I don't plan to attend, but I sure hope it will be streamed.
Oh it will be, the finals at the very least
Looks like it might be taking place in the Radisson Hotel next door? Haha that's kind crazy
Well, my name is in the drawing. Fingers crossed.
My name's in there too! I was surprised it's only 6.5 hour drive away from me.
I gotta see if I have time off left. If I'm hoping to make it to the finals, I won't be able to work Friday so that's 3 days I'll need to ask off. Not sure I have the time.
Assuming I do, I'll definitely be registering.
I signed up. Wish it was Friday/Saturday instead of Wednesday/Thursday though.
It's interesting how they have the events spread out, there's going to room for a ton of Netrunner and L5R players.
I wish I could go!!!
Like all things, not worth 1000 USD trip just to play a game.
I'll be looking forward to seeing the painting contest entries.
Somebody take lots of pictures! Unfortunately the Runecasters can't make it. Our real jobs make us, like, work for our money or some garbage like that.
Too far away. But would be a great reason to paint the rest :'D
Wraithist and I have both applied hopefully we'll see some of you cool cats there.
good luck to all.

Actually, I went to the last two Worlds events and the banquet room at the Radisson is the perfect spot for a lot of their competitions. It's where they hold the Armada and Imperial Assault events, and Armada is literally the same table space as Rune Wars is.
True story: last year I was playing in the Conquest world championship and I set up for my first round match.... and noticed I forgot my deck and tokens. My deckbox was empty. Fortunately I had time to jog down the hall to my room and get my deck.
Looking forward to my third Worlds in 12 months and best of luck to you all in the drawing!!!
Just noticed it isn't in their HQ it is outside, that's different.

It looks like just day 1 is at the Radisson? Probably because Netrunner is on the same day.

I think day one of AGoT is the same day, but it also likes like some kind of L5R ceremony/side event, which will probably have a ton of people.
They had some side events and smaller tournaments (Armada, Imperial Assault, Conquest) in the Radisson the last couple of years. It's not ideal, but still a decent venue, and pretty close to the games center. Most people attending Worlds actually stay at the Radisson.

But you also get to sample fine American cuisine! There's a Chili's just down the street!

Same to you!
Glad to hear everything runs smooth in the Radisson. I guess I shouldn't have been surprised though, two years ago at worlds I played in the AGoT tournament inside of their shipping warehouse.
What do you think the capacity for Runewars will be in the banquet room?
