Keeping on the gaming

 

After seeing the enthusiasm generated by the last tournament I’ve been thinking about sponsoring another one this year, mostly to incentivize the new players, and since I found the original prize for the last tournament plus some few other things I want to hear if you would like it , if yes what ideas would you do like to add to have a new and improved tournament.

Here are my ideas so far

this round maybe for a nominal fee so we can purchase some things from pactare to include as prizes.

I would like to use stratagems and spearhead rules, what do you think?

we can have one tournament with prizes for 1st, 2nd and 3rd place or 2 tournament with prize for the first prize in each.

 

in the event of 2 tournaments we can go for a lower nominal fee in each or a higher one for a better prize in the second round.

 

those are my current musings, what would you put on the table.

Musings for the new tournament rules

Here I will start to compile new rules for the tournament, the ideas are general  but It will lead me to the final rules that will integrate into a campaign for the supremacy on pl3-40:

First the obvious, I want to create a map to  keep track of all the gains

as we increment the points value the result of the battles will give you benefits or eliminate disadvantages.

I will use some stratagems like terrain features that will be revealed after deployment that will grant a boom or a blast and you wont know until is too late.

in brief I want to have a rich colored campaign that goes along the tournaments. so lets see how it goes.

A vision made reality.

A few months ago I dreamed of a system where a campaign could be played. back then I mentioned a new undiscovered planet near the tau space, now after following the excellent tutorial on planet creation on gimp that you can find at: http://mygimptutorial.com/the-ultimate-gimp-planet-tutorial
Back story:
The system PL3-40 was hidden in or near a recently closed warp storm that was close to what now is know as the Tau empire space.  But it was not unknown to the empire because In the sector a few millennia ago  two empire fleets where dispatched and after a few confusing reports were never heard off again. Since further expeditions only encountered a raging war storm that blockaded travel to the system it was left to linger and be forgotten.
Forgotten but not unrecorded because now that a rogue trader by the name of rifeju wejo  found the system and detected some possible valuables there in the main planet the Administratum has decreed that the system must be reclaimed in the name of the empire.
Already some space marines have send units there to help enforce the decree, but they might be too late because the imperial Tarot has prophesized that a space hulk will appear near the same moment the mightiest of humanity will arrive to secure the planet. And being too close the tau empire it will definitely do something about the system.
what will be of the system, only time will tell.
