Assassins' Guild: West Chester, PA Tournament July 17 2010

I've gotten the green light from Games Keep in West Chester, PA to hold a Heroscape event on July 17. Games Keep is a great store with a lot of table space and a great selection of games, including 'scape. The owner, Karl, has built up a regular customer base for 'scape and is happy to provide space for us.

Location:
Games Keep
929 S High St
West Chester, PA 19382

484 905-5533

Google Maps is normally reliable for directions to GK, but there is a small detour because of construction work in the area. It's a minor inconvenience and won't add more than a few minutes if you know where to go. I've pasted the following from Games Keep's most recent newsletter:
Quote:
High Street Exit Closures: For anyone stopping in from out of town, please keep in mind that the High Street Exit off of 202 South and the ramp to get onto 202 North from High Street have been closed for construction. I have no idea how long they’re going to be closed, but it looks like it will be a while. Travel on 202 North is unhampered. If coming in on 202 South, your 2 best options are as follows:
1.) Turn right at the light at Matlack Street (light is just before the High Street exit). Turn left at Snyder Avenue and then another left onto High Street.
2.) Continue following 202 South past the High Street exit, following the detour signs. Bear right at the wrap-around at Skiles Boulevard. Turn left at the light to get back on 202 North. Keep straight to enter West Chester on High Street rather than follow 202 North.

Format:
Five round Swiss, 50 minute matches. For army construction, let's shake things up a bit. This will be a new format that I'm calling Assassins' Guild. 500 points, and each army must include at least one unique (not uncommon) hero of 100 points or more (no Marvel, sorry). At the beginning of the event, each player will designate one unique hero of at least 100 pts as the Commander of his or her forces. A player achieves victory by assassinating his or her opponent's Commander - once that figure is destroyed, the game immediately ends and points are awarded to the winner based on the point value of the Commander plus the point value of the opponent’s figures remaining on the board. Maximum points can be achieved by eliminating the opponent’s commander without causing damage to any of his or her other figures. However, a win is still a win - standings will be based first on win/loss record and second on scenario points.

Time:
Setup will begin at 12 noon, with the first match at 1pm.

Entrance Fee / Prizes
: There will be a small entrance fee of $5 which will go entirely towards store credit to be distributed among the winners. I'm choosing to go this route to offer support for Games Keep as Karl is generously allowing us to take over his store for an afternoon. If the fee is a problem for anyone please pm me and we can work something out.

I am a Heroscape junky, so please put me down as an attendee! I like the format. It is kind of like DragonWars. I am also good for a couple of maps.

Re: West Chester, PA Tournament - July 17 2010

I was hoping you'd be available. I was thinking of Dragon Wars when I was working on the format but I wanted something to shake up the metagame in a different way. This is a format where I could actually see Agent Carr being useful.

Re: West Chester, PA Tournament - July 17 2010

Well, another tourny in the area! Nice! I can't say yes or no right now, so put me in as possible. I won't really know till we get closer to the date. I am expecting a lot of Saturday work during the summer, but I don't know yet.

Love the format too, should be fun.

Re: West Chester, PA Tournament - July 17 2010

You can add myself and Xanth to the list.

The format is interesting. Will the non-winning player have a way of scoring points or is it winner take all?

73 tournaments. 175 - 145 - 1 overall record. 6 tournament wins.

I'm thinking winner take all - the current scoring system is that the winner starts at 500 points and subtracts points for each non-Leader figure that they eliminate. This is on top of the normal 2-1-0 for win-draw-loss. I'm open to feedback though if anyone has suggestions or comments.

Re: West Chester, PA Tournament - July 17 2010

Sounds good. I know it's a long time to plan ahead but I wanted to make sure I could reserve the date with Games Keep - they have regular Magic and D&D events and are starting to get into Warhammer, not to mention hosting the Eastern PA Gaming Society on a monthly basis. Hope to see you there!

Re: West Chester, PA Tournament - July 17 2010

I mihgt be interested mad wookie, but could you give me the address of the store so I can run a mapquest. That will ultimately decide if I will be able to make it. A 2 hr drive is probably the limit. (seeing how I have to get a ride) But I am definately interested.
