Toys in general are pretty expensive nowadays. Especially toys made of decent to good plastic.

anything made outside of industrial shitholes like china and india is going to be expensive

because you're paying real people wages, rather than slave labour

Sweet merciful Jesus, what is this shit

(Shit, forgot to turn off my /qst/ name)

Premise:
It's the 1970's in the United States, but the time is not our own. After the death of President
Eisenhower in 1960, his Vice President, Richard Nixon took office. After a plague struck the U.S.,
Nixon called upon Emergency Powers and has been in office ever since.
Technology and aesthetics haven't changed much from the late 50's to early 60's.
By day, life is very Leave it to Beaver. Nuclear families, tract housing, mom is in the kitchen, dad
reads the paper while smoking his pipe, little Jimmy mows the lawn for money to go to the malt
shop. But there is something wrong with this idealized American setting. Everyone is home and
shuttered by 7, asleep by 8. Strange tales about those who venture out after dark. Some
disappear, others are found mutilated, some that are lucky enough to survive tell stories about
strange sightings. Creatures go bump. Aliens. Cultists. Mad Scientists. Monsters. All sorts of
strangeness runs wild in the streets at night.

But there are those who stand in the dark of night to oppose it. The misfits of society. The Greasers, The Punks, The Rockabillies, The Psychobillies, The Luchadores, The Cowboys, The Bikers, Amazonian Women, and other misfits stand in the way between the forces of evil and the common man.

Setting Stuff
Magic-
The Arcane is alive and well in this setting. Ritual Magic and Voodoo is popular amongst those who
serve the darkness. However, amongst the misfits, a new form of magic has taken shape. Instead of lengthy rituals, or arcane words and gestures, The Rockabillies and The Punks have developed magic by playing
certain notes and chords on their guitars. One of the most powerful guitar mages on the side of good is known as The Man in Black.The side of the darkness can also claim a few guitar mages on their side. When 2 guitar mages meet in combat, expect epic guitar duels.

Expect Arcane Edges to deal with this.

Hot Rods-
The Greasers have always modified and tricked out their hot rods. Even more so now, that they
often have to use their cars to battle, outrun, or race with the devil.
Expect rules for souping up your ride.

Luchadores-
The masked men from south of the border lend their expertise in hand to hand combat, and their
long history of facing off with the supernatural also comes in handy.
Grappling Edges!
And more stuff!

Quite literally everything confused me when I started, and it took me quite a bit of digging through threads and examples of play before I really got a hang of the system.

I think a lot of strangeness of the game is that a lot of things just sort of happen unceremoniously; you're the one who decides when something happens and how exactly you make something happen. Of course the idea is that you still play to your characters capabilities, and the point isn't that you do the cool thing and are really cool doing it and there's nothing else to do- the point is building a scene together, and everyone gets to put their two cents in.

The game rewards your cooperation and creativeness with mechanical bonuses, its not a game for mindlessly rolling dice against each other and counting beans to see whose won- you literally have to out think your opponent and are rewarded for doing so.

It's also quite nice that the fluff is open enough to become almost anything you want, limited entirely by the Rule of Cool.

tl;dr - it's pretty fucking good and it's titles are pretty fucking good, and combined with Sloane the "staple" TIEs are going to be fantastic now. It's got the upgrade slots for some egregiously unnecessary levels of squadron firepower. The upgrades also help some other Imperial ships move up a notch, like the VSD-II and the Interdictor.

>I-Class
>54 points
>one weapons team, two offensive slots
>3/2/1 blue dice
>1 blue flack

>II-Class
>61 points
>two weapons team, one offensive slot
>2R 1U / 1R 1U / 1U dice
>1 red flack

>Both:
>2/2/1 shield
>6 hull
>1 brace, 1 redirect
>2/4/2 command / squad / repair
>max speed 3

>Titles
>Pursuant: discard to automatically resolve a squadron dial (you still can use your normal dial), 2 points
>Squall: when you activate, 3 unengaged friendly squadrons can move up to distance 2, but can't end that movement engaged, 3 points
>(Yes, Rhymer can now nosepunch you from the next table over)
>Stronghold: friendly squadrons with swarm at distance 1-2 count as obstructed while defending

>Upgrades
>Disposable Capacitors: offensive slot, small or medium ships only, discard to make your blue dice work at long range this activation, 3 points
>•The Grand Inquisitor: imperial officer, when enemy ship within 5 changes speed, you can change your speed by 1, 4 points
>Quad Battery Turrets: text not revealed, also will come (two copies) in the Hammerhead box, 5 points
>Sloane + Boarding Troopers from the wave announcement

I'm glad these have good upgrade slots and titles, if they didn't they wouldn't be able to compete with 2 gozantis for less points on squad pushing duty.

I thought they'd be cheaper though, given how squishy they are.

Looks like the Empire is right back to ships without support teams or defensive retrofits.

Aasimar, Tieflings, Half-Giants, Half-Elves, Elves, and a brewed Half-dragon race.

Probably pretty close to freeform. Something for each class and aspect, and... that's really about it.

Shit gets weird.

I've always found the whole tau rebel against tau thing to be kinda a silly addon made by the real tau fans because the old tau had SOME grim elements to them.

In a setting where people are sapient, why are people okay with their leaders oppressing them?

It is because Lion King is Hamlet.

Just because you make a claim embedded in a question doesn't make the claim true.

>The moon is not made of cheese.

Set a lots of traps, coat them in waste or poison to ensure extra lethality.

Well the standard baddies will be a wage of chaos space marines eternally eager for ear, chals daemons, tyranids, orks, craftworld and dark eldar, tau, and necrons.

The party decides to lure the enemy in and nuke everything from orbit. It's the only way to be sure.
