Its closer than you think. Gencon2011 in Indy is just around the corner... August will be here before you know it.

I got notification this morning that our events are finalized and placed. We are at the TCG Hall at tables Green 1-5. I'm working on getting a map of the hall so we know where we are located.

Here is a chart of the events and descriptions.

Reps who are coming to Gencon, start thinking about 'preferences'.

This is probably a duh! question, but what exactly constitutes an expansion. I see many of the events say no expansion.

It's the new terminology for what used to be called magestorm. If you check out the rulebook there are sections called expansions .

Basically it's artifacts, medallions, dragon kin, minor terrains, etc.

Basically it is anything that isn't found in a starter or kicker.

Actually, while all the Eldarim champions are allowed, and Wasteland and Feylands are allowed, hybrid dragons are not. Also not allowed: special terrains, minor terrains, all magic items (including medallions), white dragons, and Kings' Die.

Perhaps we should make it Advanced rules vs not. In any case, I'll make sure the new layout takes it into account.

when we word the events next year we will use that terminology instead.

What are tickets and genrics? This well be my first gencon this year so idk.

chuckpint · Posted: Tue Apr 19, 2011 8:53 pm GMT Post subject:

Tickets are event tickets for a specific event. It reserves you a spot in that event. You can also buy generic tickets. They are just that, generic. So you can show up for an event and hope to get into it with generic tickets. Cost is the same for either method. So what the advantage of event tickets? You have a spot in the event for sure. And if you are preregistered, you simply get those tickets with you badge. So what's the advantage of generic tickets? Simply that if you did not preregister, you don't have to stand in a (usually long) line to get event tickets.

So I preregistered already, does that mean I have to wait in line? The site said they well be avaiable may 1st. Can I just order them online and they come with my badge in the mail or have to pick them up?

Also another first timer question: Well y'all be selling dice there aswell? And what kind?

cliffwiggs · Posted: Wed Apr 20, 2011 10:23 am GMT Post subject:

If you pre-reg for events they should come with your badge.

SFR will be in the Exhibit hall. We will likely be booth 600 just off to the side of one of the three main entrances into the hall, but thats not final yet.

Gencon is saying that this is their biggest year for exhibitors, so it should be packed.

we will be selling all the product we have available on our website, but will be bringing a limited amount of some items that don't traditionally sell well. (shields etc)

Plus we usually have a few things that we do as a Gencon special... a few things we don't sell on our website, a new expected product release and usually a small surprise release. Smile

All Eldarim Champions has been done many times as a Battlefest army, although the composition varies, and the Crusaders could make life interesting.

Just wanted to share some information about the Gencon Event Pre-reg. It's been open for almost a month and there are still two months until Gencon starts.

I won't detail all of the pre-reg, but some of the more interesting...

The Thurs 7PM Campaign Playtest is SOLD OUT!

The Fri 10AM Quest Playtest has only one ticket left!

I was worried about scheduling SingleRace at Fri 9am, but it already has 7 people registered.

Similarly the standard Sealed Box Sat 9AM has 5 tickets sold already.

The Friday night Sealed event hasn't presold much, but it has been our biggested event the last two years and lots of new people will showup for the cheap starter.

Saturday at noon and 2pm, both Playtest events are on their way to being sold out.

Worlds and battlefest are doing well of course and even some prereg for the saturday night novice demo.

If we have the table space we won't turn anyone away (unless we run out of starters in a sealed event), but the more you can prereg the more it proves to Gencon that we are alive and kicking and need more tables!

That's great that the pre-regs are doing so well. I look forward to being busy running events and demos at the booth. Makes the time go much quicker. Now if we don't get the fire alarm pulled on Sat night all will be good Very Happy
