The Dice Tower Convention - with Scape! (July 5-8)

[1Mmirg]

Hopefully many of you have heard that Tom Vasel and the Dice Tower are getting behind a new boardgame convention this summer here in sunny Florida (near Orlando and all the resorts, parks, etc.).

The Dice Tower Convention is dedicated to boardgaming and looks to be a ton of fun! Join us July 5-8 for 80 hours of boardgaming. (The price is definitely right. $35 for the whole Con (until May 31) and about $40 for the hotel rooms.)


I'm working on the Scape aspects of the convention. My general plan is to do a single tourney/event and then have open gaming time for Scape as well. However, if enough people are interested, I could see doing more events. (Personally, I want to be sure to have plenty of time to enjoy other boardgames as well.)


UPDATES:

The Tournament will begin on Saturday morning, 10-3, and be in Swiss Tourney format, with 4 rounds and a Final Two.

Format:

Fog of War - All ranged attacks, abilities, and auras are cut in half rounded up.

420 point armies.

Spoiler Alert!

Previous options discussed:
1x Only - Only one Army Card worth of any unit is allowed. It's old-school mishmash, ftw!
Slugfest - Units with Range 1 receive 1 more attack dice when attacking an adjacent unit.
Monster Mash-Up - The army MUST include at least 350 points worth of Large and / or Huge figures.
