I've got no interest in playing that game -- but I've got the minis of Slave 1 and the Millennium Falcon on my desk at work. Those pieces are way detailed, especially for just a game piece. |

Mr. James, none of us are trying to be snarky...we are just really anxious to get info on the upcoming incarnation of the setting. That said, it's a rather open secret that tons of old lore is still NDA despite the fact that little, if anything, will ever be done with much of it. It would be nice if some things were revealed (Example: The Sorceress in Grey mentioned in Volo's Guide to All Things Magical).
My reply was dry and brief. It might read poorly. I just wanted to drop in the thread that we're being cuffed. Some are being left out all-together. It's a tricky rope they make freelancers walk. If they perceive you as not toeing the line, you get cut. |

And none of us wants you to get cut. There are a few really good names left writing/designing the setting and it needs all the talent that can be mustered. Thanks for the diligent work and trying to keep us updated. |
I have a dream that one day, all game worlds will exist as one. |

I've got most of the TIE pieces on both my library desk at home, and my workstation at work. The TIE Avenger is a particular favourite! |

For everything from Fantasy Flight, I am just super impressed with the level of detail.

I purchased two Avengers for exactly this reason. One without the stripe, and one with a carefully applied stripe [painted with my own trusty paints and brushes set] by my own hand. |

I'm not sure I like the fact that the gods will not be featured as much. I actually liked the novels that showed them in detail. |
