In the spirit of supporting cool alt formats, the Shuttle Tydirium is hosting a global Grayskull Narrative event! You can play locally, but anyone interested can sign up here to participate on Vassal .
If you're interested, check out the rules for the event, and guides on how to run the event locally HERE , on the shuttle's holodrive.
I hope you participate, and spread the word!

Awesome! Vassal seems like a great format for this, especially because it means I can play!
@Babaganoosh , how exactly do we submit our rosters? You just want shareable links, or standalone files, or what? (Got my Imperial roster ready! Looking forward to see if our Rebel performance at GenCon was just a fluke!)
BTW ... you may want to disallow Harpoon Missiles! (Also, no need to disallow Biggs on B(alance) any longer, though probably still on T(heme).
Finally ... I would really love to bring TIE Advanced, but paying full price for their (effectively free in squad building) Systems upgrades is just cost prohibitive. I suspect it's going to be similar with Vaksai Kihraxz and StarVipers. (And even with A-wings.) The problem is that their "not fixed" cost is just too much to put into the squadron roster, even when you can use their "fixed cost" when you build lists.
My suggestion would be that any upgrades that have a discount MUST be a part of the ship. So, for example, you would no longer bring a "Tempest Squadron Pilot" for 21 points, you'd bring a "Tempest Squadron Pilot, TIE x1, AdvTC" for 22 points.
I realize this cuts into the modular build-out that is part of the appeal of having all separate components in the rosters, but surely that's better than just never seeing these ships in the campaign?

Yeah; the TIE advanced bug is something I'm not happy with... the title discounts do make modular rosters like those in grayskull a problem. In the eventual 2.0 it should be resolved more satisfactorily.

Okay, cool, but what about my question (which was the real reason for the post)? :-)

SOrry! I got cut off when typing my response and forgot to follow up.
you can submit rosters either as documents or links to online docs; either way, email them to [email protected]
Already have a few rosters submitted!

Cool! You've got a good idea of what a beast this is to run; good luck!

Ouch. Tuesday is Halloween night. Why didn’t anyone tell me?
Ok, at best we will have to do our own thing... we’ll report results should it get the green light.
Yeah, it’s a bit of a monster to run but should be fun
This sounds like a lot of fun!! Count me in! (will submit the rosters in a day or two)
Thumbs up for the initiative!
Are the local event and the vassal one separate, or are the results combined?
Are you guys working with anyone to get VASSAL terrain done? From my understanding, it's not very difficult, although I don't really know the procedure. @Mu0n729 could probably point you in the right direction.

I'll give out some guidelines, but basically the small terrain pieces are container token - shaped. For Grayskull itself, we'll probably want to use the HotAC base from that vassal terrain module
Rosters submitted
Looking forward to playing this awesome campaign!!
Should repost links to audio drama.
How are the signups going? I hope we have enough players
Any idea on the schedule for the campaign (when does the play start, how frequent are the games)?
I think 1 game per 2 weeks.
No idea on sign up (not my department).
Reading through the missions now before designing my roster(s). I am really excited to participate on Vassal with this stuff and will additionally be using stolen and modified versions of these missions to get some friends into X-Wing for the first time

If I participate in Vassal and also on the kitchen table, would both of my campaigns be included in the Global Campaign?
