During this episode of Jabba's Backup Band we take a pretty large deep dive into the current state of Organized Play. While some recent events were the catalyst for this discussion, this has been a topic we have wanted to address since the inception of our podcast. We know we have some strong opinions on this subject and not everyone will agree with us. We are happy to hear other points of view and chat with anyone in the community on this or really any subject. Don't hesitate to reach us on The Legion discord.

On this episode of Jabba's Backup Band we give a pretty good recap of our Local Store Championship which had 26 players including several travel groups! It was our first local two day tournament. We then provide some Tempest Force feedback as David played it said championship. We wrap up with a quick touch on LSO.

David's audio should sound much better as I finally got a microphone in. Audio is hopefully just gonna get better!

As always we appreciate any feedback, criticism, list idea, topic idea, heck just whatever!

In this installment of Jabba's Backup Band we take a deep dive on table building for competitive play. We focus primarily on how tables play, not how they look. If you are ever responsible for setting up a table for a game of Star Wars Legion I highly recommend giving this episode a listen. The table setup can make or break a lot of games before they start. 

**Unfortunately Tempest Force was announced the day after we recorded. Our next cast will have an in depth review of Tempest as we will have had almost 2 full weeks to play and test it**

As we are excited to interact with the community. You can get any of us on The Legion Discord at our "name" - Jabba's Backup Band or via email at:
