I know it's not the best game, but I really want to try it, and I've read that it's backwards compatible.

I found the Xbox marketplace page on mobile, but when I click to buy it says it's not available in my region (I'm in the UK).

Is there any way I can get it, or am I out of luck? I don't really know how region locking works with BC 360 games...

I'm fairly new to American football and VERY new to management games! Literally just started playing and looking forward to it, but I'm a bit confused by some of my players being marked as retiring.

I can't renegotiate, trade, or cut them, but their stats screen says their contract doesn't expire for another 2 years.

Does that mean they're literally leaving this year before the regular season starts? (In which case how does their salary work for the unplayed years?)

Or are they just announcing their intention to leave in 2 years, after their contract expires?

Swapped my original launch XB1 for a new Series X and it's all set up, but the Xbox app on my phone still shows the old XB1 by default for everything (remote installs, launch game, streaming).

The Series X is on the app too, but it's not the default for anything which is really annoying.

Anyone know how to remove the old console from the app?

EDIT: Seems like you can change the default console in the app by going to library/consoles, choosing manage installed games on the console you want, and then backing out again. Super weird process, and I've still not found a way to remove the unwanted console entirely.

I'm getting ready to run a 1E (Anniversary) game and was recommended the Rules Update booklet, but I'm getting a bit confused by the new dodge/parry rules and want to check if I've got them straight.

So the Update booklet adds 'full' and 'combat' dodging. According to the booklet:

A full dodge is the only action you can take that turn. The result of your roll is added to the difficulty number of all attackers that round (e.g. I roll Dodge 6, all blaster attacks against me are made at +6 difficulty that round).

A combat dodge is taken as a reaction after all other actions are declared. It counts as an additional action (with associated 1D penalty). Instead of adding to the diffic

According to the FFG Upcoming page, the long-delayed Star Wars: The Roleplaying Game 30th Anniversary Edition (a reprint of the original WEG Star Wars RPG, plus the source book) is finally Shipping Now!

I pre-ordered from my FLGS last August, but it's been AWOL with no updates from FFG for months -- good to see it's finally getting sent out, and I might have it in my hands soon. It's a good 6+ months late, but better late than never, right?

Been a Trek fan for as long as I can remember, and grew up watching TNG. Yet somehow I never noticed before that the viewscreen on the Enterprise D displays images in 3D!

I was watching S4E11 (Data's Day) last night and noticed that, when the camera showed the viewscreen from a side-angle, the image was perspective-correct.

See examples here.

Presumably, it's more like looking through a window than seeing an image on a flat screen.

Maybe this is common knowledge, but I found this pretty mind-blowing!
