Place: Game Haven (9860 S. 700 E. Sandy, UT)

Time: Setup at 11 AM, First round starts at 11:30

Cost: Two Things:
Bring a can (or more) of food! I'd like to have a small food drive to donate to a local pantry! (Local partner of Utah Food Bank)
- AND/OR -
$5 - This will be put into a pot for store credit to be used as a prize.
Ideally we would like to see a can and the 5$ as much as possible. However, we won't turn anyone away, and will let you decide. Our first priority is helping you have a great time, and after that comes hoping you'll all help out as much as your situation allows!

Format: 475 Point Armies, 16 Figure Limit. (*No starting hex limit, only a figure limit. If you use a lot of double-spaced figures you may go over the standard 24-hex limit. So, for example, if you want to run Marrden Hounds x5 (15 figures, 30 spaces), extra hexes will be added to the start zone to allow room for them.)
Reverse-the-Whip (Every other game, you will play your opponent's army.)
4-Round Swiss System thingy, 45-minute rounds. Games that go to time will be determined by Traditional (Full Card) Scoring.

Insect Swarm! On a roll of 1-5, a swarm of stinging insects descends upon the land.

If your Hero was not engaged when it attempted to pick up the Treasure Glyph, move the affected Hero 3 spaces to an unoccupied space adjacent to a tree. The affected Hero takes no leaving engagement rolls and their turn ends. In the event that all eligible spaces are occupied, the affected Hero does not move and must roll 1 combat die for stinging damage. If a skull is rolled, the affected Hero receives 1 wound.

Bigga's FAQ

Spoiler Alert!

I'll be updating this list as questions are asked and as I think of things to add. It's just a list of questions I/other people often have about tournaments that I'd like to have in a place where anyone can find them, and where I can copy/paste for my future events.

Same-Sculpt Proxies: You can always proxy a figure of the same sculpt but different paint job (for example, you can use Nerak as a Swog Rider or a Swog Rider as Nerak). Just make sure that they're distinct from the rest of your army and that you have the correct card printed out for them.
On that note, you can also use same-squad-sculpt proxies. By this I mean figures like Samuel Brown can be proxied by any 4th Massachusetts Line squad figure, not just the one on the card. Same goes for Sir Hawthorne, Agent Skahen, etc. Again, just make sure that it is distinct from the rest of your army (put a sticker on the base or something) and that you have the correct card printed out.
Lastly, you can use same-sculpt DnD proxies. By this I mean that with the DnD waves the sculpts were taken from the DnD game. If you have the DnD mini you can use it as a HeroScape figure (so if you want to run the Firestorm build but don't have enough HeroScape fire elementals, you can use some DnD ones if you have them). Just make sure they are the same figure! And again, that you have the correct card printed out.
If you are going to use any proxies, it would always be good to let me know beforehand, so that if any issues arise I can say that I was made aware prior to the tournament and already ruled it acceptable. Also, if you have any questions about using other proxies that aren't same-sculpt or same-squad-sculpt, just PM me about it. I'm pretty lenient for the most part (won't allow anything ridiculous, but am lenient), and will probably just ask for pictures of the proxies you want to use and comparisons of them with other 'Scape figures.

In-Game Questions and Rulings: As the tournament director, if there are any questions that come up in-game that you would like a ruling, never hesitate to ask me! I'll be sure to be read up on the rules (and will probably have a rulebook with me just in case) and will be able to help provide direction. Even if I'm in a game, you can ask me and I'll pause the game. (Due to this, as potential in-game questions may prolong my own game, I will concede any games that I play that go to time if I had to pause the game at least once to answer a question. This will be done as a convenience for the person I'm playing and for their patience with potentially paused games.)

Sorry I made three threads! We'll make this the real one. My computer kept telling me the actions failed but I should have checked, sorry!!!

 

[Sir Heroscape]

I'm in. And so is podunksarmy...he's in Utah now...but just not active yet on the forums. Just waiting to hear back from my group.

 

[TREX]

For entry fee, why not just 5 bucks and a can of food. That way you still have a sizable prize pot and you get to do your food drive. I'm still not sure if I'll make it down yet. Give me some time though. I tend to work pretty much everyday, I'll have to request it off. Once I figure out if I'm coming, I"ll talk to my brothers to see if they are in.

 

[Scaperedude]

I should be on, and plan for up to three others as well... possibly four!!

I thought about that, but I thought that for those people who have aversions to paying (I've known a couple) that it would be nice to have some way to opt out with a can. But I think 5 bucks and a can isn't too much for people in general, so I'll change the wording on that to encourage that more.

And I hope you can make it down! Either True or I will be using the dice tower we got from you last tourney, so if you make it you'll get to see your creation in action! (It's been great to have around here, so we're super glad we won it! The Wo-Sa-Ga too!)

And great that you'll be making it Sir Heroscape and Scaperedude! It will be great to have you and hopefully a lot of your friends!

 

[Sir Heroscape]

@BiggaBullfrog look here on this post for my attendees:

Sir Heroscape (+2)

Waiting on more replies...

EDIT: My brother confirmed...
EDIT: Riley confirmed...

 

[TREX]

Put me down for a +1 and maybe a +1 more.

 

[Sir Heroscape]

Do we have a time set yet? Also...anyone heard from @The B.I.V. or @wjscaper ? There's another 4 to add if they come with their sons.

p.s. I'm +2 now

 

[BiggaBullfrog]

Oh shoot, I totally thought I updated the time. My bad. We'll be starting setup at 11am, then roll from 11:30am - 3:30 pm.

And that's 12 people RSVPed, 15 including maybes. It's great that we've got such a good amount right now, and hopefully we'll be able to get even a few more!

 

[TREX]

Hey @BiggaBullfrog, I'm back down to me +1. My one brother wont be able to make it.

 

[DaDude]

I should be able to come. I'm one of the people that Scaperedude is trying to bring along.

 

[BiggaBullfrog]

Awesome, I'll put you down. It will be great to have you!

 

[Sir Heroscape]

@Hamadraith confirmed he'll come
Put down @dreamscaper as a maybe.

EDIT: will you need help with maps? Or are you and the Utah crew gunna be able to take care of that?

 

[BiggaBullfrog]

More attendees! Awesome!

So far we'll be okay with maps. UtahScott and Scaperedude have offered to help bring some so so far so good - I'm working on coordinating those just now. I'll let you know if we need anything more though!

 

[ortimus]

Put me down as a Maybe.
And a +1 as a maybe too.

 

[BiggaBullfrog]

Put me down as a Maybe.
And a +1 as a maybe too.

Got you down. We hope to see you!

 

[BiggaBullfrog]

I looked in the mailbox and what did I see?
Prize support for our NHSD!
Open it up and what should I find?
It's green with eight legs and will blow your mind!

Only 9 days and counting; we're in the single digits now!

 

[Sir Heroscape]

Sir Heroscape (+2) +1 maybe

p.s. you may want to prep for 9-10 maps since 8 will be the minimum it looks like...and a lot of those maybes may end up making it. I'd be happy to suggest some of my maps from my thread for some last couple map spots
