Space Cats Peace Turtles

This week we've got a weird episode for ya, we went to the Galactic Council to ask them for questions regarding the end of the POK era of the TI. A lot of it involves Hunter and Matt looking back at their 8 years of working on the show but also we've got a discussion at the end that pertains to Matt's continued involvement in the show. It's a bit of a downer but I hope y'all will stick with the show even if Matt will be less involved going forward.

Hunter, Matt, and Dane are all here to talk about the big elephant in the room for the new Twilight Imperium expansion. What exactly is Twilight's Fall? Is it simply an official take on frankendraft? How wildly does it differ from regular Twilight Imperium? Is it the new "real" way to play the game? Did Dane make us two expansions??? ALL THIS AND MORE, WITHIN!

This week we've got a full on FACTION REVEAL. Dane is here to give us a full component reveal of one of the wildest new additions to the faction roster and I couldn't be happier. If you've been wondering who the weird robed figures are on the cover and back of the new box, well it's time to find out what their whole deal is. Special thanks to Dane for bein' my buddy and giving us all the good spoilers. BUT ALSO Ethan over at Cardboard Crash Course is simultaneously revealing a whole different faction too!

This is easily one of the craziest episodes of this podcast we've ever produced. So first up we're going to cover FOUR new Thunder's Edge component teasers because I got to make it up to you for all the weeks I wasn't able to share the new stuff. Then we're going to talk about the new announced Twilight Imperium game "Twilight Imperium Digital" and only after all of that will we get into the meat of the episode where Hunter, Matt, EJ, and some fun guests talk about our shared love for the social deduction game BLOOD ON THE CLOCK TOWER. If you've never played this game before hopefully you'll get a good idea of why people love it and what kinds of gameplay experiences you can find within!

Big Announcement up top so stay tuned for information about upcoming Thunder's Edge teasers! Exciting times to be a Twilight Imperium fan! This week on the show Hunter sits down with Ethan from Carboard Crash Course to chat about what we think the new Mahact filled alternate mode will be. Will it be frankendraft to the letter of the law? Will it disrupt everything? Is it good? None of these questions are fully answered but we did have a great time thinking about it.

This is easily one of the most important episodes of SCPT since the very beginning. This week Hunter and El Blasto sit down to talk piece by piece about every single new component that Fantasy Flight Games has revealed for the upcoming TI4 expansion, THUNDER'S EDGE. Buckle up because this is a long one and there is so much to talk about. Also keep in mind that not all of the components discussed in this episode are fully confirmed however, we tried our best to note each time we talked about the less "concrete" examples.

Today we're rounding out our Codex Four coverage with our final new Galactic Event (It's actually kinda old) Minor Factions! It's a super solid mode that I recommend whole heartedly to anyone who might be a little squeamish about these alternate game modes. It's not too much craziness and there is still plenty of room for classic Twilight Imperium strategy. My guest today is Jadiim Jedi who you might recognize from the Tournament 6 online Finals and the Portland Intergalactical finals from this year.

This week we're talking about what is likely the goofiest of the new Galactic Events! It basically blows the lid off the tech game and enables everyone to lend each other into an apocalypse of SHARING. Our guest this week is El Blasto who was featured in the Finals of our online tournament this year and is also an accomplished streamer and commentator of our beloved game.

This week Hunter sits down with community member Andcat (and frequent merch collaborator) to talk about our experience with the Age of Exploration Galactic event. This is one of the more reasonable events and I think it brings a fun chill experience to the game. We moved the rundown to the end with this episode and you might want to stick around for it if you have missed having Matt in these episodes.
