I am so bummed. DEXCON finally moves its date so it doesn't conflict with a mid-July commitment I have had-and we'll be in Florida on vacation that week.

My mom and sister are coming to visit, and I doubt they would appreciate me taking off for a CON while they are here. Bummer.

C0820: Dragon Dice Novice Tournament. No attendees for this event.

C0855: The 2012 U.S. National Dragon Dice™ Championship – Although 4 players qualified, only three attended. Jared Schuller successfully defended his title. This event was run as an Alpha tournament, with four rounds. The first round was multiplayer, which Frank Warren won the old-fashioned hard way: He wrestled an early 8th Face from Gavin Youngs and held onto it as he contested Jared Schuller for a 2nd terrain. Frank had good luck on his maneuvers and enough luck with his saves to win with a 2-point Undead at his first 8th Face, which rolled an ID for magic to cast Restless Dead on his second army of 3 dice (4 health), which then scored 4 maneuvers + the Restless Dead to take the second 8th Face. The next three matches were round-robin, so all players had a match against each other. Jared won both of his matches to score 4 points, while Frank had to settle with 3 points for the 1st round victory, as he lost both of his 1-on-1 matches.

C0859: Dragon Dice Novice Tournament. No attendees for this event.

C0860: Dragon Dice Playtest Session. No players for this event.

C0953: Dragon Dice Playtest Session. Frank Warren’s Feral defeated Jared Schuller’s Goblins, and the same significant recommendation for the boardgame was made during this playtest session to have the names of the colors printed on the territories.

C0952: Dragon Dice Novice Tournament. No attendees for this event.

The "lucky pull" of the convention goes to Dusty Youngs, who purchased one kicker of Frostwings and pulled a Magus out of the box.

Hi Joe,
Welcome to the forum. I look forward to seeing you at next year's DREAMATION and/or DEXCON conventions. You will find a lot of information on the forum, but if you have any questions about the game or the rules, feel free to PM me. I also suggest downloading the full rules, which are more up-to-date than the booklet in the 2-player starter set.

Jared Schuller's 2012 US Championship Army

Summoning Pool
1 x black/gold drake
1 x black/gold wyrm
1 x 3-health green dragonchamp
1 x 2-health black dragonkin
1 x 2-health gold dragonkin
1 x 2-health green dragonkin
2 x 1-health black dragonkin
1 x 1-health green dragonkin
no minor terrains

Army
1 x gold medallion
1 x Gargoyle
1 x Unicorn
3 x Leopard Riders
2 x Eagle Knights
1 x Enchanter
1 x Conjurer
1 x Dragolord

Terrains
1 x Coastland City
1 x Swampland City

Jared used blue magic to cast Windwalk and/or Lightning Strike to help maneuver or remove threats. Wall of Ice was used a few times, and Flash Flood was available as an option - although not used during his three matches. The Unicorn and Gargoyle offered Dispel Magic, which came up for him a few times when needed, but they also offered their racial abilities when maneuvering. The Dragonlord generated quite a few Cantrips during Jared's matches, offering diverse spell options from Burning Hands to Path to Windwalk, or helping the Selumari magicians during a magic action.
