Greetings, Rebel scum. Our Gen Con events are selling very well, but our Team events are lagging behind. We know it can be intimidating to try something going Unusual, even if you have a partner. So I wanted to rundown the events so people have a better idea what they're getting.
On Thursday at 7 pm we'll have a 3-round standard team tourney 200 point squads, current floor rules and errata. The only squad building caveat is thar you must not have matching Uniques (two people who counts as the same character) between the two squads. Feel free to sign up for this event alone....we should be able to match you with someone to play with. Structurally, each team rolls a D6 to determine match up. For the individual players, the team that had the lowest roll chooses which of their opponents they and their teammate will play. Games proceed from there, all victory points from each team member go into the overall tally, and the team with the highest combined star at the end of 3 rounds wins the big prize.
Friday night at 7, we are having the 175 pt WOTC ONLY Team Tourney. Squads are reduced points to alleviate what could be a stale meta, and WOTC maps are used for nostalgia. As before, no duplicate uniques between the two squads, but otherwise no restrictions. I really encourage people who think they might be interested to sign up. Sometimes the team events get stalled precisely because of the slow sales--you don't want to commit yourself to an event that might not have enough players. I feel like if we could get even two more people for Thursday it would really bring people in.
Also, while the Thursday event is our regular competitive mins, the Friday one should be looser. If you know anyone signed up for the Chosen One tournament, encourage them to take a look.
Plugging our Gen Con events is really one of my favorite things. I'm sure I'll be back, just wanted to pop in.
