Epitaph Series Week 3: We're going to Tombstone!

[Lapp]

I hope everyone that attended the beginning of the Epitaph Texas League and Epitaph Events last weekend had fun celebrating the continuation of Doomtown: Reloaded! While we’re still waiting on some data to come in for these events, here’s some announcements:

-Robert Campbell, our new UK Marshall, has made his story choice regarding the 2017 European Championship! Tombstone. While we’ll discuss more on Tombstone and the city’s role in the Weird West and greater Deadlands universe, as a reminder, the faction most represented during the Epitaph Series will be the one we first follow into this new city. We plan on commemorating this in the art reflected in an upcoming alternate art promo.

-Tales From the Epitaph Kickstarter: Mark your calendars folks, July 18th is the date!

-Upcoming Epitaph Events for this week. Remember the faction you represent in your League or Event is the one contributing towards the total count for story representation. Remember to check in with your TO regarding if this is a one day event or League setup.

Updated with Exeter event

Hooray, pleased to have this confirmed publicly!

All aboard the Tombstone/Death express.

[Neramoor]

Are we likely to get a midseason faction breakdown so we know who might be leading us into the valley of death?

If certain factions are doing well/badly it may change peoples deck choices.

Indeed, as results come in they will be posted!

Great. I think think this makes a fine story prize: everyone can take part but it doesn’t outrageously tie the story team’s hands, simply dictating how the introduction of Tombstone is framed.

It means you’re contributing something to a particular faction just by turning up.

Numbers in a gun fight, just ask Steven Wiles (RIP): “The more people you have shooting, the more chance of someone getting hit”.

Time to see what weird and wonderful things I can do with the Fourth Ring for the Epitaphs!

[Harlath]

Appropriately, I found a spare copy of a classic film in my cupboards today. It is still in its wrapper, so I will try to remember to bring it to the Edinburgh or Newcastle Epitaph event and add it to the prize pool!

As a postscript I have retired my Morgan Hex Regulator deck for the Epitaph events, but not in triumph! @Ijiasu thrashed it 3-0 at the weekend which is encouraging from a balance point of view but a devastating blow to my personal pride.
