Out of curiosity for those so far north that can't make it to Gencon, is there a breakdown about what each event has? Perhaps I could incorporate some into our Canadian play. Rakghoul hunting specifically sounds found haha

yeehar!
Star Wars Five Sabres Race; could this be the kick-up-the-behind vehicles in SWMinis needed?
pod racing is fun stuff, so starfighters for this will be interesting indeed.

What events are you signing up for?
Here's my schedule:
Thursday:
2pm Championships
Friday:
9am Custom Star Wars Miniatures (cutting this one short to get to Epic Fan 4)
10am Epic Fantastic Four
3pm Tile Wars
Saturday:
2pm Battle Through the Ages
7pm Team Tourney
Sunday
10am Sealed
Note that Championships have only 16 tickets and only 7 available. Same thing for Sealed - 16 setas and 7 remaining. Most of the other skirmish events are 8 players and have between 6 and 4 tickets remaining each. Except for Intro & Casual Play - which has 16 seats but already only 1 ticket remaining.

I'm doing Championships this year. I haven't played in 2 years, but was excited to see the swm championships didn't fall on the same day as xwm championships this year.
