And how many Star Wars games do we have???

Yes.

FFG did a number on some systems with the amount of dice but as for Legion and X-Wing I feel it wasn’t too bad. Max of 4 different symbols that are pretty easily learned. To be honest I would find it much harder to remember numbers that relate to certain results than an actual picture on a die. That being said FFG/AMG could sell those dice for a lot less I reckon.

Sorry. What were we talking about?

I think it was Star Wars but I’m not sure.

But in all seriousness I think rose tinted glasses, nostalgia and the want to relive a part of your life is a big part of the current wave of “old made new”. But at the same time I do look at games with bloated rule sets like W’hamster 40k and I feel “less can be more”. When games morph into simulations it gets tiresome for me to play them. (Hence why we here currently play Battletech with little more than the core rules + clan invasion)

Also: spring clean challenge 2024! Just as I have finished a block of SW:L minis. I updated my project but man did the Project System fight me… almost an hour to get all pictures up an running XD

Sort of a spring clean
