Atomic Mass Games killed XWing years ago IMO.

For me
Above And Below
Near & Far
That’s it
Bounced off Now And Never
And I specifically like Near & Far as a campaign. Doing a single play session is fine, but it irks me you can tent push and rush the end of the game. In a campaign everyone wants to explore so we collectively don’t rush a session and split the story books evenly; with whoever got the lowest score in the previous map getting the extra story book next map. I haven’t ever used NaF characters in AaB but I bet that would be cool.

There was official other content for Above And Below, Desert Labyrinth and Underforest book. I haven’t gotten into that but it’s more stories/encounters and some status tokens and stuff.

Hope that extra content gets reprinted

[@koalabrownie]

Collectible games need releases for their communities to stay active. If Magic stopped releasing sets tomorrow, how long would it take most of the players to gravitate to go to other games?
Would some players keep playing it regardless? 100%. But people like COLLECTING new stuff.

Now I want an economic game called Loan Wolves

[@coreyschmitz1970]

Xwing players are upset because AMG clearly never wanted to support the game as they were half assing the support. Their excuse is just an excuse they were looking for any reason not to support the game anymore.

[@koalabrownie]

Was there a lot of untapped content to produce? I think the problem with those games is that the further you get away from the core content, the more sales will suffer. At some point it's not going to be economically viable to produce new ships that not enough people will buy.
Not saying this is what happened, but it has happened with games based on IP that I've purchased in the past.
