|

Quote: | Bring a 36-health army of a single race, with at most 4 commons, 3 uncommons, 2 rares, & 1 monster of any type, & fight it out |
The dice distribution adds up to 20-health, not 36. Should this be 8 common, 4 Uncommon, 2 rare, 2 monster? Or am I missing something? _________________ Collection |

Those limitations are per die.
So for example you can bring 4 pelters, but no more.
You can bring 1 troll, but no more.
You can bring 2 Necromancers, but no more.
Does that help? _________________ Multiplayer Champion Gencon11/Battlefest Champion(tied) GenCon10/World Champion GenCon07/National Champion Origins05/Intermediate Champion GenCon02/Novice Champion Origins99 |

That does, thanks.
I was also going to ask about the difference between sealed race and sealed kickers. Both are two sealed kicker packs right? It's the kickers tournament two different races?
As you can tell from the questions, I might be going to Gencon after all. I definitely can't afford it, but now that the family is interested it may happen anyways. Outside of obligatory volunteering at my cousin's booth, I'm hoping to sign up for as much Dragon Diceâ„¢ as I can get into. Assuming we do end up going. _________________ Collection |

Awesome.
If you do get to come stop by out booth and say hi to me or Chuck.
Out of interest, what booth is your cousin running?
and yes, sealed race is two kickers of the same race. Sealed Kickers might be the same or might be different.
we've done different methods in the past. Sometimes it is pure random on which races you get. sometimes it is a draft from a common pool.
Sometimes John (who runs most of the events) will say 'X' is cliff's least favorite race, so he has to play them. and it's a bit less random for me. _________________ Multiplayer Champion Gencon11/Battlefest Champion(tied) GenCon10/World Champion GenCon07/National Champion Origins05/Intermediate Champion GenCon02/Novice Champion Origins99 |

He is with Tabletop Co-Op, a group of independent game designers. His game, which he has several demos for, is Shadow Over Westminster.
I'll definitely come by to say hi. My only regret is my first Gencon won't be as a Dragon Diceâ„¢ rep. But it might be a good opportunity still to get playmats and avoid shipping costs.  _________________ Collection |

No Gencon this year.
High unplanned expenses and having to cancel/reschedule so much for a last minute "let's go to Gencon" was tough, but the desire to go was winning.
But then there's a work event that I was specifically hired for and kept getting delayed for months that's finally going to happen, with Gencon right in the middle of it. I probably shouldn't bail on that...
But two good things:
-all those savings for not paying airfare and food can now go towards a Kickstarter starting soon!
-we as a family are committing to attend next year. So it will be planned and be easier to avoid schedule conflicts. _________________ Collection |

That's too bad.
but next year if you want to volunteer time we'll be there! I normally ask for volunteers early in the year.
with your family you'll probably want your own hotel room. so that also happens early (like February). It's a land run, to get a room. _________________ Multiplayer Champion Gencon11/Battlefest Champion(tied) GenCon10/World Champion GenCon07/National Champion Origins05/Intermediate Champion GenCon02/Novice Champion Origins99 |
