Who: Everyone!

Where: Loves Park Top Cut

What: Storyline Tourney

50 Soulstone

I'll be flipping for the allowed schemes before each round. I will allow Faction schemes to be used.

Loyalty - Using an idea from my fellow Rockford-area Henchman (whose forum name I forget), I will allow people to pick a Faction or a Master. You may change the Master's faction to any faction they can legally use in between rounds.

I'll be using Story Strats for this tourney.

Round 1: The day starts out hectic as there's trouble in the Quarantine Zone.

Break Quarantine (Rippling Fates, page 48)

Round 2: .Just as soon as that mess is taken care of, the crew learns of an important train leaving for Ridley. Hope there's no trouble.

Train Robbery (Rippling Fates, page 138)

Round 3: And now after eventful day, everyone deserves a break. I think there's a wrestling match going on.

Fight Night (Crossroads, page 239)

"I got the continuity right!": Players will be awarded an extra Guilder if they use the same Master and the same Faction for the whole tournament.

When: August 6th 12:30

Why: Because trying new things is fun.

And since I realize these aren't as necessarily as balanced as Gaining Grounds Strategies, this is going to be a no-entry fee tourney. Prizes will be smaller, but the emphasis is on the fun over the competition.

Also, feel free to join my Facebook group if you have any questions. I'll answer them here, but I'll probably get them quicker on it.
