Winners will be randomly selected from qualifying comments.
##Shipping
This giveaway will ship WORLDWIDE. Thanks again to these companies for their generosity.
##The fine print
These giveaways are open until 5:30 a.m. Pacific time the day after they are posted. Comments made after 5:30 a.m. will not be eligible to win. Each day, I will make a new post announcing the winners of the previous day’s giveaway. They will be tagged in the post, and notified via private message. WINNERS WILL HAVE 48 HOURS TO RESPOND. If you don’t expect to be able to log in for two days after a giveaway, please do not enter. If a winner does not respond within 48 hours, another winner will be selected.
To simplify things for the companies who have donated prizes (and to help prevent the same person winning multiple prizes), I will be collecting shipping information and passing it on to the donors. This will include collecting a valid name and shipping address, and in some cases, a phone number. If you aren’t comfortable providing this information, please do not enter.
Previous giveaway winners are not eligible to win additional giveaways. Anyone caught attempting to game the system by le

Part of a Star Wars tabletop RPG set in the days of the Mandalorian Wars. The GM and I are looking for more players.
ISO 2-5 players! Fight your way to the heart of the mystery of the missing moons while Revan and his forces struggle to convince the Republic and the Jedi Order of the Mandalorian menace. Are these missing moons part of a new Mandalorian super weapon or something much, much worse? Find out every other Thursday from 8:00 p.m. to Midnight EDT. We use Discord for voice and text and play on Tabletop Simulator (if you don't have the money to buy it, we can screenshare). Edge of the Empire, Force and Destiny, Age of Rebelion, etc. are all welcome.
Please feel free to message me if interested and I will put you in contact with him.
They produce wonderful games, but don't seem to really care about how you are going to store them.
Now, this has been helped by their "Return To..." boxes for AH LCG, but nothing else.
It seems to be money left on the table, and I wish they would do something about it.
I'm left with trying to find out how to store all of the minis for Mansions of Madness, and while I found something, it isn't pretty (which is something I've grown to really appreciate).
Edit:
I’m not looking for a storage solution in the box, but something they could sell to store their whole game in one box.
I picked it up for $20 at Barnes and noble. My brother and his wife loved the show, but aren't really into boardgames (save monopoly and scrabble).
Is the theme good enough for them to overcome the rules?
If anyone lives in Minnesota, you MUST visit fantasy flight's Game Center/Storefront in Roseville! It's so cool to see all of their goods sprawled out. It feels like I'm a child in a candy store. They even just recently stocked up on Arkham Noir!! If there's anybody here that's not familiar with that game, it's pretty cool and that artwork is absolutely incredible. I forget the maker of that game though. Anyways cheers to Arkham Horror and everything Lovecraft!
Hi Guys.
I'm just attempting to do a PSA, people on this sub-reddit probably know it already.
The official site: https://www.keyforgegame.com
Has the rules version 1.0 from July 20th 2018.
The Fantasy Flight page for Keyforge: https://www.fantasyflightgames.com/en/products/keyforge/
Has the, to my knowledge, newest version of the rules: version 1.1 from November 2018.
I am assuming this is where to most up to date rules are most likely to be found in the future.
Kind Regards

Hopefully everyone's FLGS gets it in that day!
EDIT (2:15 PM Central): Thank you to everyone who joined us for the AMA! There are more games to come so we've got to get back to the drawing board, but we can't wait chat with you guys about another one in the near future. Thanks again for being a part of the wonderful tabletop community. You make everything we do worthwhile!
Hello everyone! While we at FFG await the opportunity to fully release Twilight Imperium Forth Edition into the world, we thought it would be fun to pop in for a discussion about the history of Twilight Imperium, the game's Fourth edition, and what it takes to make an epic tabletop space opera. We'll try to answer as many questions as we can right away this afternoon (beginning around 1pm Central), and will hopefully swing back through a little later to catch a few missed posts. Can't wait to hear what you're dying to know!

In this case, no news is news. Shame. Q&A currently underway, maybe someone will ask for a crumb of information.
EDIT:
The question was asked - new cycle underway set to come out at the end of the year, so it sounds like a long wait. Rotation will be PRIOR to the release of the new pack, announced to come in preparation for Worlds.
Hello, everyone! We’d like to invite everyone to an X-Wing Second Edition AMA on June 7, Noon (CT) with Developers Max Brooke and Frank Brooks!
