      Well, we finally have some news, but it's not the news we wanted. But, we start with our report on our biggest tournament in a while (8 players!), and a breakdown from a special guest on her first Runewars tournament experience. We also give some feedback on our lists and Shane's newest tournament tweaks to see what we thought. Then, of course, on to the news that Runewars OP is shut down. While it doesn't seem to bode well for the future of the game, and we likely won't see any new releases either, the beginnings of a community effort to sustain tournament play have begun. What are the plans so far, and what does it mean for you, the Runewars player? While it's still new, we believe there is some reason to be hopeful. Thanks for listening!

    We've made it to the end...of 2018. In our last episode for the year, we start with a look back at our recent tournament. Shane got to use some crazy Latari shenanigans, Josh played the list that Discord gave him, and JJ beat both of them. Find out how our new scoring system and tournament setup ideas worked and what we liked from our lists (hint: Entrancing Gaze).   We also take a further look back to the big four tournaments from this year that we have results for: U.S. Nationals, U.K. Nationals, North American Championships and Worlds. What overall trend did we see in these tournaments, where do we think that puts us competitively, and what can we look forward to next year? Happy Holidays to those who celebrate, and for those who don't, we hope you enjoy the season. Catch you all in 2019!

    It's late, and I'm tired. What the FAQ did we talk about? I think there were some FAQing articles...oh yeah, Prince F (and his new nickname) and the Obscenes. We definitely talked about those. There was something else that we added in at the last FAQing minute...what was it? Oh yeah, the new tournament regulations (quad party tents!). Hmm...seems like that wasn't all. OH YEAH NEW FAQ! After a long time, we finally have clarification on a ton of things, thanks FFG (completely unironically).  Players going in to Worlds got a ton of questions answered...almost everything. We answer the only big question I know of still with help from a sentence diagram.

    So yeah, about this episode. We had some file issues with the original recording, so Josh did his best to recreate the initial part of the episode. Imagine the usual podcast, but with less humor and insight. The first part is a look at Baron Z's new article, a brief mention of new release schedule, and a look at how Regionals results point to Uthuk being the faction to beat. Then the part that did work, where all three of us look at a few specific things from the US and UK Regionals as we close in on the end of the season.
