247: Flagship Tournament 3
May 18, 2022 05:00 - 1 hour - 152 MBOH NO! There's a new flagship which means we could waste no time in bringing you everyone's favorite digestible audio content: the Flagship Tournament. This year the rules are even more arbitrary and honestly I edit over a lot of it, so just...you just hang in there okay? Also there is a video of this exact same episode that you may find more consumable. Here it is: https://youtu.be/h2qA5S_EIIM Music provided by Ben Prunty.

246: Theorycrafting the Council Keleres
May 11, 2022 04:38 - 1 hour - 161 MBCodex 3: Vigil is finally proven to be real and we were (mostly) not lying! The biggest introduction is the 25th faction to Twilight Imperium, The Council Keleres. So rather than give you an episode overviewing the codex, this topic is big enough to break away and just sit down to theorycraft what we think will be the right moves to make with the Keleres.

245: Community Plays TI w/ MySonIsAlsoNamedBort
May 04, 2022 05:00 - 1 hour - 96.2 MBThe Galactic Council is being a bit self-indulgent this month. This episode is detailing the exploits of the very chaotic Community Plays TI discord server. Set up to allow multiple people to simultaneously operate one faction in a play by forum format, these games immediate devolve into memes and inexplicable choices and we are all the better for it. If you want to play in the Community game, visit https://discord.gg/5sjPPXEPhH To see the wedding ceremony referenced in this episode: https...
244: Root Winter Tournament 2021 (w/ LilyG and Guerric)
April 27, 2022 05:00 - 56 minutes - 77.1 MBThe Root Winter Tournament has been going on since November of 2021, and it finally has a Championship match in sight. To celebrate and prepare you all to go check out that game, we brought on Guerric and Lily to walk us through how the tournament has gone so far and what Root even looks like these days! Turns out the game keeps getting smarter and smarter, leaving Matt and Hunter in the dust. Looks like we'll have to become the Beavis and Butthead of Root... Watch the Root Finals Sunday, M...
243: History of TI - 3rd Edition
April 20, 2022 05:00 - 1 hour - 147 MBWe wanted to get nostalgic and talk about how far we've come. What was going to be a general overview decided to get more narrow. So today, we're talking about the history of 3rd Edition and how it improved on what came before but also paved the path for 4th Edition. We'd love to give the same treatment going forward to 2nd and 1st edition, so consider this the start of a mini-series we'll return to over time! Music provided by Ben Prunty.

242: A Glossary to Twilight Imperium
April 13, 2022 05:00 - 1 hour - 135 MBThe kind of content we design for newer players changes over time, and this particular episode is probably a long time overdue. As the community has grown and analysis has solidified, a lot of terms have started to stick in place. Some of them are logical expressions of ideas, some of them or horrible tangentially related jokes about a concept. None of this makes it any easier for a newcomer, so it's finally time we put together a proper glossary of these terms. Music provided by Ben Prunty...
241: Vuil’raith Cabal Anecdotes
April 07, 2022 03:38 - 1 hour - 116 MBWe're continuing our investigation of the Vuil'raith Cabal, and today seemed like a good chance to do a progress report. We come to you not with highly analyzed takeaways, but instead a handful of notes and anecdotes that we're gradually using to build a case for Cabal. Think of this like us "showing our work" when it comes to experimenting with factions. Music provided by Ben Prunty.

240: Codex 3 is Real with Dane Beltrami
April 01, 2022 04:00 - 1 hour - 95 MBWowee, what a treat. Our dearest friend and board game designer Dane is here to present the upcoming release of Codex 3: Vigil! There's a slew of new things packed in it, most notably an ENTIRE NEW FACTION. We cover it all in some broad strokes, and reveal a few specific components. This is slated to drop later in April, which we had too much fun while recording to remember to mention. GET HYPE! Music provided by Ben Prunty.

239: Matt’s Ultimate and Hunter’s Normal Top 10 Board Games
March 24, 2022 19:39 - 1 hour - 114 MBThis is a Galactic Council episode. I repeat, this is a Galactic Council episode. There are many, many places out there where you can get this kind of content, but today you're stuck with these two idiots. I would say that no one asked for this, but turns out a sizable enough percentage of patrons did, so here we are. Here's some top 10 lists from two guys who have not played nearly enough board games for you to take their opinions very seriously. Music provided by Ben Prunty. Find more at ...

238: A Guide to People
March 16, 2022 05:00 - 1 hour - 104 MBAre you a new or experience player trying to find a new group to play with? Or are you scheduling a game and decided to invite a new friend to join your typical group? Maybe you're looking to play online for the first time casually or in a tournament. Well we hope this episode can be a resource for you. In it we discuss what it's like to join a game with strangers and how to navigate the tricky social balances of Twilight Imperium. The Superbowl of Board Games is a pretty wild way to meet so...
237: Theorycrafting Vuil’raith Cabal
March 09, 2022 06:00 - 1 hour - 117 MBEnter "Season....3? 4. 3?" It's a new arc of the show where we, you guessed it, dive deep into the board game Twilight Imperium. How deep? Well now we plan to do cover a single faction over the course of numerous weeks. We don't anticipate every faction getting the same structure, but we're starting with Vuil'raith Cabal and they're in a bit of a rough position currently. So, to begin their journey, we decided we'd need to throw the playbook out and theorycraft new and crazy idea. Join us, w...

236: The Prelims are Here
March 02, 2022 06:20 - 1 hour - 109 MBThis coming weekend will conclude the massive 2022 Patreon Tournament Qualifiers. 480 players have competed in 80 games and now those winners will match up against our 136 players who received a bye into the Prelims. So how will those Prelim games differ from the Qualifiers? And more important, how is one expected to WIN one of those confounded games? Well we got answers to BOTH questions today, so lucky you!!

235: Qualifier Report with Stads
February 23, 2022 06:00 - 1 hour - 127 MBThe Galactic Council chose the right option this month! The Qualifiers have been raging in the background and we haven't done any sort of overview of how it's been going. But Stads over at The Qualifier Report has been keeping up with EVERYTHING and is here to spill the details. We chat statistics, share some stories, tell you some of the best games to seek out, and play a quiz show about some of the craziest things to happen in the tournament so far! To watch almost every game of the 2022 ...
234: Preliminary Guide to Xxcha Kingdom and Preliminary Guide Finale
February 16, 2022 06:00 - 1 hour - 137 MBThis is our 17th base game faction to update for Prophecy of Kings and our 24th faction to cover since the release. Which means we've DONE IT. Consider this one a season finale for the "Introduction to Prophecy of Kings," which means now the real show can begin. It's a long winding road ahead, but let's make sure we give the Peace Turtles their time to show in this conclusion to the last year and a half. Music provided by Ben Prunty.

233: Should It War Sun?
February 09, 2022 06:00 - 1 hour - 153 MBWe're almost done with this phase of strategy guides and as we wrap up we though it'd be fun to take the temperature of something we've been thinking a lot about. Prophecy of Kings added a lot of things that made people excited for War Suns again, the question is if it actually fulfilled the promise. So today, we're going to explore the viability of War Suns for all 24 factions! Music provided by Ben Prunty. Find more at benpruntymusic.com or benprunty.bandcamp.com To learn more about our ...
232: Preliminary Guide to Ghosts of Creuss and the Arborec
February 02, 2022 06:00 - 1 hour - 157 MBWe're tackling some bottom tier factions today, which means it's time to let loose a little and have fun. You're probably not finding a win with these factions most games ANYWAYS, but how can you still have a decent time? Well, we'll question what it means to play ethically and I'm sure you won't be surprised which of us believes ethical play is important and which doesn't. Let's call this one "the episode where all of the die hard faction fans will get mad at us." Music provided by Ben Pru...
231: Expansion Wishlist 2
January 26, 2022 06:00 - 1 hour - 143 MBThe Galactic Council gave us a tall order this month. We are tasked with doing Dane Beltrami's job and designing a SECOND potential expansion for Twilight Imperium. Prophecy of Kings covered a LOT of ground and it's hard to say anything else even should be added, but here's some brainstorming for ya anyways! Music provided by Ben Prunty.

230: Preliminary Guide to Universities of Jol-Nar and the Mentak Coalition
January 19, 2022 06:00 - 2 hours - 172 MBWe're nearing the end of our preliminary guides and today we get to NOT talk about blue tech! Jol-Nar is regarded as one of the higher tier factions, depending on who you ask, and it's primarily due to their monumental amount of flexibility when it comes to tech and defenses. Mentak are seemingly the opposite when it comes to flexibility; these days it's Mirror Computing or bust! Music provided by Ben Prunty.

229: Patreon Updates, Tournament Predictions, and What It Would Like if We Were Wrong Hootenanny
January 12, 2022 04:13 - 1 hour - 99.2 MBIt's a new year, so we wanted to do some quick Patreon bookkeeping to update everyone on our plans for 2022! Additionally, we wanted to react to and synthesize some errata from last week's faction hootenanny and talk about what the dream world scenario where we are wrong would look like and how various factions might perform differently than what our tier list suggested. Finally there's some very stupid tournament predictions for everyone to keep track of and hold us to, so that should be fu...
A Message Regarding Tabletop Simulator
January 10, 2022 18:14 - 18 minutes - 25.7 MBCW: Discrimination This is not your regularly scheduled episode of SCPT. Some events took place over the weekend regarding Tabletop Simulator and it's developer, Berserk Games. We felt it was necessary to catch everyone up to speed and to make our intents and desires clear. This conversation deals with topics of discrimination in the board gaming community. We hope everyone will listen closely and join us in doing everything we can to make every Twilight Imperium table a safe one for all pl...
228: 200% 2nd Annual Prophecy of Kings Faction Tier List but It’s NOT a Tier List, It’s a Cookbook and You Better Be Hungry
January 05, 2022 06:00 - 1 hour - 141 MBIT'S A NEW YEAR which means it's time for a new Faction Tier list. This is our annual tradition around here to redefine how we perceive the meta going into the new tournament. Last year's list was a bit of a goof considering how much we knew we didn't know about the game. But we've learned a lot since then, so we can definitely say this one is DEFINITIVE. You're welcome to disagree with our tiers, but you will be capital-W "Wrong." Music provided by Ben Prunty. Find more at benpruntymusic.c...
227: Holiday Spectacular - Survivor Edition
December 29, 2021 06:00 - 38 minutes - 53 MBHere's a quick one for your Holiday and New Year ears. We talk about the attempted goofy game we played with our friends and what went wrong. We hope to do it again though, so this was just the preview for how good Survivor: Twilight Imperium can be. Music provided by Ben Prunty.

226: Round One Negotiations
December 24, 2021 02:27 - 1 hour - 94.9 MBIt's almost holiday time, but we have a Galactic Council episode to attend to first! This month, the Sidereal Confluence coalition was betrayed and we instead saw Round One Negotiations rise to the top, which is a perfect opportunity to return to the basics of how to get all the things you want round one, and determining what those wants even are! If only the galactic council was better at negotiating their way into functioning coalitions... Music provided by Ben Prunty. Find more at benpru...

225: 2022 Tournament Structure
December 15, 2021 06:00 - 59 minutes - 82.1 MBWell normally I would think an episode like this isn't gonna attract that many listeners, but SO MANY OF YOU signed up for next year's tournament that this announcement episode became a pretty important thing. In it we detail how we will get through the 2022 Patreon Tournament, with an emphasis on the Qualifiers, as well as some discussion on the structure and rules that will be in place in the games themselves. Thank you again to everyone who signed up, you have blown us away with your supp...
224: Preliminary Guide to Yssaril Tribes and Embers of Muaat
December 08, 2021 06:00 - 1 hour - 150 MBThe theme of this week's Preliminary Guide is "The Big Stick." We've got two factions who can pack a big punch, but don't always have the point acquisition to make a successful game. Neither are "bad" factions, but there are tricks to both, and it can be hard to navigate their toolsets to find a victory. The best part of all: we don't talk about blue tech very much! So come listen just for that! Rasmus' Muaat Guide: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1ltvKIXpCXY5qTXZ4rxCWHIfFQNvGzNdO6L2cZPA...
Radiolore - Rex: Final Days of an Empire

223: Rex Final Days of an Empire
December 01, 2021 06:00 - 2 hours - 166 MBThe galactic council worked together this month to give us a real treat! It's lore time and we're kicking it off with some lore that's slightly harder to get a hold of: the board game Rex: Final Days of an Empire. We're taking a look at the little clues into factions thousands of years before the setting of Twilight Imperium and during the fall of the Lazax Empire. It's a fun little ride with Matt's best attempts at some stupid accents as well as a wonderfully difficult quiz provided by the ...
222: Preliminary Guide to Sol and Sardakk N‘orr
November 24, 2021 06:00 - 1 hour - 134 MBThere's gonna be a lot of chatter about ground forces today. We're looking at two sides of the really tough infantry coin in Federation of Sol (Good) and Sardakk N'orr (Bad). (Yin is the Ugly) Some say Sol doesn't even need a guide, so we made an attempt to make that half of the episode for especially new players looking for a good beginner faction. Sardakk is a considerably more difficult nut to crack, however. Music provided by Ben Prunty. Find more at benpruntymusic.com or benprunty.band...
221: The Necropolis Empire with Absol
November 17, 2021 06:00 - 1 hour - 91.2 MBHunter is out this week, and we took the opportunity to bring on noted lore aficionado, Absol! She and Matt both read the second Twilight Imperium novel by Tim Pratt, The Necropolis Empire. So here is our review, overview, as well as some lore implications of this especially good adventure sci-fi story! Music provided by Ben Prunty.

220: Winmaking Roundtable w/ teddysjamforyou, TheDeftPiper, and patience_is_a_virtue
November 10, 2021 06:00 - 1 hour - 135 MBWell we've teased this idea for many weeks now and finally were able to gather a panel to discuss winmaking. Our thoughts were outlined in depth in episode 203, but this topic bring about different feelings for everyone. So we decided to sit with three prominent players with many different takes on what constitutes winmaking and whether or not we should care. teddysjamforyou is the champion of this year's Patreon Tournament is primarily a player who chooses to follow bliss an fun. TheDeftPip...
219: This Imperium Life 6
November 03, 2021 06:00 - 1 hour - 92.9 MBIT'S BACK! Over 100 episodes have gone by since our last iteration of This Imperium Life, the show written by all of YOU. We stopped doing it when we felt like the base game well had run a bit dry, but with Prophecy of Kings having been out essentially an entire year, we've been collecting lots of your stories of your best moments in TI! Here are just SOME of our favorites. Music provided by Ben Prunty. Find more at benpruntymusic.com or benprunty.bandcamp.com To learn more about our...
218: Preliminary Guide to Hacan and L1z1x
October 27, 2021 06:00 - 1 hour - 140 MBDespite the hype of the ongoing Invitational Tournament, we're still out here working on your preliminary faction guides. Up this week are two polar opposites: the infinite variable that is the Emirates of Hacan next to the fairly understood and simple L1Z1X Mindnet. The Hacan side of things is wildly open-ended, so be nice. You've got some concrete L1 advice, so count your blessings! Music provided by Ben Prunty.

217: Tech Tier List
October 20, 2021 12:31 - 2 hours - 181 MBCan the Galactic Council ever be appeased? Likely not, but we're here to do our civic duty and provide them with the second of the two tied options from last month. Here is EVERY SINGLE TECH, tiered and feared. No contradicting opinions necessary. We nailed it. Music provided by Ben Prunty.

216: Miltydraft and Invitational Hype
October 13, 2021 06:00 - 1 hour - 88.8 MBOur special event, the Invitational Tournament, is upon us and before the games begin we wanted to go over the draft structure we'll be using. We're taking an existing community draft procedure called Miltydraft and making some slight modifications. So before we talk about our version, it's important to set the stage by going over the basics of why Miltydraft is so popular! Music provided by Ben Prunty.

215: Preliminary Guide to Winnu and Clan of Saar
October 06, 2021 06:00 - 2 hours - 170 MBWhat a world we're in. This time last year, if we'd packaged the Winnu and Clan of Saar into an episode together, it would have been to showcase the two polar opposites of Twilight Imperium. But now, the two sing some similar songs and often times feel like sides of the same coin. Winnu has risen to be quite the powerhouse, and Clan of Saar has kept up the pace just fine. So, how do these two factions operate these days and what strategies are we trying out in this post-PoK landscape? Let's ...
214: Improvise a Twilight Imperium Scenario
September 29, 2021 06:00 - 1 hour - 103 MBWar were declared. For the second month in a row, the Galactic Council has gone rogue and tied our two poll options. So, for this month, we're just doing one of them and I guess we'll do the other later or something. So for now, here's Matt and Hunter improvising a scenario mode for Twilight Imperium, a la Alliance mode or the Shard of the Throne scenario from TI3. Is it chaotic? Yes. Is it playable? I make no promises. We also cheat a little and talk about an additional scenario we intend t...
213: Fireside Chats with Bott Bott
September 22, 2021 06:00 - 1 hour - 128 MBHunter is moving back to Portland this week, which meant something fun to squeeze in while he's gone. What better than returning to everyone's favorite interview series Fireside Chats with Root (Alec). This one gets extra confusing because Root sat down with a major member of the Root board game community, Bott Bott, to pick his brain about all things Twilight Imperium, Root, and Oath (and also Pax games, Lord of the Rings Risk, Stratego, you name it! This is a delightful discussion with a f...

Old Gamer's Almanac is the definitive ranking of all video games ever, one week at a time. We know how much this audience likes lists, and we've made the lifelong commitment to playing every video game that exists in order to accurately rank them. If the video game industry would just stop for a bit while we catch up, that would make it a lot easier. Please subscribe to the new show by going to ht...
212: Oath So Far
September 15, 2021 06:00 - 1 hour - 91.3 MBHunter is about to move away, and we wanted to take the time to reminisce on the ongoing game of Oath we've been able to play while in the same region. We break down our thoughts about the strategy and our game's specific evolving story. Before that is some errata for our episode on Agendas, as well as a very special announcement regarding a new show we've been working on! Stick around next week for the premiere of Old Gamer's Almanac! 8:47 - Twilight Imperium Talk 21:17 - Oath Talk Music...
211: PoK Agendas and Invitational Announcement
September 08, 2021 12:08 - 2 hours - 189 MBIt feels like ages since we’ve had a proper episode in which we just sit and read every card. Our original Agendas episode was among our longest episodes, and was one of our first component focused episodes. But a lot has been learned and a lot has changed since then, so we figured it was time to revisit the topic of Agendas. Additionally, we get to announce our next big project! We’re going to be holding an Invitational Tournament in October, comprised of 36 players from the previous 3 ...
210: Preliminary Guide to Yin Brotherhood and Nekro Virus
September 01, 2021 06:00 - 1 hour - 130 MBThis week, we're tearing through a couple more factions as we try to lay some framework to better understand how the base game factions have changed since Prophecy of Kings released. How far have the Yin fallen? How high have the Nekro risen? Whose ground forces are best? Hint: it's not the faction that it SHOULD be... 0:00 - Yin Brotherhood 52:59 - Nekro Virus Music provided by Ben Prunty.

209: Preliminary Guide to Barony of Letnev and Naalu Collective
August 25, 2021 11:56 - 1 hour - 126 MBWe're finally able to dive into the future of Faction Guides, and this is what we have to start with. This won't be exhaustive, but it's a first pass to see where the base game factions are falling in the grander scheme of PoK. Consider these opening ideas that lay the framework for future, more thorough guides about specific strategies within each faction. Up first, the underrated Barony of Letnev and the nosedive into irrelevancy that is the Naalu Collective! 0:00 - Barony of Letnev 4...
