This is a very excited start to what is going to be a very long ARC of Matt and Hunter talking about space games. Today we begin our discussion of the Arcs expansion "The Blighted Reach" aka "Campaign Mode" aka "Arcs: Imperium." What follows is a list of pointers and anecdotes for beginning to think about learning this excellent version of Arcs. While none of it will succinctly teach you how to play the game, it is helpful to hear about the experience of learning this huge game so as to learn it faster, better, and stronger than these two fools ever could have.  Tournament 7 is open for signups now!

Here we are with our penultimate Faction guide and this one is a bit rough, Barony seems to struggle a lot in the data and the boys don't quite get to the bottom of it. There is one thing we are sure of, they're good at fighting, but is it enough? If all else fails I do hope that we inspire someone to figure out exactly how to reliably succeed with our Irish space warlords! Tournament 7 is open for signups now!

This week we reach the end of our Base Game Arcs coverage. The boys sit down to reflect on their feelings before we move forward into the wild world of Campaign Arcs. This one is heavy with feelings and theory and gets only a little bit meta at times. We hope you have enjoyed our coverage of base game Arcs! Looking forward to returning to it sometime in the coming years.   Music provided by Brian Kupillas.  Check out more of his music at: https://wanderinglake.bandcamp.com/ To learn more about our Discord, Patreon, Merch, and more, visit https://spacecatspeaceturtles.com/

Today we have something weird and experimental for you all. While Matt is still in Germany attending Essen we've got Hunter all alone cookin' weirdo soup for the SCPT faithful. This week Hunter is sitting down to listen to the audio from the very first SCPT episode while giving his thoughts, heckles, and commentary. Let's see just how far we've come on this show and with Twilight Imperium.    Tournament 7 is open for signups now!
