We had 7 brave souls show up for our Epitaph event in Edinburgh, with a nice split of factions (all but Eagle Wardens were represented). We decided to make a day of it and play a round robin, cut slightly short by the demands of some players wanting to get their trains home. So inconsiderate (not really).
The final standings-
Glorious first place - Robert’s Law Dogs (@Harlath)
Dreamcrushed by strength of schedule second place - Steve’s 108 Righteous Bandits (@forkbanger)
Hex-nerfed into third place - Mark’s Fourth Ring (@Ijiasu)
Abandoning the Protection Racket for fourth place - Steph’s Sloane Gang (@Sauronsbeagle)
Cheating to win fifth place - Dave’s Den of Thieves (@Neramoor)
Hydro-punching the air in sixth place - Chris’s Morgan Regulators
Strongest man in the west, supporting everyone upon his mighty shoulders in seventh place Chris’s Oddities of Nature.
Thanks for all coming along and tolerating kung fu, everyone.
Is the above a great tournament summary or the greatest tournament summary?
Well done running a fun event in a good venue Steve.
Also, thumbs up to Pinebox for the excellent promo choices for this tournament. I always knew Dave Gorman’s misprint irritated me, but didn’t realise just how much until I saw the corrected version with his fully studly bullet. The Ivor Hawley art is also an excellent Capstone to the end of the Plague story arc, as I don’t think we had an action shot capturing the final confrontation. Plus the piece striking in its own right.
I got a little lucky here as @forkbanger’s deck lost a train curtailed final round match - if he’d won this he would have deservedly carried the day.
You’d be very welcome for any Winter series. I can put two people up in our spare bedroom if needed, the Danes would be worthy successors to an illustrious line of other Doomtown players that have occupied it.
There are two singles but you can push them together if you like or try to squeeze your whole gang in to them. I can negotiate with my wife about the couch in the living room…
@forkbanger the Red Diamond cards are a vital part of my draw structure but don’t have any bullets, putting them in to play seems like a bad idea. I foolishly played some against you and all it did was cost me money and give you control points. Never again!
These are worthy suggestions and would be among my favourite Red Diamonds. I have a slight preference for the California Tax Office. However I think this is a trick question. My favourite “deed” is Desolation Row.
This was an unusual tournament for me, I actually built a town in most of my games. I’m going soft.
Yeah - shaking down your own Gomorra Lot Commission over and over again gets old fast. And anyway, I couldn’t resist the opportunity to play with the proper Dave ‘Slim’ Gorman as soon as I could.
