Our tradition continues online as players compete for the prize of the Marshall Badge via OCTGN and Tabletop Simulator. Participants will receive promotional cards.
As both the Marshal (Gen Con) and Marshall (UK Games Expo) Badges this year were initially intended for live events, Pine Box Entertainment is adapting to allow players to still compete for this event and effect the Doomtown storyline. Players will participate via OCTGN. Once registration is completed we will send further instructions and rules on participating in this event with Doomtown players from around the world. The game is an expandable card game set in the Deadlands™ universe. It’s a fast-paced game of gun slingin’, spell slingin’ and mud-slingin’! Use poker hands and card pulls for everything from gunfights to summoning abominations.
Players will be contacted for round 1 pairings. Players must be familiar with how to play Doomtown on OCTGN.
Entry Fee: $2. Sign ups are through GenCon Online
ADDITIONAL NOTE: If you and your opponent agree, the game may be played on an alternate platform such as TTS.

Doomtown Greenhorn Online Edition
Our Greenhorn tradition continues onlineas new players learn how to adapt to the virtual version of the beloved Weird West card game.
Volunteers with Pine Box Entertainment are on hand to teach existing players how to play on OCTGN! This requires knowledge of the game and the willingness to learn how to play the game on OCTGN. This is an expandable card game set in the Deadlands™ universe. It’s a fast-paced game of gun slingin’, spell slingin’ and mud-slingin’! Use poker hands and card pulls for everything from gunfights to summoning abominations.
Players will be contacted to be paired with a member of the Pine Box team to learn how to play the online version of Doomtown. You must be familiar in how to play the tabletop version.
I see there’s only 8 tickets for the greenhorn event, so I cancelled my ticket for that so I don’t fill it up. I’ll just be there for the volunteer/help out part anyway.
After adding to wish list, then processing the wish list, ticket for the badge event seems to have worked.
To be clear, the GenCon event will run over several weeks as players have the opportunity to meet with their opponent and report their games, following the same format as the Name A Card event.
*Matches will be timed at 2 hours by default (to make up for extra technology-laden slowness, especially to be more friendly to folks who are new to OCTGN/TTS). But if the 2 players agree, they can make any time limit they wish, or none at all.
*If 2 players cannot find a time that meets their schedule, we’ll do our best to work with them. If we have to delay the next round a little, that’s probably ok as long as there is some hope for a match in a reasonable time, but we’ll take it as it comes.
*However, if one player either does not respond at all, or consistently has zero availability, they will be marked as a loss.
*If both players do not respond or report in for the whole week they will be dropped from the event.
*Default game mode is OCTGN; players must agree if using an alternative method, such as TTS, to play.
The Marshal round-up is underway and will conclude in the weeks to follow. We will update this thread periodically to keep everyone informed. The new Marshal will work with Design Team on creating a new card, per the GenCon tradition.
