  • Did you know that there are seventy-two different Star Wars M&M packages to collect?  They have several in each size and flavour combination.  Of course, now that they have the Darth Chocolate dark chocolate variety, there is no reason to buy the milk chocolate varieties--not even for Star Wars!  In fact, they're stupid refusal to make custom dark chocolate M&Ms has cost them a Star Wars Collectors Tin sale. 

     

    So I warned our TFLAS team that we would need to read the new book in less than a week in order to best avoid spoilers.  I know we knew that the book release was close to Phoenix Con Games and Hexacon, but I don't know if we had realized how close.  Well, most of our HLA2 team bought the book opening day and was either able to finish the book before or early into the convention.   Ironically, I alone still haven't purchased the book. 

     

    We warned players to avoid spoilers with narrators and other players, which worked as far as I heard.  I saw at least one player reading the book during meal periods, so I know not everyone had finished it yet.  Then James, one of our narrators, had to spoil something for me which he claims doesn't count because its in the first three pages of the book.  He obviously doesn't understand what spoiler-free means.  Everyone else was very respectful, though.

     

    Hopefully, I can get the book and read it before DAL2.
