The 4 winners from that round will move down to the next set of maps (there will be 7 total), while we seat an additional group of 8 players. The day will proceed like this with each group of winners advancing down the table to the next set of maps.... That is the Damnation Alley. So feel free to buy a ticket and show up whenever, but remember that it is first come first serve, and that we take named tickets in priority over generics. We will likely have a sign up sheet going each day so you can reserve a spot.

Title:Heroscape - Jumpstart
Event Description:Single elimination tournament lasting 3 rounds split into 8 man heats. Up to 32 players bring their own 450 point pre-made army (Players may not include DW9000 in their army), Army Cards, dice, Order Markers, Wound Markers, and any special tokens required. Players can activate the broken down DW9000 that has been placed in the middle of the map. Successfully activating DW9000 means you may add him to your army. Additional rule details given before the event.
Registrations Available: 0

Check at the beginning of your attack phase. If you have at least one small or medium figure that activated this turn, adjacent to DW9000, and if your opponent doesn't also have a figure adjacent to him, then during your attack phase with that figure, you may use DW9000's normal attack instead of that figure's. If at the beginning of your attack phase, you have two small or medium figures from the same squad that you activated this turn, adjacent to DW9000 and no enemy figures, then they may exchange both of their attacks for DW9000's special explosion attack. If at the beginning of any of your turns, you have at least three small or medium figures you control adjacent to DW9000 and no enemy figures, then you may immediately “jumpstart” DW9000 and add him to your army by removing any three of those adjacent figures and placing them on DW9000's card. These figures may not be used while on the DW‘s army card, even if their army card has an order marker on it. Add DW9000 and his card to your army until the end of the game. You now control DW9000 as if he is part of your drafted army. Once a player takes control of DW9000, if later in the game DW is destroyed, choose one of the three figures that are on DW9000’s card and place it on the space DW9000 was standing when destroyed. place the other 2 figures adjacent to that figure. If a figure cannot be placed for any reason, destroy that figure. If the game ends, any player who controls DW9000 may add his points to his remaining total, and any figures on DW9000’s card are not considered destroyed. At no time during Jumpstart may DW9000 be affected by Mindshackle or any other ability similar in nature. DW9000 may not be moved or attacked until he is controlled by a player.

Title:Heroscape - Capture Raelin
Event Description:Swiss style tournament lasting 4 rounds with no final. Up to 32 players bring their own 450 point pre-made army (Players may not include Raelin in their army), Army Cards, dice, Order Markers, Wound Markers, and any special tokens required. Players win by capturing the unconscious Raelin that is in the center of the map, and bringing her back to their start zone. The top 4 players win prizes.
Registrations Available: 18

By Rÿchean:
Raelin starts in the middle of the battlefield and is never controlled by either player. Raelin never takes damage and cannot be destroyed. Raelin can not be the target of an attack and cannot be subjected to, nor affected by, any special ability. Figures may not pass through Raelin even if they have powers that allow them to move through figures. Raelin does not count to either player's point total. Her Defensive Aura is activated for the figures you control while you have at least one figure adjacent to her. If both players have a least one figure adjacent to her, then her Defensive Aura is not active. At the beginning of any of your turns, if a figure on the card that you are taking a turn with, is adjacent to Raelin and if your opponent doesn't have a figure adjacent to Raelin, then during your move phase, that figure may "drag" Raelin. If the chosen card has a special move ability such as flying, stealth flying, grapple, climb, leap, charge…etc that figure will be unable to use that special move ability during it's move phase. The chosen figure may not increase its move value from terrain or from any power on a glyph or card. Move the chosen figure. After you move that figure place Raelin adjacent to that figure. Raelin can be placed no more than 4 hexes away from where she was prior to the figure's move. Raelin can only be moved once per order marker. At the end of your move, if Raelin has been "drug" onto any of your starting zone hexes and is not adjacent to any of your opponent's figures, you win the game. Players can also win the game be destroying all of the opponent's figures.

Extremly helpful! Thanks! +rep for you sir!

[Wind Lane]

Any chance this could get stickied or linked into a GenCon info thread that gets stickied?

[Grungebob]

Stickied!

Yes those are our events. Of course they were posted on a day that I was at the school volunteering all day!. We will have more details and field any questions ongoing

[Onacara]

Ok I am going to ask the question...

Can you sign-up for 2 events at the same time? (i.e. I am going to sign up for Championship Top 16 in case I make the top 16 but if not I want to make sure I can get into one of the other Saturday morning events.)

Last year, you did not sign up for the second day and there was NO cost associated with it.

Ok so what happens if you make the championship and you already signed up for one of the other events?

[Grungebob]

If you want to sign up for two go right ahead. I believe that is one of the incentives.

BTW, FOLKS!! If you see any errors in the event list just hold tight while we work those out. I have not reviewed them yet but trust that any errors will be sorted out completely before this goes live!!

The latest email that I got from Gencon stated that you could NOT sign up for multiple events at the same time....and included instructions for unregistering for events via-email.

[Rÿchean]

You will not have to sign up for the second day. You have to qualify for that. If you signed up for another event but you rocked the house and made the second day, I am sure you will be able to sell your conflicting event ticket. (very easily)

Thanks for putting this together, damja!

[Jexik]

When will sign-up for events officially open, and how do we do it? I only went to the GenCon site the one time to get my badge, so I'm a complete newbie with all this.
