We kick off our Root tournament this weekend, which means the show is about to get crazy busy! So, we decided it was important to set the table for 2021 and go over how we plan to structure future episodes as well as the changes made to the Patreon.   Music provided by Ben Prunty.

This year’s Holiday Spectacular stream took a lot out of us, and there are so many other things going on that we have a rather short episode for you. It’s a salt filled trip taking a look at what happened, and how we intend to get even next year...   Music provided by Ben Prunty.

It is a time-honored tradition around these parts to wrap up the year with a Faction Tier List. But the whole game just changed and there’s no way any of our thoughts are going to be any good in a year, so we decided to get a little loose with this year’s tier list. So, we present the 100% First Annual Prophecy of Kings Faction Tier List but it’s not a tier list, it’s a Hootenanny, and it is infallible and perfect. #NailedIt   Music provided by Ben Prunty.

This is a weird one, brought to you by our Galactic Council patrons! It’s the return of the infamous Flagship Tournament, where all of the flagships fight in head to head matches with arbitrary complicated rules! Who will be crowned the greatest flagship of them all? Jokes on you, we rigged it! Anyways, this episode is also available in video form on our YouTube and I highly encourage you to go experience it there!   Music provided by Ben Prunty.

Tournament Season is officially on the horizon, and to get things moving, we have business to attend to! This episode covers everything you need to know to get signed up for the upcoming Root tournament as well as loads of information about the 2021 SCPT Twilight Imperium Patreon Tournament. We talk new draft rules, the new time limit rules, and a bit about the Prelims map. I hope you like tournaments, because THAT’S MY WHOLE LIFE NOW.   Music provided by Ben Prunty.

Prophecy of Kings has officially released and to commemorate it, Alec sat down for another Fireside Chat, this time with Dane Beltrami himself! Dane is no stranger to the show, but this is a wonderful casual interview that dives a bit deeper into game development and Dane's insights on the game we all know and love.

It’s bookkeeping day! We’ve got some upcoming tournaments that we wanted to talk about. But that’s not all! With copies of Prophecy of Kings officially out in the wild, we wanted to talk about what we anticipate as players and and as content creators in the Twilight Imperium scene. We talk show goals as well as personal goals for a post-expansion era of SCPT.    Music provided by Ben Prunty.

It feels like forever since we let this show get weird, y’know? Well, today is a weird one. Copies of Prophecy of Kings are shipping to many people this week, which means it’s time to put the final nail in base game’s coffin by assigning every faction a rank! We’re done with subjective tier lists, it’s time to give you the meat you’ve always craved. We took all 17 base game factions and definitively determined the exact order of power. There’s a lot of exact and perfect science in this episode, so I hope your mind can handle it...   Music provided by Ben Prunty.

With all that messy Twilight Imperium business behind us, we can return to the real work. And it is WORK. This week, we have a guide for “the worst faction” in Root, The Lizard Cult. Despite their setbacks, they’re incredibly fun, and hopefully we can help you unlock their potential. Just give us a chance!   12:07 - Abilities 15:24 - Setup 22:39 - Birdsong 29:33 - Daylight 37:50 - Evening 41:55 - Opening Ideas 47:59 - Crafty Corner 1:07:25 - Pitfalls 1:11:25 - Where we find our victory   Music by Brian Kupillas.

As part of our 24 hour Extra Life livestream, we recorded this episode LIVE with surprise guest Dane Beltrami. It has a looser structure than you might be used to, but we say goodbye to things we will and won’t miss from a TI4 that lacks Prophecy of Kings, and talk a bit about the things we’re most excited for. The audio is a little bit rough in this one, apologies!   Music provided by Ben Prunty.
