    BigKahuna got a reaction from emsgoof in What is your experience with other games switching to new editions?   
    Interesting topic.
    I have been into various types of table top gaming since about 1984 and have gone through quite of few of these sort of "New Edition" moves.
    Without going into too many specifics in general the outcome of new editions is almost always the same.
    1. Outcry.  No matter what anyone ever does, the initial reaction from the vocal minority is a complete breakdown of civil conversation, typically driven by outrage over the whole thing.  People simply always find fault with whatever approach is used and they are not particularly nice about it.  Simultaneously the defenders come out in grove on the opposite spectrum, crapping on the old edition, and defending whatever the new thing like no wrong could ever be done by the designers/publishers.
    2. Fabricated or Real depreciation of the game.  Typically either stories of a games imminent demise are made up or they are actual real, but a new edition is a risk because in introducing it a publisher effectively kills the old game, if the new one is not as good, the outcome can be disastrous.  Even if its not however, the "tale" of it being terrible can actually effect the community and act almost as a kind of self fulfilling prophecy.
    3. Endurance:  Eventually the new edition edition endures and typically happens regardless of whether or not the game is actually successful, this is usually because 2nd edition tend to be better funded, riding on the success of the 1st and publishers are very reluctant to accept failure so good or bad game, it will get the "this is better" treatment from the developer and will be marketed and pushed hard win or lose.
    In the end however a good game will be successful, a bad one won't be.  Gamers are a finicky and bitchy bunch, but they are gamers and the old field of dreams proverb "if you build it they will come" applies.  A good game will always find a community and a bad one no matter the hype or full court press by the publisher will fail, the harder its pushed the more spectacular the failure.
    So by example I would say some of the big success have been games like Warhammer 40k.  It really had a rough ride for a long time with a lot of mediocre to terrible editions, but the current edition has been really well received and despite all the insistence by the community that the game was doomed, its currently seeing an entirely new golden age.  There are more people playing 40k right now than I have seen in over a decade, its second only to X-Wing right now.
    An example of one of the more spectacular failures was 4th edition Dungeons and Dragons.  I have literally in my 30 years of gaming never seen a company take a auto-win franchise like D&D and fail so spectacularly, to the point that it not only almost sunk the franchise but the companies it was associated with.  It failed so bad it gave birth to what is now one of the biggest competitors for the top spot in role-playing (Paizo's Pathfinder).  Universally hated by the community, its failure was predicted long before it went to the presses and despite an enormous effort by Wizard of the Coast pushing it like it was solid gold, even trying to relaunch it with a sub-edition called "Essentials" it is without question one of the miserable failures in role-playing history.  Strangely however, 5th edition D&D is probably one of the greatest recovery stories in role-playing as well worth a mention.
    There are plenty of examples but I think from a standpoint of statistics, new editions of a game have a better record of being successful, than not, but that is mostly just an eyeball observation, not sure how accurate that actually is.

    You know I'm kind of in the same boat.  I fully support everything they are doing in 2.0, but yeah at this point I don't really see myself buying anything for 1.0 just because it comes with the overhead of having to convert it later.  As it stands I'm on the line for 250 bucks to convert my collection and get it 2.0 ready, adding more ships just means that whatever ship I buy, I have to make sure its either covered by the conversion kit I'm already getting or I may need to buy additional conversion kits which kind of kills whatever discount you might get for buying into 1.0.  I don't plan on playing any X-Wing at all until 2.0 comes out, so its a dead game until then and really I kind of want whatever new versions of 1.0 models come out .. So for example I'm interested in getting another K-Wing but at this point, the conversion kit only covers the one I have and if and when they re-release the K-Wing they may have a new model so I don't really want to get the 1.0 version.  
    So yeah, this announcement pretty much put X-Wing back on the shelf until 2.0 comes out and put a full stop on any purchases until then for me.

    I find it interesting that 8th edition 40k has so many negative comments.  I would not have expected that.  In my area, 40k is booming right now, being hailed as one of the best editions of the game in living memory.
    I think there is something to be said about game aging as well, I do believe that over the years, with developments in game design, product design and business model design, many games have aged pretty badly.  One place I can see that is in games like Battletech for example where the rules have never been streamlined all that much since it's 84 release.  For a game to take 5-6+ hours just to resolve a battle, using character sheets and stuff like that, even the latest and greatest from Battletech feels like its a game from another time to me.
    I think one thing X-Wing has going for it is that it's still very much a modernly designed game, in many ways, its X-Wing and FFG in general that is pushing miniature table top gaming design modernization.  Concepts like card upgrades for example is becoming more and more common in games coming out today.  Thought to length of play and creating games for organised play as part of its design, ditching concepts like 600 page rulebooks and focusing miniature games on being more approachable.. these are all things FFG has done for the model of how miniature games are made today.  Many of the old school games like 40k really still have this rather archaic approach with very little streamlining done from the perspective of table top play that really gives games like X-Wing the edge.
    For me though X-Wing was never really a particularly great game for competitive play mainly because there was far too much randomness in the game.  I always felt it worked far better as a casual game.

    BigKahuna got a reaction from Darth Rubi in How much does it really cost to convert 1st edition; actual arithmetic, not just my collection (and crying about how many ships I have)   
    Yeah we will have to agree to disagree on that obvservation, every single one of those games you just mentioned have communities begging developers to make a new versions of their favorite game and they would abandon their collections/game for new/updated content if available so fast it would make your head spin.  These communities aren't built because they love the old editions, or that there is some sort of old school movement,  they are built as a result of the lack of a new edition and support which they all wish they could get.
    A beloved game going OOP is pretty much the worst thing that can happen to a community, it means they are locked permanently into a permanent meta state and forced to a 3rd party market, with content slowly becoming more expensive and less available.  Its why communities built around OOP games are so tiny, most of us have more facebook friends then make up the entire community.
    The ideal situation is always a new edition, it refreshes the game, shows commitment from the developer and typically is driven by years of experience with the previous edition giving it a huge edge over the previous edition.  There is a cost associated with it for the consumers,  and lets face it, this is the part everyone is kind of irritated at, but everyone will get over it.  The worst thing that could happen for X-Wing is for the developers to just shut it down.  The first thing that would die overnight is the entire event/tournament scene as people abandon the game in mass looking for greener pastures which is effectively the same thing that would happen if they released a bad second edition, but at least with a second edition there is a chance they will get it right and revitalize the community and the game.  To claim that there is some benefit to a game going out of print is just plainly silly, its all bad, always, there is literally nothing positive that comes out of it.

    I think you have to make peace with and understand the real situation here.  The vast majority of the X-Wing fan base loves X-Wing, but they recognize that in its current state its irreversibly broken as a game, a situation that has created a tremendous amount of frustration at competitive and casual events alike and taken a lot of the steam out of the fun and joy of the game.  A situation that FFG has recognized, acknowledged and taken steps to repair for their fan base so that we can get back to the business of playing the game without a 25 page FAQ's that not only address half of the problems and makes the game waaaaay to complicated,  effectively re-wording the vast majority of the printed cards making tracking everything a pain in the butt.
    FFG has solved this by providing conversion kits of all printed material, created a way to make it easier for them to maintain the balance of the game my leveraging modern tech (digital tools) and committed themselves to maintaining X-Wing as a game for years to come.  To come to a fan forum and piss all over that effort because you will have to spend a couple of hundred bucks to convert and download an app is pretty insulting and so no, I would not expect a particularly warm reception from the vast majority of fans who have been waiting for FFG to get their **** together and fix our favorite game for far too long.  Its a complete lack of recognition of the facts behind the new edition and a total lack of understanding of why its so vital that they do this.

    There is a principle in Table Top gaming, what I like to call "Gamers Math", but basically the way it works is that their is a presumption that anything new must be purchased and compared with anything old.  It more typically happens in role-playing games where editions are usually straight replacements without backwards compatibility, but in miniature games editions tend to have backwards compatibility, though people still treat it as if it doesn't. 
    What people are really mad about is that there will be all new models, its not like they are just reprinting 2.0 molds, they are going to be producing new  (presumably better) models, new paint jobs... main word to note here is NEW and gamers see that as "I must buy this if I want to play".  Its similar to what happens when there is a tournament and they release special tournament cards that you can only get when participating... the complaint then is "hey its not fair that you can't buy it".  All it is, is a different picture for a card they already have, and still people treat it as "additional content" which they MUST have or the world is unfair to them and FFG are a bunch of A-holes.
    The fact that a conversion kit has been provided to keep using your old models is really not that relevant, most gamers will want to have the new stuff regardless, in particular since their are obvious improvements to the new stuff.
    So your cost assessment that its cheap to convert (by comparison to repurchasing everything) is not really addressing the real issues these gamers have.  Their problem is that FFG is producing new content that replaces the old content and while a conversion is available, people want the new stuff.
    Its just how the "think" is, its nothing new, its really part of our cult of the new culture that exists in gaming in general.  There is just an assumption that because a new edition of something comes out, that every edition before that is garbage to be thrown away, as if the simple existence of something new disqualifies anything that came before from being used.
    Its a bit of a silly attitude and in a way you really can't do anything to satisfy this attitude, there is literally no business model that FFG could create in which they update to a new edition that isn't going to piss of people, what they did produce with the conversion kit was very generous and far more than what most companies would do for their fan base.

    BigKahuna got a reaction from Gandalf_ in Lord of the Rings Quest Companion Gets a New Home   
    It's my pleasure and privilege to announce that the Lord of the Rings Quest Companion has received a new home and will be preserved for the foreseeable future.  In cooperation with its creator Banania, Gamersdungeon.net (my tiny and humble blog) has become the new host of one of Lord of the Rings LCG best resources (in my humble opinion).
    You can find the direct link to the new site here (http://lotr-lcg-quest-companion.gamersdungeon.net/).  The campaign companion has also been debugged and brought online you can find the direct link here (http://lotr-lcg-quest-companion.gamersdungeon.net/campaignlog/)
    I would imagine most of you already know what the tool is for and what it does, but here is the original post from Banania that describes it (https://community.fantasyflightgames.com/topic/225595-the-lord-of-the-rings-quest-companion/)
    The initial plan for the Companion was to simply preserve it and that first goal has now been accomplished.  However it's my hope that we can do more than maintain it as an archive, I hope that the community can come together and volunteer some of their time to help us update and maintain the site to include future releases.  Volunteers are welcome and appreciated!
    My general plan for the site is for it to remain free forever, advertisement free with no catches of any kind.  All I want to do is preserve this great resource.  We will however sometime in the future setup a donation page which will allow the community to contribute to the permanent maintenance of the site and potentially for its expansion.
    For now, enjoy it and be sure to thank Banania for all of his hard work and dedication of creating this great resource,  he has done a wonderful job and deserves all of our gratitude!
