Origins and GenCon

By doomofthepeople, in Star Wars: The Card Game - Organized Play


Hello,





I know the Worlds events have shifted to the FFG events but I was wondering if their would be a presence at hopefully both conventions this year.





Later days,





Tom


I can't tell you their plans for this year, but last year they had a huge presence at GenCon even with worlds elsewhere.

I know they had the NA Championships for some of their games at GenCon last year I was just hoping they had an idea of how they wanted to do things this year. It looks like building a playgroup in my area will take some time and if I could get in a large tournament at either GenCon or Origins for a national level warm up it would be nice. I understand that FFG doesn't attend Origins but perhaps they could get someone to run some events for them, I'm not even sure if their OP system is setup to allow to happen though. So much to learn withevery new system and company.

Are you the guy who used to do rankings for RD? Nick looks familiar

Yep, I did that for some time.

We learned in November 2012 that the NA championships will be at GenCon again this year. It is on their 2013 Organized Play Schedule

That is really cool! I have family in Indy - didn't realize that GENCON was there this year. Looks like that may be a possibility for me!

Gencon has been in Indy since 2003. Currently scheduled there till 2020.

Well then that is even cooler! I will be trying to work out the details to attend.

Hey Tom it's Gabe. We'll have to get together at GenCon and play some Star Wars..
