Subject: [Rage] Origins Results


Greetings Brothers and Sisters,

Sorry to keep you in suspense, but I was waiting for word from Fenris before I
divulged the results.

I will start with the Apocalypse tournament. 

To start on a sour note we had a grand total of four (4) players for
Apocalypse. With that to work with we decided to play two throw down rumbles
and total the points. On a good note (my opinion) we all had Gaia decks. In
order to make it a little more interesting, we played to 25 points rather than
20. Here's how the cookie crumbled: values are listed  Wyrm Kills / Gaia Kills

Player                                Round 1        Round 2        Totals

Dan Kills-with-Numbers    8/0                  12/0              20/0 = 20

Teaches-the-Young           8/5                  15/0              23/5 = 28

Jeremy "Big Stick" S.       0/10                25/7              25/17 = 42

Sees-Through-Lies           4/22                17/7              21/29 = 50

With this result, the statue crafted by Fenris went to Sees. But he already has
one of her works, so he passed it to Big Stick. But he had only played because
we hounded him to and I loaned him a deck, so he passed it to me. But I also
have one of her fine works, so I passed it to Dan. (in all fairness, he
actually made a trip to be there. The rest of us live in majestic Dayton which
is only about an hour from Columbus.) Thus ended Friday Night.

Tribal War had a better turn out, but again due to our Caern. We had 11 players
for this event. One of course being Dan KwN. We also had an old friend of
Dances-in-the-Ruins who we ran into that day. He had never played Rage before,
but was willing to give it a try. So true to form we gave him a deck, taught
him how to play, and threw him to the... well you know. The other 9 players
were all members of SPC. We split into two games of four players and one of
three and played 3 qualifying rounds. We then added totals and the top four
played for final standings. The results :

(Sorry, chart does not convert well from excel~can't expect 2 Microsoft
products to work together can we!)

Stats are listed Wyrm Kills | Non-Wyrm Kills | Other. Although
Sleeps-with-Wolves ended with a higher Total, The Final round was won by Tom
McMillian (I refuse to use that name!) and so he got the option to cull one
kill from his victory pile. His choice was Killian Quicktalker whom he killed
in the first round. He was also awarded a print of a werewolf picture drawn by
Robert A. Kraus which we picked up in the exhibitor hall that afternoon. It can
be viewed at www.rakgraphics.com/rakgallery/darkgall/darkgall01 (it's the one
in the upper left corner). Mr. Kraus did a quick sketch on the mating and
signed it as well. The top four also got to divvy up a massive haul of nice
trinkets (Raven talisman, Griffin sketch, WoD figures provided by Fenris ~ two
WoD Novels provided by Watcher Alpha) many thanks to you both for your help and
generosity.  I will be writing up a better overview for Paw Prints when I have
a little more time and some pictures to include. I will also send them the top
three decks.
 
Final thoughts: I think we were severely hampered by not being listed in the
convention books. Most importantly the Pre-reg book. Thursday night we had
several people stop by and say hi. They said that they played when they could
or at least had the cards, but had not brought any. We need to get into the
Pre-reg books so people can come prepared to play. I hope we can get a larger
gathering at Gen Con. I look forward to seeing as many of you there as can make
it.
