We were really thankful for all the help we had with prizes! 

 

Fauxmaha was held at Nuke-Con in Omaha, NE at the Ramada Convention Center. It was held by myself, Victoria, and LordZombie. We had a large room that we shared with a few other gamers, but mostly had it to ourselves. Friday night we had Open-Play where we had about 8 players show up to hang out for a bit. Sunday we had an awesome Cabin in the Woods Style Story Encounter with MORE prizes!

Saturday was the Masters starting at 12:30. It was 50ss, Fixed Faction, 3 Rounds, and a lot of fun! We had 16 players that came out from Nebraska, Iowa, and Texas! Raffle tickets were awarded for playing the game, an additional one for tying, and an additional two for winning. We also awarded Black Joker damage flips a ticket (occurred 17 times). We had ALL SEVEN FACTIONS represented (with the Ringer playing Gremlins) with the largest showing from Neverborn and Arcanists. We had former champions of major tournaments battling it out on our tables. We had an amazing time and we thank everyone who could make it out!

It was alot of fun, got to play alot of great games. Way to go neverborn for the sweep.

[dreads]

I had a great time. A big thank you to everyone who ran it. Can't wait until next year.

[Argentbadger]

Nice pictures; I do like to see some in-game shots.

[BPol]

It was a lot of fun for my first tournament. I'm happy with 4th place both days, but I'm gunning for the top three next year. The Arcanists will not be denied!

[ddot]

I wonder if there will be any special guest(s) from the top 3 on the S&S podcast...

[Trample]

Is it concerning that 1st, 2nd, and 3rd were all neverborn?

[EnternalVoid]

Is it concerning that 1st, 2nd, and 3rd were all neverborn?

Nah, considering like 5 out of the 16 where Neverborn, they were just reclaiming what was theirs.

[doctorlucky]

5/16 Neverborn

4/16 Arcanist

4/16 Outcast

1/16 Guild

1/16 Resser

1/16 10T

Ringer when one player dropped to go to a wedding was a Gremlin.

 

As far as placing went for first through seventh it was Neverborn x3, Arcanist x2, Outcastx2. Which representing most of the tourney is what I assumed. Just thought it would mix up a little bit haha. 

[Paddywhack]

Hmm. Some of those table seem a little light on terrain for my tastes. Lots of open LOS. Still, looks like a great time was had!

[EnternalVoid]

Normally play Guild myself at events that required painted stuff but I decided I wanted to change things up and had worked to round out my Neverborn.

I think there was enough Terrain per say, just maybe not enough terrain that block LOS on some tables *so nowhere to hide*.  There was a lot of cover though.

[doctorlucky]

Yeah not biased or anything but there was plenty of terrain. More LOS blocking would have been good. If it was sparse terrain, I don't think Neverborn would have been in the lead. I'm sure the outcasts or guild players would have had the advantage.
