Episode 10 "Conventional Quote-Unquote Wisdom"

The SWU Harvest Podcast for Star Wars: Unlimited

Hey there, Laserbrains! Welcome back to another thrilling episode of SWU Harvest, the podcast that's made by Star Wars Unlimited fans, for Star Wars Unlimited fans. I'm your host, Mike, and today I'm joined by the usual suspects, Jon and Andy. We've got a jam-packed pre-Gen Con episode for you, filled with news, tips, and a healthy dose of banter. So, buckle up and let's dive in!

First off, we dive into the excitement of Gen Con, with Andy being the lucky SWU crew member heading to the event. While Jon and I are missing out due to various reasons (including my irredeemable cheapskate tendencies), we're living vicariously through Andy's adventure. We talk about the buzz surrounding the upcoming Planetary Qualifiers and the surprisingly limited number of events, which has us all scratching our heads.

We also discuss the highly anticipated exclusive cards and playmats available at Gen Con. From the chaos at San Diego Comic-Con to the hopefully more organized Gen Con process, we share our thoughts on snagging these coveted items. And if you're a fan of The Bad Batch, you'll want to hear our take on the new Crosshair playmat!

For those of you heading to Gen Con, we've got some invaluable tips and tricks to help you make the most of your experience. From bringing protein-rich snacks like beef sticks and shelled pistachios (shoutout to Paul Heaver) to staying hydrated and navigating the food truck scene, we've got you covered. Plus, we share some local dining recommendations to keep you fueled and ready for all the gaming action.

We couldn't resist making some predictions for the top decks at Gen Con. With set two out in the wild, we speculate on which leader combos will make it to the top eight. Will it be Leia Red, Palpatine Green, or maybe even a surprise Hondo deck? Tune in to find out our picks and share your own predictions with us!

And finally, we tease our upcoming Holotable tournament video, promising a highly produced and entertaining showdown that you won't want to miss. It's going to be a visual feast with all the bells and whistles, so keep an eye out for that release soon.

So, grab your favorite snack, settle in, and join us for another fun-filled episode of SWU Harvest. Whether you're heading to Gen Con or just dreaming of it, we've got something for everyone. Enjoy, and may the Force be with you!
