in the (early) card of the week article this was posted in big and different font.....i wonder what it is. Probably related to the big thing they are doing with GRRM?

the cards themselves are okay...both could be use...the stark location more so.

I was wondering when people would remember that Defenders CP#2 was theoretically released from distributors yesterday.

I ordered yesterday it from CCgarmory :-) with 5 italian friends :-) Very courious about Benjen Stark and waiting stark stuff... location spoiled seems useful... but I want "distruction" :-)

is that what you think the big announcment is? I think it has to be something else...they really make a big deal out of the big announcment so I think its either a tourney (the one in MN and probably during the already announced GRRM/game of thrones weekend in november) or a new league kit or something like that.

It could be software related.

1. FFG has a post for a software developer, it includes a variety of knowledge, but it looks like it could be a web app or a traditional app they want help on.

2. I've noticed an increase in online play with OCTGN, and the fact that Mainn's site is not up to date.

Hence FFG may have decided to put their own tool up like Wizards does.

I didn't think that was the announcement. I was referring more to the fact that the spoilers from the article are said to be in CP#2. It's unusual for FFG to beat this community to the "when's the next CP coming out" punch.

I would also guess that the big announcement is related to either the AGoT-LCG events at the Nov. weekend.

The other possibility I'd put forth is the still-unmentioned results from Storyline league #1.

Mainn's sit is not up to date because no one has sent him scans of the cards from PotS or the Defenders CPs. I usually do that, but have had a lot of other things on my mind the last 8-10 weeks.

ktom said:

Really? It would be a help to the community for someone to send him the scans soon so his site can stay up to date. Surely, Gualdo (and probably other people who have been playing on OCTGN) have these cards already scanned and could easily send them on to him?

Didn't know this was the situation. sure I'll send to him all scans this evening. The mail is the one of the site I imagine...

It would be a great help if a tool like this was available on the website. So we didn't have to rely on a Former Champion (love that card, wish it was unique) to maintain his own fansite after his playing days were through.

I've asked him that several times.

Sent cards to Tzu... anytime I'll create a new update for OCTG2 I'll work on this task ;-)

Anticipating the big announcement. Wonder where it is

The day is growing short...I was hoping to see something early so I wouldn't grow too anxious.

Too late.

It's about 1:20 pm in Minnesota...just getting back from lunch perhaps...any time now

I had thought it may be news that FFG had license for images from the HBO series, but there is still no announcement from HBO for the pilot to be picked up.

Personally, I prefer artwork to photos from movies for this game.

Is this LCG news? Hmm, rather boring as we don't get any events in Europe, I suppose.

C

its actually rather boring for me too. pay for airfare and hotel to gencon or this......easy choice and it ain't this.

the 'local' regional championships sound much more interesting.

Lars said:

You gonna talk Greg into hosting one at Between Books? That'd be awesome. He could just imitate George.

Was the regionals the big announcement? If so why would Agot have the distinction of a BIG announcement compared to the other LCG's especially since this would Warhamsters first season?

In italy there is not organized play. We are self organizated. No chance to make FFG recognize and support us... I hoped that this should be the shining future :-)

we'll see. even if we do apply, no guarentee we get picked...room/transport still a big issue for the store location.

Gualdo said:

Fill out the form and send it in. They may have to defer it to a European partner, but they will usually work with you if you want to hold some sort of Italian regional event despite little local business support.

Thx Ktom! I will do as you suggest!

Lars said:

Considering the relatively poor response to last year's "rolling regional" program, I'd be very surprised if any venue with a sincere interest and directed effort in hosting an event is turned down.
