Inquisitor Grand Tournament 2013 - 30/03/2013

[MarcoSkoll]

i gots my scenario pre-written

My scenario will entirely depend on whether Leander is or isn't done by then. After all this time, I'm not counting on it... but if she is, I've got two ideas pretty much ready to go.

My warband will depend on whether I can decide who to do. I may go back to Katlien Vance (who was supposed to appear two IGTs ago, but who I'll probably start over on, given my improved skills), I might do one of Rhodes' acolyte cells (likely lead by "Gala", who I lament not getting to use as a character) or I could get on with the Ecclesiarchy band.
I'm probably leaning towards Vance, as there's some fun dynamics in that group, but I'm not entirely sure.

my crew will depend on the 28/54 situation.. would like to know sooner rather'n later so i can start work :lol:

Hi everyone.

It hasn't escaped my attention that there are no concrete plans for the event, and even before Marco posted the other day I had made plans to contact the Warhammer World Events Team by phone on Monday to try and nail them down on confirming a date for the event.  When I was last in contact with them in the summer I was told to hold on until the calendar for March had been completed in October time.  I sent an email at the end of October which has yet to be replied to, so I will take action myself.  It would seem that the Throne of Skulls Fantasy and 40k tournaments are set to run in March, so we may be looking at April.  If the Events Team can't get us stapled in the diary as an Event then I will do as we do for every other campaign day and simply book some tables from the Warhammer World guys instead.   I doubt it will make much difference functionally to the day.

Once that's sorted I will see about putting together a player pack. 

As far as scale is concerned, I would assume that there will be the numbers for a 54mm tournament, and if there's demand I am happy to have 28mm as well.  For ease of scoring, the tournaments would be kept separate, with separate prize pots, and possibly one special prize for the best scorer of either scale on the day.

I would have asked on Skype, but it rather skipped my attention until after you'd left and Koval said something that reminded me.

I sent an email at the end of October which has yet to be replied to, so I will take action myself.

I mostly don't e-mail them any more, because it does have a habit of getting lost in the system.

we may be looking at April.

At least it's a few more weeks to not get things done.

I fully intend to attend again this time. Its been too long. 2009? I forget... Thanks to all for making the effort of organising this sort of thing.

I can field either 54mm or 28mm these days. Also have extra minis that could be brought along in either scale as grunts. If that helps.

[Van Helser]

So, phoning the Events Team results in 8 tables being booked on the 30th of March 2013 in about 5 minutes flat.

Once I get the pack sorted out I will have it up on Mediafire or somewhere similar for download.  I'll start advertising on other sites once I'm ready to offer the pack for download.

Hooray! Provided I don't suddenly have to work you can count me in!

[MarcoSkoll]

Its been too long. 2009? I forget...

Must have been longer than that; that was the first time I appeared, and I was one of only 8(+1) people that year - none of whom were you, as I recall. Unless you were in disguise...

@Van Helser: Cool beans. They're usually more responsive to phone calls (I did ring once and get told they were in a meeting, but they did call me back fairly pronto).

I've been assuming, based on your earlier statements about no significant changes to the format, that the event pack will tell me that my character and scenario needs will be much the same as previous years. (And thus working on three PC models and a ~75 minute scenario is a safe bet.)

[Necris]

If I recall correctly I missed this years and last years but have been too all others

I'll need to sit down and think about my scenario and I'm swayed to 28mm at the moment though if there are no more 28mm entrants I'll do 54mm, could do with know who'd bringing what as my scenarios will be dependant on what scale I'm using, could we possibly get a list on the front page of what scales people are planning to use?

[greenstuff_gav]

Greenstuff_Gav: 28mm & 54mm (prefer 54mm)

isit 75min per game? there's a turn limit on my scenario and it'd be good to time the playtests  

[MarcoSkoll]

If I recall correctly I missed this years and last years but have been to all others

Nah, you must have been at 2011 - you GMed the game where Kaede Mack had kidnapped the astropath. (One of seven alleged Kaede Macks that Inquisitor Skoll met that day). But you're not on my mental list of who I remember at IGT '09 though.

Could we possibly get a list on the front page of what scales people are planning to use?

If the two competitions are separate, I'll be 54mm for this one.

I enjoy both scales, but 54mm is mostly me making the models for the characters I want (even if that's a character who was inspired by an appearance in artwork), and 28mm is mostly me making the characters for the models I want to buy.
Both approaches are fun, but I'm usually stronger on a character first approach.

Also, 28mm doesn't give me any impetus to finish the Warhound.

[Van Helser]

I'm not intending on too many changes to the day at all - everyone will have 75 minutes to GM a game (including set up and player briefing) and be a player in another three as before.  Three model maximum for the warbands (no substitutes), and the GM decides how many characters play in his/her scenario.

I will add a list to the front page of the possible attendees, with their preferred scale.  It would be good to have an idea of numbers so I know whether it will be worthwhile to run one or either scale.

Ah Crap. You've booked Holy Saturday. Well that's me out then.

[Koval]

You've booked during Passover, so while I can definitely come along, I'll have to eat strange food and won't be having any beer (as it's made from grains we're not supposed to have during Passover).

I can theoretically do both scales, but I'd rather play at 54mm scale as Alice is at that scale, and so are the characters with whom she'd have a reasonable chance of interacting.

[Bloodpact]

54mm for me. I'll certainly be there as i missed the last one, and want to go one better than my 2nd place in 2011!

Now to plan my warband...
