Re: Florida Frenzy 4.0 (Gainesville, FL)
So we qualify for the prize support. Should the organizer talk to R˙chean?

Re: Florida Frenzy 4.0 (Gainesville, FL)
I contacted R˙chean about possible prize support.
I have finalized the date as 10/23/2010. I contacted a few large bookstores about hosting, and Books-A-Million said they could do it. I know they have table space, but I am going to check it out this weekend to see if I have to bring a few more. Now we need to determine maps, rules, and format. Right now, we don't have any maps decided, so please continue to nominate them for the next week, and then we can vote on them. Also, the plan is to have 400 point armies (no restrictions), 4 Swiss rounds, then a 5th/round which is also a semi-final round for the top four. Then we'll have a finals and 1 hour of free play. Let me know if you want any sort of restrictions on the armies (A+, 3x commons, Marvel, etc.) or bonuses to figures (+1 to frenzy rolls, etc.). |

Re: Florida Frenzy 4.0 (Gainesville, FL)
Looks like we need at least 12 maps.
Restrictions: I'm for no Marvel. I'd like to see it as close to a Gen-Con style tournament as possible. DUND is underestimated and under-rated. |

Re: Florida Frenzy 4.0 (Gainesville, FL)
So 400? Could we break it by like 30pts and take a SoS hit?

Re: Florida Frenzy 4.0 (Gainesville, FL)
I'm glad we got the date finalized. How about this books a million, is it going to have enough space?

Re: Florida Frenzy 4.0 (Gainesville, FL)
I'm with Riggler. The NHSD tourney is usually our more official one with Gen-Con type rules, so no Marvel, and whatever the point total is should be fixed without being able to go over it. The format seems good to me, and I'll hopefully be posting some map votes soon. And you can put my girlfriend down on the list of people attending.

Re: Florida Frenzy 4.0 (Gainesville, FL)
Sorry to hear about Necromonicon, Syvaris - shouldn't it be Halloween weekend instead?
Anyway, we'll keep it simple, 400 point armies (no going over), and no Marvel (this time). Strength of Schedule will take a hit (-1) for each of the A+ units you bring, which are: -Raelin the Kyrie Warrior (RotV) -Major Q9 -Deathreavers You also will take get (-1) for every common squad you bring in excess of 3x of the same unit. Common and Uncommon heroes have no limit. I wanted to give you guys a feel for the locations I scouted before. Here are pictures of four places we were thinking about, the last one, Books-A-Million, is the set location. As you can see, their tables are roughly 2'x2.5', but we can put them next to each other. They also said they have some fold-out tables we could set up. I was considering bringing additional tables or large pieces of cardboard for the table tops, but we can always get those from the neighboring stores if necessary. Mega Gaming and Comics (has Wave D2 in stock!) Vorpal Games (closing shop) HobbyTown USA (they have a side room too) Books-A-Million Books-A-Million (Cafe) Once again, here are some map possibilities (with building material): Quasatch Playground - 1RoTV, 2TJ Striking Distance - 1RoTV, 2RttFF If you can't take the heat... - 1SotM, 1TJ, 1 VW Jotun's Gap - 1RoTV, 1 BftU When Paths Cross - 1RoTV, 1RttFF Nexus - 2BftU Failed Negotiations - 1RoTV, 1RttFF Reclamation Plant - 1RoTV, 1RttFF, 1FotA I do not possess enough material to build all the maps, so please volunteer to bring some. I shall be purchasing some material, but currently all that is sold is BftU, SotM, FotA, and Marvel, so we may have to limit maps which use other kinds of terrain. So please check out: http://www.heroscapers.com/community...ad.php?t=14629 for any small maps you think would work. And let me know which maps you can bring! We have to get this finalized no later than next Saturday, 10/9. Oh, and I forgot to mention that we shall be playing glyphs as well, so please nominate some. I plan on using mostly Treasure glyphs, as those are currently available for purchase. Last edited by BurnyFlame; October 2nd, 2010 at 07:04 PM. Reason: Glyphs |

Re: Florida Frenzy 4.0 (Gainesville, FL)
I'm not coming since the location but the Books A Million looks like a bad idea table-wise. The top two look good with space, the third one would concern me if they don't have more tables.

Re: Florida Frenzy 4.0 (Gainesville, FL)
Meh, I'm not a fan of the 400 point armies. I don't know if anyone else would like it, but I would rather have Gencon style 500 point armies.
