Jank It Up, Fuzzball

It's the series finale of Jank it Up, Fuzzball! I tell the story of why I started the pod and all of the unexpected joy it has brought me.

Greg and I sit down together – in the same room! – and discuss playing through a very unique box battle using a most generous gift. We also chat about playing on TTS for over a year but now being really excited to physically roll some dice again. Lastly, we report on our first experience with the Destiny SMASH format developed by Dice Commando, and even crack a couple of packs!

After pulling a Jabba the Hutt from Way of the Force at the end of Episode 34, I decided to dive back into deckbuilding with the Renowned Gangster. How many different dice cards featuring specials can one cram into a deck? Well it's time to find out! I built an updated red version and a brand new blue version to try and stop my skid of losing the Greg. And here's some words you probably never thought you'd hear: Kylo Ren's Starfighter FTW! ---Want to support the podcast and get $30 back for yourself?

What's a person to do with new copies of both Han Solo, Old Swindler and Entourage? Well, build a scoundrel deck, of course! I'm back to talk about my adventures in trying to make Han4/Qi'Ra work in some casual games. You know what they say: Profiteering ain't easy.

I'm back to discuss the concept of building blue, yellow, and red decks around a singular character. Think Neapolitan ice cream, but with Destiny instead. Before that, however, I felt compelled to discuss how and why I asked for – and received – a refund from Fantasy Flight Games for my Destiny Worlds ticket. That money is now being put to far greater good with the Minnesota Freedom Fund. I share some thoughts on Black Lives Matter and discuss wanting to be a better ally and more actively fight against racism. Thanks for tuning in. ---Show Notes:I've made several donations following the death of George Floyd to the Minnesota Freedom Fund, including a recent one in the amount of my Worlds ticket cost. I discussed the Sul Ross statue on the campus of my alma mater, Texas A&M University. Here's an article from the school newspaper about two petitions going around -- one to remove the statue and another to keep it. Lastly, here's a really interesting essay on what racism and white privilege actually mean. ---Jank It Up, Fuzzball is on social media!Twitter: @jankitupInstagram: jankitupfuzzballFacebook: Jank It Up, Fuzzball---Podcast theme music: "District Four" by Kevin MacLeod (incompetech.com)Licensed under Creative Commons: By Attribution 3.0 Licensehttp://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0/

Greg and I are back to discuss our first proper venture in the Awakenings block. We both jumped into Star Wars Destiny during the Legacies cycle, but have since bought a number of older Awakenings era boxes and have finally begun exploring those earlier sets. First up is Spirit of Rebellion, as those boxes have been on our shelves the longest. We discuss cracking packs over Zoom and playing through our boxes over four rounds of play on Tabletop Simulator. We then talk about some of our favorite card pulls from the set, and then close the show as we always do -- by cracking a pack!---Show Notes:Stay safe!

I'm back after a two month hiatus to talk some Star Wars Destiny!

I'm back, and I guess I just couldn't stay away. Covert Missions is finally coming on March 6, and I have one last sizeable giveaway I want to complete before it rolls out. Greg and I are going to play a four-deck tournament using extra janky decks submitted by fans of Jank It Up, Fuzzball! No Legendaries, no uncommons. It's time to truly play some jank.

I share my thoughts on the sudden announcement of Destiny's demise and try to talk myself into being excited for attending Worlds in May. Then, I talk a bit about some decks I've tried out recently and recap a 1/2 box sealed battle I had with Greg using Legacies and the Rivals draft kit. Could my team of Yoda, Wedge Antilles, and a Clone Trooper win the day? After that, I crack some new Spark of Hope booster packs generously donated by both Kingwood Hobbies and Gameshop of Destiny. Bonus: I crack a third pack, given to me by Clare, a fellow Maul player and co-host of the SPLANCHNICS podcast. Lastly, I'm giving away a Maul monochromatic card!
