I WANT THAT COIN

I'd prefer a medal to pin on my chest over a coin that sits in my pocket

For me the best prize support in new ships what comes in the prize kit is ok but when you go to a tournament and the TO puts a lot of the money he made from the tournament back into ships or store credit that's awesome

Last tournament I was at there were 9 players the TO dived the kit up into nine prize pools so everyone got something and he also put in 2 small ship as random door prizes. He did the same for store champs a large box of ships was given away that day. Makes going to the tournament and paying the $15 worth it

So yes, FFG prizes are crap. Heck, I was at Gen Con, for 180+ players, they gave out a copy of Luke Skywalkers (woohoo...), Bad looking crit tokens to top 16, and templates to top 8, bags to finalist...Then you walk back and see 10 000$ Legendary Tournament...shake your head...

That's sort of the point. FFG doesn't want to bring in the prize obsessed, money players. Which is why cash will never be a prize. And the prizes are never going to be OMG great. Brings out only those that actually want to play.

Well I don't agree with you. Did you ever organize a tournament without prize support? Shouldn't the prize support reflects the entry fee? Spring, Summer and Winter kits are fine, for 25$, you get a decent kit. What I don't understand is the amount of money asked for Store Championships (80$+) and if you are lucky enough to host one, regionals (200$+!!). The concept to pay to support FFG games is quite weird. I am not saying they should give it for free, but at least have content that reflects the asking price.

I dont think you know the prices

Yeah, last I heard, it was $60 for Store Championships. So, either prices went up, or you are Canadian.

Are we really complaining about free stuff?

"Hey, this gifted horse has f***ed up teeth!"

Man, if you think that's bad, there was this one time my town got a gift horse and it was full of enemy soldiers that pillaged our city.
