It's penciled in. I'm a definite "maybe". Gotta defend Huzzah's Best VA Store cup.

I might have to defend the spoon in place of eChris

Just a reminder that this is coming up in ~3 weeks. Plus I slipped to the 3rd page, so wanted to keep this on peoples radar.

If we hit 16 players then the Nightmare sets are being added to the prize pool!!!

I would really love to make it to one of your tourneys sometime. I guess I should pay closer attention to the events section lol. Had I known about this a few weeks ago I would have totally taken off work to make the trip!! Next time!!

@Cornelious I try to post these on the Warmongers board as well. If there is a better place to let the LI crew know about events, let me know!

I have the same handle as I do here and on the Mongers boards.

I should be able to make it. That is assuming work doesn't decide they need me to come in that day. It'll be nice to play in a larger scale tournament. Our group up in Rochester has had terrible luck running tournaments.

I am excited to be able to say, games in this tournament will be eligible for credit toward Dead Heat campaign games. For those not familiar with Dead Heat: http://www.wyrd-games.net/showthread.php?32206-Coming-June-15th.

Both players just need to agree that the game is going to count toward Dead Heat, be playing different factions, and I will log the results toward the campaign!
