Reece, have you decided whether or not there will be rules adjustments (other than "No Escalation/Stronghold Assualt" and allies changes) for the Main 40K event? My local shop is making their monthly tournament an "LVO Prep Event", so I'd like to help them be sure their rules match what's going to be run.

I couldn't find this information on the FLG site yet, and the threads here, as last updated, say it's still an up-in-the-air thing. I'm mainly wondering about possible 2++ changes and other things discussed in your poll.

Thanks!

That's super cool your local is doing an LVO prep! Nice one, if you have any pics of the event and want to do a quick write up, send them my way and we will post them on FLG.

As for your rules questions, per our poll, we have the following addendum to our format (which you can see the changes reflected in the 40K packet rules and FAQ):

1.) We're not using Stronghold, Escalation or Data Slates for LVO (but we're open to changing that for future events)
2.) We're limting the amount of factions in a list to 2 (so, White Scars+ Ultramarines, or Tau+Eldar, or Inquisition+Space Wolves, but no Imperial Guard+Space Wolves+Inquisition for example).
3.) We did get a majority vote for and implemented the change of any type of 2+ save that is rerollable, is failed on the reroll of a 1, 2 or 3, not just a 1.

If you have any further questions, just ask.

Cheap flights to Vegas on Allegiant air right now! I have seen round trip flights on this site for under $100!

Look at smaller airports, too, not just the bigger ones.

Hey Reecius, is there anymore spots still open for the 40k Singles Championships?

Yes, there is, sir!

Tickets have been selling fast lately but we still have a good amount of room left. I highly recommend grabbing your ticket sooner than later, though.

Got my ticket last week, looking forward to my first trip to vegas.

Booked my hotel. Sweet rate.

Jea, I took it up with the fam and they seem on board with me going as long as they got stuff to do which it seems that by the social events you've planned seems they would. So yea I'll be looking into getting a ticket soon

@Thanatos & TheJugHead

See you there!

@Dezstiny

We for 100% are going to be friendly for non-gaming people coming with you! Our goals is for everyone to have fun and want to keep coming back!

Hey Reecius... my sister and fiancée is coming with us.

What's the policy for "visitors" to see what's the fuss is all about with these tournys? During a downtime, or before the day is kicked off, I'd like to give the ladies a tour.

@Whembly

You have to have a Con Badge to get into the venue. We will have people at the door to enforce that, too, FYI. We need to be able to control who comes in and out as I am sure you can imagine, Vegas can get a little chaotic without methods of control in place =)

Plus side, the con badge is only $15 and it means you get to be involved with all of the social events, too!

Thanks... I can definitely swing the $15 for con badges... can we buy 'em onsite?

So who wants to be gutsy with me and stay on the haunted floors of the hotel :-)

@Whembly

Yes, sir! We'd prefer it to be bought ahead of time for record keeping but we will sell them on site.

@Hot-sizzle

The haunted floor? I'm gong to change your name to Johnny Dangerously!

Haunted floor? Which is that?

I don't know, but if I don;t see some spooky ghosts, I'm gong to be very disappointed! haha

Me too. When I go to check in, I'm going to request it.

History lesson Time. in the 80s Ballys was the MGM grand, due to poor fire regulations a fire started and those on the top floors could not leave, killing them. The land was torn down and Ballys was built. Supposedly there are ghost on the 18+ floors, you can see them fade in and out of walls, hear moaning from rooms, and apprently electrical stuff.

Ya... It's Vegas, so the moaning from rooms really isn't all that uncommon...

How do you explain the people running through the hall with their dresses on fire?

@Hot Sizzle

Moaning and dresses on fire are all pretty much par for the course in Vegas.

I had a naked dude accidentally come in to my Girlfriend and my room one time at the Flamingo, singing about how much he loved Pizza! Haha, gotta be ready for any kind of craziness!

That isn't normal of course, but it made for a really funny story afterwords!
