Warlord 4th Edition CCG - the epic fantasy card game

In the tournament by the sea Morghen the Unliving prevails once more. In a close final against Dimos Liberis’ Yavlo the gracious host Petros Meletakos went undefeated and chose Free Kingdoms as the Elves favorite enemy.

The faction distribution once more was very even: Every Faction was represented and none had more than 3 Warlords in the field.

During the night (literally) the Open tournament was completed, while the lights of the city sparkled from across the bay (did I mention what beautiful setting we have here?).

Today a light breeze has picked up, making it very comfortable to sit on the terrace. Currently we are waiting for some players to get stocked up on enough coffee to get going again, then we’ll continue with Doubles. These Warlord players here are a hardy lot, I can tell you.

… the ancient Greeks that is.

I am in lovely Loutraki now for the Greek Summer Campaign event. We are having lots of fun and I wanted to share with you from this last trip of the year.

How do the Greeks run a tournament?

Easy:

You sleep in, then have a nice breakfast on the hotel terrace looking out on the beautiful bay.

After that you decide to go to the beach, some guys went swimming (me included), then rejoined the others in the coffeehouse (looking out over the beautiful bay and the beach).

Time to go to the tournament, you think? No, lunch is first, loads of it, all shared on a table (the way only the Greek do it). Did you say Ouzo? No, of course there was nothing of that. I still feel dizzy from not having any.

So now we are back at the hotel, trying to get the tournament software to run and we are about to start soon. My, it’s way to hot, really. It’s 5 p.m. btw ;-). If you ever entertained a thought (the European warlord players that is) to come to Greece - next time Manolis organizes something you really should! We are having a blast!

KoHIT is coming closer - and I have put up the preliminary information in a separate page to the right. Ask your questions and I’ll keep adding to the page.

Here are the full Standings after Swiss for the GenCon Singles Tournament. (more…)

We are back from GenCon. There’ll be more results soon, but here’s the most important one: Matt Cotton won the North American Championship with his Morghen the Undying deck in a very decent field of 62 players.  Congratulations, Matt!

In the finals he beat Chris Dalbo’s Logan Ebonwoulfe, Corey Paradise playing Krenthor Gouge took third place due to better placement in the swiss rounds than Tommy Pistole who played a surprising Pinion deck.

The distribution of factions was amazingly even: Every faction had at least 6 Warlords in the field, at most 12. Also every faction was represented in the cut!

These past weeks have been a blur. Making sure we have the TC set at GenCon, coordinating the crew (well most of the work there was done by our booth captain), hotels, events, shipping product, building ML decks, making lists what to take with me, etc., etc. would have kept me busy just by themselves.

On top of that it’s kindergarten vacation, which means I get to spend more time with my kids (which is great - it’s only that a day just has 24 hours).

And a few other clients picked this time to make some requests. Not to mention our IRS equivalent demanding some figures.

In the end it took me an awful long time to get the orders from our Sell-a-thon processed.  They are now being processed, but as many of you will know, Don - the great guy who ships out the Warlord game packs in the US - just had a hip replaced and I’d rather see some packages arrive late than him straining himself too much.

So, just in case - my apologies to you, if your orders don’t come through as swiftly as you are used to!

Some people asked for clarification on rules for Doubles.

After intensive discussion with the Warlord Tournament Organizers the Warlord 4E Floor Rules were compiled and are ready for download.
