Pine Box @Gen Con: Aug 2-6, 2023 Featured Convention

Pine Box Players,

Gen Con is our ‘home away from home’ convention and as always, we have a full lineup of events this year.

This schedule will be updated with more socials as they are announced.

We will also update the schedule with any faction themed dinners or other socials as they are announced. Please note there are no ‘locked’ promotional cards for specific socials. For instance, the Yevgeni ‘Is a Boar’ promo will be for anyone attending 7th Sea socials so there is no ‘one way’ to get the promotional card for those unable to attend specific venues.

O’s Call Out Deets

Callout event – Carnage in the Cornfields
Saturday, August 5 , 6pm – 10pm
Hilton Garden Inn: 10 E Market St., Indianapolis, IN. 46204
The Doomtown celebration continues featuring open play with a twist. Challenge the fastest guns and trickiest spells in a casual format.

August, 1882 – Gomorra. Tombstone. Deadwood. Towns born from gunfire and baptized in blood. I tamed them all. Now I come to Indianapolis. What used to be the West is now the Midwest, the heartland that feeds a growing nation. What is grown in peace, can be taken by force. Like my fallen brother in arms, Steven Wiles, I have come to bring the worst outlaws to justice. Many dare to fight me. None will ever know me. For I am El Anónimo.

You, Pardner, find yourself embroiled in this escalating conflict. Thieves take the money and run. Bounty hunters cash in. Can you survive the carnage in the cornfields?


STARTING BOUNTY: Each player enters Indianapolis with the highest of the following bounties:
Doomtown Designer – 5 Bounty
PBE co-owner – 4 Bounty
Marshal event winner – 3 Bounty
PBE PT or team member – 2 Bounty
Drifter – 1 Bounty
Bonuses to starting bounty (cumulative):
Your deck is:
• Bicycle (52 different cards e.g. a standard poker deck) (+3)
• Void of at least one suit (e.g. Club-less or Heart-less) (+3)
• Highlander (only 1 of each card) (+2)
• Double Barrel (no more than 2 of each card) (+1)
• Attend this event in Weird West-themed Cosplay: (+1)
FORMAT: Weird West –cards issued by PBE or consistent w PBE MSRP/Errata are legal for this event.
(Players must use the same deck throughout the event.)
This is a ‘come and go’ event – dudes can drift into the cornfields or leave at any time. Find someone who isn’t
involved in a game and Call ‘em out! They can’t refuse! Have at it and play a game of Doomtown!

The ‘nuts n bolts’
After a match, the winning player divides the other player’s pre-match bounty into theirs (Losing player gains 0 bounty), e.g. Loser/ Winner. Add this to their previous bounty for their new bounty.
Example: Designer (5 bounty) defeats PBE Team Member (2 bounty)
Designer adds 0.4 bounty (2/5) and now has 5.4 bounty
(round to tenths, lost decimals NOT tracked or remembered)
If PBE Team Member won, it would be:
PBE Team Member adds 2.5 bounty (5/2) and now has 4.5 bounty
This encourages ‘level play’ e.g. top players playing each other (and some strategy of the call outs).
Prizes:
• Play a game – El Anónimo alternative artwork promo
• Play 4 games – El Anónimo full bleed alternative artwork promo
• Earn bounty by winning games – select from existing AEG/PBE swag-promos, tins, playmats, etc.
