Does this seem like it would be a fun format for people? Is there a way to tweak it to be more fun?

Edit: To be clear, the resulting 500-point army would be one army, not two distinct ones, so bonding and "you control" abilities would function with both.

My initial concern with this format is that I would be tempted to bring vanilla and no heroes, like:

2x Minions (220)
Filler
2x Sentinels (220)
Filler

Maybe I'm missing something, but this was my knee-jerk reaction.

I'm more interested in the reverse the whip and draft events.

But I'm not the TD so...

Just as long as you don't use a d20 to decide how many points the armies are, I will be just fine!

If this is an event that would be held at Madness, I can talk to Chris and make handouts/flyers when I know the date/format/etc.

Thanks for running this one, Velenne.

Have we ever had a tourney with a point total of say 300-380 points? I think it would be fun, limit startzones to 14 hexes and make it 6 rounds instead of 5. More opponents and quicker less dragging on a loss than a regular tournament.

The only times I've played with points that low it was either in the team games, or in a free for all a la the North Texas Shootout.

I'm not sure that just playing more rounds in the day is going to be enough to make it interesting though. Needs another hook.

FYI, the Richardson Open thread is up.

Not sure if this is really the best place to ask, but what the hey: Are the ROTV figures sufficiently hard to find to make them Prize Table Worthy? I don't anticipate being able to get my hands on many more sealed boosters, and I was fortunate to get several ROTV's back in the day.

I promise they'll have bases...

Fencerjared · #**308** April 3rd, 2011, 01:09 PM

I see them quite often on ebay; unfortunately, it's the terrain that is hard to find. However, it is the prize table, so as long as you're not trying to pass off expired government cheese or something I think you'll be fine.

DrLivingston · #**309** April 3rd, 2011, 02:26 PM

I think they would make an awesome prize-RotV is getting hard to find/expensive.

I can think of a few people from the draft last year that wpuld have loved to have gotten it as a prize.

Keeping the bases on is a good idea.

Dignan · #**310** April 3rd, 2011, 02:52 PM

FYI, for the Richardson Open, in addition to the regular Heroscape prizes, I was thinking of putting a suggested prize of "your favorite card game". There are a bunch f fun $10-$15 card games that would make excellent prizes. It should appeal to your typical gamer at our events.

Of course, it would remain completely optional.

What about the SotM figs less the commons? Or is that decidedly more lame?

I know free is free and all, I just don't wnat to insult someone by offering up what are essentially my "leavings"...

Card games sounds like a great idea! Dignan, I have this one game you'd love, Parade? It's like nothing you've ever played 90 times before!

It's not super lame. They would be pretty cool to those that don't have access to them.
