Hey - I want to confirm that royal rumble is NOT a team event this year


It has been confirmed that it is not a team event this year FYI


Also - I have talked the rapscallion Gerry Russel (Darph_Nader) into playing in this event. Anyone who is ever played Royal Rumble with Gerry knows that it's an immense amount of fun.

Death Race has 4 tix for the 9:00 AM session left and 1 left for the 1:00 PM session. The 11:00 AM is sold out. All are on Friday. I run it, you know it's good.

The RPG events sold out right away, and I am very interested if there is any thought towards adding another time Friday or Saturday around 1

Updates on number of seats sold for the skirmish events:

14/16 Championships (200pts constructed)
3/8 Epic Fantastic 4 (4 characters, 250pts, exactly 1 character cost 85+, epics legal)
7/8 Tile Wars
6/8 Royal Rumble (3 dynamic duo pairs per player)
16/16 Intro & Casual Play (Not sure of the format, but you get some minis while you play)
8/8 Through the Ages (pre-constructed squads, new squad each round)
6/8 Team Tourney (200pts constructed)
11/16 Sealed (set 16)

Not much movement the past few weeks, so 6 of the 8 events still have seats if you haven't signed up yet. But 4 of them have 2 or fewer seats remaining.

Do you have an event ID for this one? I assume this is a booster draft for vset 16? Hows that work exactly?

edit: NM, ID:NMN18125663

Sealed is:
NMN18125663

Not a draft. People in the community (not me - don't worry) have been making customs of the Vset 16 characters. 7 are randomly put into a bunch of white boxes along with the stat cards. You get two of those white boxes - effectively boosters. Build a squad using the 14 characters you pulled. Keep the customs! 125pt squads. Tournament is (I believe) 4 swiss rounds.

Just curious, do we get a deck of the v-set cards at GC too?

If you donated, decks are handed out at GenCon. In sealed, you get cards for the pieces in your boosters but not a full set.

(Actually, even if you didn't donate you can probably get a deck.)

Do all the tournaments have the standard map list (outside the championships, Royal Rumble, and tile wars?)

It looks like Epic fantastic 4 is on a set map (they will provide)

Team Tourney is restricted list

Sealed is standard (per usual)

TILE WARS thread bumped for legal tiles info.

Look at thread for specifics, but in summary:

I've very belatedly added TJ's 2015 suggestions from the Dimensional Time Ship Terrain Tile Set, and added this addendum:

since it's such a minor event now (errr - even moreso) - we will allow any tile that has been released since 2015 and fits the criteria, upon judge AND participant consensus approval. I.E. - if everyone is cool with it. In other words, if it's not specifically abusive - it should be fine.

For anyone on the fence for Epic Fantastic Four, I'm going to put together a second squad just in case someone stops by and wants to play but doesn't have a squad.
