Vampire: The Masquerade Rivals At GenCon 2021!
Greetings Vamily! We are excited to see many of you at GenCon this year, for our first-ever Prince of the City tournament! The purpose of this article is to share all the information on the various events and prizes that will be available at the convention.
The Prince of the City Indianapolis Main Event - Friday September 17 - Saturday September 18 (10AM)
A 4-player multiplayer event to determine the Prince of Indianapolis! 4 preliminary rounds Friday, followed by a top cut Saturday. All participants will receive 4 plastic, spot-gloss Agendas from the Rivals core set, 2 packs of Prince of the City card sleeves, and 1 paper alternate art or promo for each round played.
Earn a spot in Day 2 and in addition to your participation prizes you’ll receive a set of 4 plastic, spot-gloss havens to match your agendas, as well as additional paper promos. The 16 players that qualify for the semi-final will win a Prince of the CIty Indianapolis playmat and a set of eight acrylic Clan Leader Tokens, one for each clan currently available in the game!
The winner of each semi-final game will make the final table, and be awarded a sheet of uncut cards from a recent Rival's product! They’ll play one more game to determine ultimate control of the city. The champion takes home a Prince of the CIty Champion playmat, and the ultimate prize, the chance to appear in a future Vampire: The Masquerade Rivals product or promo! We’ll work with the winner to put their likeness into the game as a playable character! Their character could appear in a future expansion, or as a promo card in future Organized Play kits. The other 3 players at the final table will each receive a prestigious runner-up playmat.
