Yes, all rounds for all events will be 75 mins. If a round completes early, we will start the next round.

Is there any cost for this? I just noticed the official "Gen Con Online" is charging I think $2 per event. Are we doing it through them or just off on our own?



Ours are free. I didn’t want to go officially through the Con and that shows it was a good choice.

Am I missing something? I have the new module. I am online now (15:30 EST) but no-one is online. It can't be over can it?

Still a maybe for a couple others. Anyone planning to do all 10?

Every now and then I wonder if I am even literate. I have been looking forward to coming online this weekend and watching some games.

I would love to. But the main event - 9pm for me with time difference. Four rounds of swiss on vassal? I am looking at not being done until maybe 3am. Not a chance. THe smaller events...maybe.

We'll miss you. You made GenCon in 2012... or was it 2013? I remember that I played you.


I'm playing in the Team Tournament and the Championship. I'd like to get some games in before then, but when I get on, Vassal is a ghost town.

I’m busy this week, but am often up for games!
The Summer is pretty free since I don’t go back to teaching until September and my summer gig is closed down due to Covid

Just shoot me a message

I remember that also. It is one of my fondest memories, especially of this game. I am pretty sure you hooked me up with a booster of custom figures that I was meant to get, but missed the booster event because I was sleeping in my brother's car in a parking area after being kicked out of the centre at like 4am for being found napping too many times.

Challenge to anyone crazy enough to take it up...

Use all 9 factions (not counting Fringe) across the 7 constructed events. For Royal Rumble you bring 3 pairs, so you get 3 factions in that event, which lets you get to all 9 factions.

Boy I sure wished Thrawn and Daala got banned as much as the 8th Cortex Shaper has been. I hear they have both been a lot worse, for a lot longer too. #free8thcortex

8th Cortex is well and truly broken in Tile Wars. Not sure why he got banned in 150, though. *shrug*
