| Hey spikegif,
I still don't know if I will be able to go to the ID qualifier. Now my relatives are coming up this weekend and I'm not sure if I'll be able to leave. All I know is that I really want to. Do you have a guess at about what time I might get back home. Anyway, I'm going to the Blackrose today and that campaign event sounds cool. I hope we can do that. I know of at least one other player (patrick) that will be attending the black rose events on a regular basis. I hope to see you there tonight. | |

Good Luck to all | |

| On 7/2/05, Corim Danex was the winner in the 100 point assault tournament at Game Den.
There were only four of us due to the Idaho qualifier luring away several players. However, there were enough for a round robin competition. Dice didn't go well for some today. | |

I am not sure of any players in Lehi, but the Game Den does have a store in Provo (Provo town mall)? they may be able to inform you on other players in your local town. | |

I talked to spikegif earlier today, and he didn't know yet. The shop hadn't announced. With one week to go, I think they should decide very soon. | |

I do not know what the start time and cost will be. I received an email Thurdasy from the TO and he did not have a start time or cost figured out yet. He did give me a cost range, but I hope he does not think he will be charging that much for 2 boosters. I think he is still thinking that it is a starter and 2 boosters.
this is what I dislike about the events being run at this location. No one knowes what is going on and they can not decide on what they are going to do. I have not been in for over a month because of vacation and a trip to the the ID qualifier, so I have not been able to get them to select a time. I hope to have some info late Monday. | |

so far the Blackrose format is open to what every you feel like playing. I do not often play 500 pt as I do not carry around the minis for it (Huge minis are not often use and thus stay home). If you would rather do 500 and not the campaign, I see no problem with that. | |

| actually I still want to do the campaign, I was hoping to have someone who will be showing up bring a 500 PT army and show up either early or late so I can start playtesting armys to see how they work out.
The only 500 PT game's I've played have been in drafts or sealed box tournaments. | |

That is disappointing. I'm hoping for a $20 entry fee and will accept up to $25. Over that and I'm not sure it is worth it. It seems like these things should be decided well in advance so that some advertising can be done.

The tournament starts Saturday at noon. The entry fee is $25.00. There will be 2 Angelfire boosters for each person. It will be 200 pt sealed from those two boosters. | |

I thought it was going to be $30. I agree that $25 is still high. $22 would have been better if they weren't going to do $20. | |

| | That is a bit pricy considering that for the Deathknell pre-release they charged only $5 more and it came with an extra starter set. As for Blackrose this Thursday, I know I am one of the few regulars so I thought I'd let you know that I can't really do a 500 point game because I've never bothered collecting the huge pieces. Sorry. But I still hope to see at least one other person there this time. It would be so much better if we could get four. | |

If not I would also like to get more practice in with my new 200 PT warband and I'm also looking forward to the Campaign game as I think its really fun. | |

you know that they will not offer anything else other then what is being sent. (1 case of anglefire and event repaint) I am sure that there will be extra older retail kit repaints given out. | |

| Considering boosters retail at 12.99, 25 for the pre-release is more than reasonable. Prize support is determined by WOTC, however participants still will get tile/repaint etc. from the league kits.
If 25 is too much, I'd suggest playing in the 200 PT sanctioned event for 5 bucks following the "Anglefire" Pre-Release event. Prizes same as every Sat.
Incidentally, the FAQ had a nice tidbit, play top four, and if over 32 players, play off the top eight. | |

| I'll vote for spikegif. If for no other reason than to keep myself from being nominated [)]. As far as the cost of the PreR, I kind of figured that $25 was fine, I'm more looking forward to getting some long overdue game time in.
Just counting down the days at this point.

| hmmm... the cost just seemed a bit more expensive than I remember it ever being.
I seem to be the only one who feels this way though so things must have changed while I was in Iraq. | |

Well, thank you.
I thought I already have done that. I started running events after the GoL release event when the current judge dropped the ball. the only store in SLC that I talked with that had any desire to do so is the Game Den. One on the owners plays, but he spends most of him time at their other store in Provo. From info that I have gathered, WotC has limited prerelease and Major events to retail locations only. I have no desire to start a retail shop as I only care about rpg and DDM (SWM at times) and not for any of the cash cow card games.
I have tried to get other locations to start events, but my time is limited that I can offer to help them. I have talked to the Blackrose about running events. If we get enough players to the Thursday actvities, they may start something, but I don't think they will have any major event for some time. | |
