DMF Las Vegas Map?

I was just wondering if anyone knows what map will be used at dmf vegas? I believe it's going to be the tri color teams.

DMF Vegas Hotel Rate

2465615 — Mon, 16 Nov 2009 01:07:20 GMT

So, the website here suggests UDE was able to negotiate a rate down to $79 a night from 12/3 to 12/6. This is certainly quite a nice deal folks, so while you may experience the same sticker shock I did when you look(ed) at Vegas Flights, the rooms are going to be great.

If you or someone you know is still scrambling for a room, please post here or get him or her to do so.

I hope to see you there! As always, it will be a pleasure judging for you.

Cheers!

Denver, CO?

2814631 — Sat, 29 Aug 2009 04:43:47 GMT

Is there anyone interested in getting a Battleground going up in the Denver area? I'm in Golden for school, so anything on the Western end/Lakewood area is good for me.

Only one Sat. Constructed qualifier at Ashenvale?

2486571 — Thu, 05 Nov 2009 08:34:49 GMT

I thought I read somewhere that there would be at least two constructed and one sealed qualifiers for Minis Realms on Saturday. However, when I looked at the information for the Ashenvale realms, it says that on Friday there is a constructed qualifier, and on Saturday there are two sealed qualifiers, but only one constructed.

Is there somewhere I can request that they include at least two constructed qualifiers on Saturday? I thought that that was a base requirement for minis realms to begin with.

Teldrassil Realms - Who's coming to KY?

2412136 — Thu, 15 Oct 2009 18:08:47 GMT

So, with Realms coming up, I figured I'd make a post to see who all is coming to KY for the Teldrassil Realms. I'm not sure what the turnout would be so I'm just trying to get an idea. I know that I'll be there along with 1 or 2 friends.

Feralas Realm Champs, who's gonna be there?

The hotel is very close to the previous location. Please spread the word about this to everyone you know in the TCG and Minis community. I'm going to be in FanBoy3 all of tomorrow if anyone needs to know more, just make sure everyone in the community you know is aware of this.

Local Tournament Maps

3033594 — Fri, 30 Oct 2009 19:16:12 GMT

For those of you who run tournaments, how do you handle map choice? Has anyone ever made their own maps out of the blank deluxe maps and distributed them?

2412136 — Thu, 29 Oct 2009 23:06:42 GMT

So I know the address for it but that's all I know. Does anyone know any of the times or who the T.O. for it is going to be?

Syracuse/Winterspring Roll Call

1754046 — Tue, 27 Oct 2009 04:33:18 GMT

Seems like a good time to start the minis roll call thread for Syracuse. I have heard a few people not coming for various reason and wanted to see if I could get a decent estimate of who was showing up.

Play the Game, Read the Story is about an hour away (where I went for the Core release event almost a year ago) and I will be commuting to and from the shop each day. The schedule for the four qualifiers can be found here.

From what I have heard, Ming, Chris Hurd, and Jean-Phillipe will be there. Who else? Any of the Rochester crowd? Will we have more or less than the 28ish we had last year during the qualifiers for Winterspring?

Also, anyone know who our judge is going to be?

So who is going to beat me up at the Tanaris Realms?

2678688 — Thu, 22 Oct 2009 21:41:08 GMT

Well it is official that it is in San Diego so who all is going to come over and smack me around a bit? hmmmm? that mountain is looking mighty comfortable...

This will be my first tournament bigger than a battleground so I want as many of you to show up as possible!!!

Hey, we just started our OP league and were wondering about how much the kits usually cost.

Realms Map - KoTH

3066427 — Sat, 17 Oct 2009 07:51:15 GMT

All I can say is... Lines of sight much?

I feel like this will turn into a pretty big shoot out. Or another W for Jaina Zoo.

"Let's see... Spawn all my pets, camp them around VP, you can't reach me. I'll AOE everything, and GG."

I dunno. I really feel like the lack of terrain on this map just thrashes the need for a lot of deviation of what we have already established as awesome.

Unless...

Umbrage on that hill with stealth seems pretty good...even better next to Jaina.

BTW: Map posted here.

New Player in Austin, TX

3066428 — Wed, 14 Oct 2009 20:25:00 GMT

I'm a new player in the Austin, TX area. I found on another website that Dragon's Lair runs friday night events at 7pm, and Juniors Comics runs Saturday 5PM events.

Are these both correct? I can't make the friday night ones (friday night...srsly? Come on...), but saturday late afternoon is more doable.

Please let me know. :)

Realm Championships

2412136 — Wed, 23 Sep 2009 16:19:21 GMT

So I was curious about the fall Realm Championships coming up on Nov. 14th and 15th. Looking at the event information, nothing is mentioned to the minis. The minis link actually goes over to the TCG Realm Championships page. I guess I'm mainly looking for any kind of confirmation that there will be a minis Realm Championship on that date. Any kind of announcement or answer that someone can give me would be much appreciated.

T- Minus 30 days...

899327 — Thu, 15 Oct 2009 04:26:39 GMT

We gonna get a map soon I hope? Realms is right around the corner and any insight to the map would be great. We know it's King of the Hill, but knowing which map would be great!

Wink, wink, nudge, nudge!
