A lot of content is still being moved here from the old site, patience.

• The “postrelease” tournament for the Twilight Rebellion expansion will be held on May 31st (see below).

• This year's Ropecon tourmament (on Augist 8th) will also be the national qualifier for the EC. More info on this later on in the year.

• Tournament report for Temptation of Greater Power I is now available.

• The 2008 Tournament Rules are out. The biggest changes are the banning of Edge Explosion, Memories of Mortality and Protect Thine Own, and the change to the final round scoring (in which the winner gets 1st place, all others get shared 2nd place).

The latest VTES set, Twilight Rebellion, will be released for sale on May 28th. As traditional, we'll be running a tournament with the new set, this time it's a “postrelease” held the following Saturday (May 31st). This set is booster-only and centers on the Anarch faction, so we decided to combo the new cards with the Anarchs set cards for deckbuilding.

Time: Saturday May 31st, starting at 11:00
Place: Fantasiapelit Helsinki
Entry fee: 20e (this gets you 5 TR boosters + 5 Anarchs boosters, plus adv Nergal promo)

Note the early start time. Though this may cause some dismay for the more morning-sleepy amongst us, it's because we need plenty of time to draft the new cards and build decks (no starter decks to use as base, here).

The boosters will be drafted as usual, and then time given to everyone to construct decks. Normal 60-90 tournament deck size limits (yes, this will require that you include lots of non-optimal cards :). Vampire groups are not enforced here, and you may also use the advanced Nergal promo card you get as part of your deck if you're feeling suicidal.

Play begins when everyone is ready, and the intention is to play 3 rounds (with 2-hour max time limit), no finals. The winner gets a (new?) edge token that is included as part of the tournament kit, but since all boosters in the kits will go to players we probably won't have any other prizes. Some small suprises are a possibility, though, we'll see.

The traditional huge Ropecon tournament, this year also the Finnish qualifier for the EC. As usual, 3 x 2h rounds plus final, registration will close at 17:30 and play will start at 18:00. Normal Ropecon entry fee required, no additional charge.

More info later on in the year.
