Gen Con 2015 Events
All but one of the events have been submitted for this year!!! We are still working out the details of the last one. We are excited for a few new things, a few old things, and a few changes. Have fun speculating!! If this year is anything like the past few, you have til early May to try and figure it out!
Edit - May 5th Here we go (though Gen Con currently messed up the titles and somehow put the event description as the title, hopefully they fix that before things go live in a few weeks) Thur July 30 11 AM Treasure Quest - Secure the most Treasure Glyphs to win! Open to all players, 28 positions. 4 round swiss with one game final, if necessary. Players bring a pre-drafted 400 point Heroscape army, no Marvel. Army size is limited to 16 figures.

The army MUST include at least 350 points worth of Large and / or Huge figures. Army cannot exceed 16 figures. The tournament is played in one hour rounds. 4PM 4 x 4 Open to all players, 28 positions. 4 round swiss with one game final, if necessary. Players bring FOUR, pre-drafted 440 point Heroscape armies, no Marvel. Army Size is limited to 16 figures. No card can be used more than once across all 4 armies; multiple commons allowed.

Tournament is played in one hour rounds. 9PM Draft Tournament Bring an 800-point draft pool. At the start of each game, there will be a dice-off between the players. The winner of the dice-off can decide to either draft 1 card/unit from the combined draft pool of both players, or defer the choice to their opponent. After one person has drafted 1 card/unit, players will alternate drafting 2 cards/units per person until they reach the point/figure limit listed below. Figures must be placed in the start zones as they are drafted. Players are allowed to drop figures as they draft, but cannot add or subtract figures once they are placed in the start zones. Airborne Elite/Retchets start off the board as normal and count towards your figure limit. 400 points 16 figure limit Fri July 31 10 AM Heroes Only - Players bring a pre-drafted 600 point Heroscape army that does not include squad units, no Marvel.

Cool MM. Looking forward to what you have in store this year.

Re: Gen Con 2015 Events
I home one event besides the custom free-for-all allows V3V/SoV but I highly doubt it. Hopefully I can go this year, but doubt that about as much as I doubt the VC inclusion.
C3V/SoV cards @ 3/page PDF / LeftOn4ya's Customs (including Jurassic World) / Competitive Unit Alters / New? Start Here! Unit Debates REVIVED - #76 Tandros Kreel vs Torin "Today is a good day to die... but the day is not yet over"

Finally get to meet the legend in person. Make sure to sign up for my event during Open Play! It's likely I'll be playing a lot of X-Wing this year (if I can get in, of course...) |
