Can I get a Worlds Recap (Prizes etc)

By ccgtrader99, in 1. AGoT General Discussion

In short since Gencon this year was an not fun for me at all, I decided to buy other games and skip worlds. My question is, was it worth it? (Please no posts about it was great to hang with the community, I know they are the best already).

It isn't always about the prizes and internet fame, but I was curious about what attendees got. Did all players get a cardboard box and alternate title cards and yet another play mat like at Gencon? Was there anything new or interesting we haven't seen before? How about the top players in joust/melee? I won a pin the size of a dime for 8+ hours of play a couple years back. I'm not trying to sound too bitter but its going on 3+ years of play mats, pins and alternate art house card/titles.

I know FFG is pretty good at listening to feedback, and while entertaining, the 2C&C podcast ragged on the prize support (imho rightfully) pretty hard. Did anything change? Or was it just another example of great game, better community your reward is hanging out with us?

the winners all got gigantic ******* warhammers, and thats not a curse, thats really what those items should be named because they are rockstar.

All preregistrants got a shirt. Melee players got alternate-art title cards and a cardboard box. Joust players all got a playmat. The Overall winner got King Robert's Hammer (from Valyrian Steel), and the top Melee/Joust/Overall all get to design cards - and got trophies.

Oh, and everyone who preregistered got a far-in-advance copy of the Star Wars LCG. So… that was pretty awesome.

Everyone who pre-registered received a copy of the new Star Wars core set. The overall champ received Robert's Warhammer as this year's weapon prize. Other than that, standard FFG prize support.

Thanks for the feedback guys. So it was a T shirt lcg copy of SW that was new from what I gather. That is neat, but over all nothing new for the top 16/8/4/2?

top four in melee got special house cards (looked real nice) and uncut sheets, or so i hear. not really sure cuz according to the final standings i didnt participate ;)

Ya, that sucks. I'm sorry you guys got screwed. I'm glad to hear that they at least are doing something for the guys who did great, but didn't win.

The Top 4 in Joust also received the very sweet-looking acrylic House cards and the standard uncut sheets.
