The 2018 World Championship (or casual friendly game) will be played LIVE on Vassal this Thursday night, 9pm central.

The Sith Holonews Network will provide LIVE commentary.


Log in to either or both if you want to watch and/or listen.

This is fully intended to be a fun and positive event for the community. Let's all make sure it is!

I hope my internet is switched over by then. If not I am going to Wendy's to watch haha.
Is there a way to turn off people from private messaging players as they are playing?

We'll most likely be in the same room (my dining room).

We both live in Chicago

If you're going to be in the same room, then why wouldn't you just play with physical minis and then livestream it? Or record it on video and post the video when it's finished? That would be cooler than Vassal.

Vassal dice are notorious and it is a completely different play I'm. If you are probably community interest into it, my vote is for real minis and live stream.

This is an embarrassing question but, if it's played on Vassal, do I have to go to vassal.com? Or Sithholocron.com? Confused

If it's played on Vassal, you will need to have Vassal installed to watch it. Vassal is a program that runs on your machine. You'll need to download and install it.

This thread has everything you need:

Or at least it does as far as I know. If any instructions have become outdated or any links have become broken please let us know and we'll (hopefully) get it updated.

I have a new computer that doesn't have Vassal yet, so if you don't beat me to it, I might check these instructions first myself.

Also, for those of us that can't watch it live, will there be a way for us to catch it at a later time?
