul talked about the newly leaked Shadow Collective box contents, including what all will be coming out this June for Legion! Plus theory on how mercenary re-works will work, what kinds of lists and units to play with them, entering FNF's first ever TTS league, and Paul's experience at Adepticon!

First they boys talk about the new Skirmish League OP kits and the tournaments they played at. Afterwards, they look at Atomic Mass Games' accomplishments over the course of 2021, and make a list of everything we have to look forward to in 2022! Join us as we celebrate the past year and dive straight into the new one!

Paul and Ben discuss the new point changes that just went live a few weeks ago, and how all of the different factions have changed. Plus, Paul talks about his time driving an AA-5 and what units and upgrades he's been winning his games with. (He's probably not putting the unit you think he is in it!) ;)

Coming back from an amazing weekend at Gen Con 2021, Paul, Ben, and Trista sit down and talk about the people they played and taught Star Wars Legion with! Plus Ben and Trista meet some Star Wars celebrities including Sam Witwer, Matt Lanter, and Matthew Wood!

It's a time of civil unrest in Legion! To answer the cry for help nobody gave them, Ben Jeatran and new host, Paul Watson, have arrived to deliver another awesome year of Dice Time! Today Ben and Paul wrap up Yavin Base Team League, finalize their plans for Gen Con, and talk about the upcoming Ministravaganza! 

In today's episode, Ben and Bob talk about alternate art cards, the process in making them, as well as workshop ideas of how to update some of the least-used units in the game currently. Plus recaps of recent games and events, banter, and wookiee madness! 

"She may not look like much, but she's got it where it counts, kid."

They also invite everyone to see them at Gen Con where Legion will be played on Friday! Finally, the boys discuss different ways to kit out your AA-5 speeder truck and what kinds of roles they can fill in your lists. 

(Sorry for the few days delay, I've had a new job and other things taking up my time, but here we are!) While waiting for their first space-Uber customer, Bob and Ben recount the overwhelming amount of fun they had at Muncie's Unconventional Warfare event. Afterwards, Ben dives into introducing the Yavin Base Team League, and the team he's on; Team LAC-Luster! (Note: During the ban-discussion, it was not touched upon that even though there are only 3 of a given unit per team. There are 4 units that each team can have an unlimited amount of, and that's Rebel Troopers, Stormtroopers, Phase 1 Clone Troopers, and B1 Battle Droids.)

Bob strikes back! On this episode, Bob goes through what NOT to do at a tournament (based on true stories), and him and Ben praise AMG and their new game mode; Unconventional Warfare. What craziness can the guys get up to with these new list-building formats? Only one way to find out... Plus a new winner has been announced for the exclusive Luke Skywalker giveaway! Is it you???

While Bob is away, Ben and hired help Paul dive into the top 3 best, most fun, and most competitive units of the current state of Legion. Then the two have a bit of fun by asking, "If you were in Legion, what unit would you be?". A fun topic we would love to hear your answer for. :)

A day late, but not a dollar short on content, Ben and Bob dive into a busy show of relevant topics of Legion's future! Legion moves from Fantasy Flight Games to Atomic Mass Games, the newest exclusive figure and how they should be handled, as well as the new point changes and erratas! (Note: After time of recording, Luke Eddy was announced to be hired at AMG!)
