6:00 pm Warmachine/Hordes Journeyman League
Entry Fee : $10 (one time fee for the whole league).
Overview Each week, rules are set to restrict the size and general composition of players’ armies. This will help encourage an Championship Awards (one of each per league) The awarded rank patches are modular. All players begin with the Rank 1 centerpiece patch and may earn additional Players earn Game Points by playing league format games. Wins are worth 3 points each. Losses and draws are worth 2 points each. Players earn Hobby Points for painting models in the faction they are playing within the league. These models do not have to be used at any time during a league game. For a painted model to score Hobby Points, it must meet the requirements listed in the Painting Requirements section. Hobby Points are awarded only for models painted during the course of this. Models painted prior to the start of the league do not count. Use the list below to determine how many Hobby Points a given model/unit is worth. Warcasters, warlocks, warbeasts, warjacks, and solos: 3 points for a large-based model, 2 points for mediumbased model, and 1 point for small-based model Example: Billy paints six Exemplar Errants and earns 3 Hobby Points for his minimum unit. During the league Billy adds four more Exemplar Errants and the UA, which he also paints. He then receives an additional 1 Hobby Point. Example: The Witch Coven is worth 5 Hobby Points when fully painted: 1 point each for the three small-based Witches and 2 points for the medium-based Egregore. The dragoon Fenris is worth 4 Hobby Points when fully painted: 3 for the large-based model and 1 for the small-based model. Tiebreakers If these tiebreaker conditions still result in a tie, the winner of the last game played between the tied players wins the League Schedule A player may paint as many models during a league as he likes. Only models painted in the faction a player originally For instance: John plays Mike and scores 3 points for winning. Until John plays another player at least once, he cannot gain any more points for playing Mike again. If John only played Mike and Dave during the course of the league, but alternated between the two, all of his matches would count for points. Weeks 1 through 5 require that a player use the contents of his battlegroup box set when constructing an army list. At week 4, a player is allowed to swap out the warcaster or warlock in his battlegroup box set for another warcaster or warlock within the same faction. This player’s games for weeks 4 and 5 must use the new warcaster/warlock or the original warcaster/warlock. For week 6 there are no restrictions, and a player may switch his caster from game to game all week long. Games played during the league will follow this schedule: It is strongly recommended that new players who wish to begin learning WARMACHINE and HORDES with A player who wishes to play Mercenaries or Minions during the league must play the same contract or pact throughout the entire league. Protectorate of Menoth (Two-Player Battle Box Alternative) Retribution of Scyrah Mercenaries (Four Star Syndicate Option 1) Mercenaries (Four Star Syndicate Option 2, Searforge Commission, Highborn Covenant Option 1) Mercenaries (Four Star Syndicate Option 3, Highborn Covenant Option 2, Talion Charter) Minions (Thornfall Alliance) Minions (Blindwater Congregation)
Alternatively, if you wish to bring a faction build not on the list, you can bring a battlegroup that is equivalent to 11 points or less.
Painting Requirements For a model to count for hobby points it must be primed, basecoated, and painted with a reasonable diversity of color. Individual elements of the miniature must be distinguishable by color or shading. For instance, flesh must be a different color than hair or clothing; metal should be a different color than leather. Privateer Press Modeling & Painting Policy All models used in Privateer Press organized play events must be Privateer Press miniatures from the WARMACHINE or HORDES lines. The miniatures must be fully assembled on the appropriately sized bases for which they were designed. Non–Privateer Press models, unassembled miniatures, and inappropriately based models are not permitted. Privateer Press encourages players to have a fully painted force on the table. Games with painted armies are more Playing with a uniquely individualized and painted force is one of the most rewarding aspects of the hobby. Just as with information disclosure and sportsmanship, players are expected to be unambiguous about model representation. The following rules must be adhered to when using converted models in organized play. These rules are meant not to limit a player’s modeling options but rather to allow creativity without generating an environment that could become confusing during game play. At his discretion, an event organizer can make exceptions to these rules to approve any reasonable A converted model must contain a majority of parts from the WARMACHINE or HORDES model for which the rules On warrior models, converting and swapping weapons is acceptable provided the new weapon is the same type as the weapon replaced (for example, swapping one sword for another). Anything relating to a weapon’s specific rules must be maintained to avoid confusion. Example: A weapon with Chain Weapon must still be modeled as a chain-style weapon, and a weapon’s length must be considered when converting weapons with Reach. Weapons on warjack and warbeast models cannot be swapped. Because many ’jacks and beasts utilize the same chassis or torso, the weapons are the most identifiable part of the model from across the table. Converting warjacks and warbeasts is still encouraged, but the aesthetics of the weapons must be maintained. Modifying weapons is also permitted, as long as the end result is easily identifiable as the intended warjack’s or warbeast’s proper weapon. Basing 6:00 pm Friday Night Magic
Entry Fee: $8 Format: Standard Event will have five rounds followed by a cut to the Top 8. Two wins guarantees you a MINIMUM of one booster pack. Each player will also count as two packs toward the total prize pool. So, with 20 players in attendance, the Top 8 will basically be splitting 32 packs worth of product. Obviously, this number increases with a higher number of players. Your entry fee covers your entry for *BOTH* FNM events. The second event will only award prizes to the Top 3 finishers. This makes your money go a long way on FNM nights. If you choose to show up and play ONLY the second event, there is a $4 entry fee. And on top of that, we will have players designated as “bounties” each night. If you beat those players in one GAME of the match you will have $1 store credit for the night. If you happen to beat one of the “bounties” in two games (and therefore win the match), you will get an additional booster pack! And this pack is a pack that gets added to the prize pool. It doesn’t come from the existing pool! **bounty awards will not apply for bounty vs. bounty matches***

Entry fee is $3. Players bring whatever decks they want to bring. Every player will get at least a promo card just for participating. Any card that appears on any type of banned list is not allowed for Casual Night. |
5:30 pm Dungeons & Dragons Lair Assault
Entry Fee: Free If you think you have what it takes to brave the fiercest foes, fight the toughest battles, and conquer the vilest enemies, we have the Dungeons & Dragonsplay experience for you! Gather your master tacticians and rules experts together to kick down the dungeon doors and begin the assault! D&D Lair Assault is a new Wizards Play Network in-store program that pits tactically-minded players against a super challenge where the difference between victory and defeat is dependent upon your game knowledge, ability to adapt, and a little bit of luck. You’ll pit your wits against some of the most difficult encounters you’ve ever played. Each challenge is a mega-encounter that plays in just a few hours, but many will need to make more than one run at it in pursuit of victory. D&D Lair Assault challenges are available for a few months, and stores can schedule their sessions at any time during that period. D&D Lair Assault has been designed for a quality, fun, super-challenging play experience that really encourages repeat play. We’ve designed the kits to accommodate as many players as possible by keeping the focus on the play experience, accomplishments, and bragging rights. Rather than making the challenge all about obtaining a physical “prize,” it’s about having a great time playing a fun D&D game available nowhere else.
D&D Fortune Cards will be legal for use!
Gearing Up for DangerEach D&D Lair Assault challenge will specify a level. The second D&D Lair Assault, Talon of Umberlee, is 8th level. Players bring characters of the challenge’s level to your scheduled event to participate. Characters higher or lower level than the challenge’s level are not allowed. We use straightforward rules to equip characters for their deadly battles. Each character receives one magic item of one level higher than their level (level + 1), one of their level (level + 0), and one of one level lower than their level (level – 1). In addition, characters receive gold pieces equal to the value of one magic item of one level lower than their level (level – 1) to buy other equipment they think they’ll need. Each character may have no more than two consumable items (like potions or magic ammunition) equal to or less than the challenge’s level, and no more than one rare magic item. Note that players may equip their characters with magic items that are less than the stated levels if they so choose. So, to use our 8th level example above, each character would have one 9th level, one 8th level and one 7th level magic item, plus 2,600 gold pieces to spend on other equipment (both mundane and magical). 8:00 pm Game Closet Poker Night
For legal reasons, this game *IS NOT* open to the public. This game is open only to Game Closet regular customers and long term friends of the store. If you do not fit these criteria, you will be turned away at the door. Again, this is a private game.
Players can buy up to a maximum buy-in of $10. Minimum buy-in is $5. We will use nickel, dime, and quarter chips. Players can rebuy as often as they like, but no one will be able to buy more than $20 total for the evening. This limits the amount of losses for everyone and keeps the game at a friendly level. The standard game will be Texas Hold’em unless an entire table of folks agrees to a different game. |

You’ll pit your wits against some of the most difficult encounters you’ve ever played. Each challenge is a mega-encounter that plays in just a few hours, but many will need to make more than one run at it in pursuit of victory. D&D Lair Assault challenges are available for a few months, and stores can schedule their sessions at any time during that period. D&D Lair Assault has been designed for a quality, fun, super-challenging play experience that really encourages repeat play. We’ve designed the kits to accommodate as many players as possible by keeping the focus on the play experience, accomplishments, and bragging rights. Rather than making the challenge all about obtaining a physical “prize,” it’s about having a great time playing a fun D&D game available nowhere else.
D&D Fortune Cards will be legal for use!
Gearing Up for DangerEach D&D Lair Assault challenge will specify a level. The second D&D Lair Assault, Talon of Umberlee, is 8th level. Players bring characters of the challenge’s level to your scheduled event to participate. Characters higher or lower level than the challenge’s level are not allowed. We use straightforward rules to equip characters for their deadly battles. Each character receives one magic item of one level higher than their level (level + 1), one of their level (level + 0), and one of one level lower than their level (level – 1). In addition, characters receive gold pieces equal to the value of one magic item of one level lower than their level (level – 1) to buy other equipment they think they’ll need. Each character may have no more than two consumable items (like potions or magic ammunition) equal to or less than the challenge’s level, and no more than one rare magic item. Note that players may equip their characters with magic items that are less than the stated levels if they so choose. So, to use our 8th level example above, each character would have one 9th level, one 8th level and one 7th level magic item, plus 2,600 gold pieces to spend on other equipment (both mundane and magical). 8:00 pm Game Closet Poker Night
For legal reasons, this game *IS NOT* open to the public. This game is open only to Game Closet regular customers and long term friends of the store. If you do not fit these criteria, you will be turned away at the door. Again, this is a private game.
Players can buy up to a maximum buy-in of $10. Minimum buy-in is $5. We will use nickel, dime, and quarter chips. Players can rebuy as often as they like, but no one will be able to buy more than $20 total for the evening. This limits the amount of losses for everyone and keeps the game at a friendly level. The standard game will be Texas Hold’em unless an entire table of folks agrees to a different game. |

6:00 pm Warmachine/Hordes Journeyman League Wrap-Up
We’ll be collecting all the scoresheets and awarding prizes. We’ll have patched for various criteria as well as a couple of door prizes and new player prizes. This will probably take about 30 minutes so that everyone can be out by 6.30 and have a Friday night off. The next league will start the following week.
6:00 pm Friday Night Magic
Entry Fee: $8 Format: Standard Event will have five rounds followed by a cut to the Top 8. Two wins guarantees you a MINIMUM of one booster pack. Each player will also count as two packs toward the total prize pool. So, with 20 players in attendance, the Top 8 will basically be splitting 32 packs worth of product. Obviously, this number increases with a higher number of players. Your entry fee covers your entry for *BOTH* FNM events. The second event will only award prizes to the Top 3 finishers. This makes your money go a long way on FNM nights. If you choose to show up and play ONLY the second event, there is a $4 entry fee. And on top of that, we will have players designated as “bounties” each night. If you beat those players in one GAME of the match you will have $1 store credit for the night. If you happen to beat one of the “bounties” in two games (and therefore win the match), you will get an additional booster pack! And this pack is a pack that gets added to the prize pool. It doesn’t come from the existing pool! **bounty awards will not apply for bounty vs. bounty matches***
