Well, we may not get to play minis at physical Gen Con this year, but that won't stop us from trying to organize some events. We will be hosting events on Vassal beginning on July 22, 2021 and ending July 25, 2021. All times are Gen Con Standard time (Eastern Time Zone). Times may be subject to change. To register for events, please contact UrbanJedi on Bloomilk or on SWMGamers. We will be attempting some prize support (and the prize support from last year WILL be forthcoming), details TBA.

Without further ado, here is the schedule of events:

Speak for yourself girl, I’ll be doing both! 😁

submitted! i'll be taking days off from work this year to attend more events. excited to finally get the chance to participate even more than last year!

Fantastic!

Updates made to the first post. Map lists and additional event details.

No, V-Set 22 is NOT legal for GenCon. The reason I said that I'd have Set 22 ready is because it'll be needed for the V-Set 22 Sealed event...nothing else.

That is what I thought. I just forgot about needing it for sealed.

Yes for the Team Tournament. Probably no to override closed, but I'll get back to you on that and the
Other questions.

Might want to put those rules into the first post

Thanks Laura!

Also - here's a link to TILE WARS rules. It has the legal list of tiles, so that's also relevant to the 100pt Jedi Challenge
