Delays Inbound but Lots on the Horizon (September 22 newsletter) (Patreon)

Hey folks, I'm afraid the Pax Pamir video will be a couple more weeks. Between the ISS Vanguard tutorial and having to cover *checks notes* eight different games for Rahdo in the past month and a half, I just haven't had the time to stay on schedule. That being said, the next few months are a little less intense with paid projects, so here's an idea of what will be coming out and when.

Pax Pamir 2e - mid October

War of the Ring (Lords and Armies expansions) - early November

Root (Marauders/Hirelings/Clockwork 2 expansions) - late November/early December

Star Trek Ascendancy - before New Years

Expansion videos tend to be a fair bit easier, so I'm pretty confident that I'll be able to make it work. And then assuming all goes well with their production schedule, it looks like in early 2023 I'll be making a video for the upcoming Europa Universalis: The Price of Power.

Haven't had a chance to play it yet, but it looks like quite the game. I've always shied away from the PC games, as they're just a little too much for me, but the board game version looks to be a bit more easy going (though still a hefty boy). 

On my own end, the game I've been most excited to get my hands on is It's a Wonderful World.

I've been playing it a bunch and man do I love this game. It's a card-based engine builder where every turn you draft seven cards and then choose to either try to build them or chuck them for quick resources to build other stuff. That's all well and good, but you only have four rounds, so you really have to make smart decisions about when to build your engine and when to pivot for points. It isn't exactly groundbreaking, but it just packs such a big punch in such a short amount of time. Highly recommend.

And lastly, I'm going to be at SHUX this weekend! I was all set to go to SHUX for the first time in 2020 and then the pandemic rolled in and shuffled around some plans. I've heard other people were affected by it as well. Personally I'm against covid, but that's just me. Anyway, if you're there as well, feel free to say hi!
