Make Your Mark
FFG World Champions Forge Their Legends in Their Favorite Games
After a record-setting 2013 Regional Championship season and the best-attended Gen Con Indy that FFG Organized Play has ever witnessed, we are looking forward to a monumentally good time at the FFG World Championship Weekend this November 7th – 11th at the brand new Fantasy Flight Games Center!
This year, our event schedule is so full that we’ve decided to get the festivities started on a Thursday in order to make room for all of our World Championship tournaments and side events. Now, the pinnacle of FFG Organized Play is a fully loaded, four-day celebration of great games!
Moreover, the FFG World Championship Weekend is your chance to compete for the title of World Champion and the coolest prize in gaming: the opportunity to make your mark upon the game you love!
Forge Your Own Legend
This year, the FFG World Championship Weekend is host to the World Championship tournaments for six of our brightest games:
- A Game of Thrones: The Card Game
- Android: Netrunner The Card Game
- Call of Cthulhu: The Card Game
- Star Wars™: The Card Game
- Warhammer: Invasion The Card Game
- X-Wing™
In our last preview, we looked at some of the exclusive prizes at stake during these events, including custom messenger bags awarded to the top players in each of our tournaments and the original, one-of-a-kind playmats awarded to each of our LCG® champions.
Still, each World Champion wins another prize, one that’s less material, but certainly no less interesting. Indeed, this final prize is arguably the coolest prize in gaming: the right to work with the game’s developers to create a card to add to the game you love!
Fans of our older LCGs are well aware of this prize.
- A Game of Thrones champions have long contributed to the development of some of the game’s most well beloved cards, including The First Snow of Winter (On Dangerous Grounds, 59), The Blackfish (Lords of Winter, 22), and Knights of the Hollow Hill (Mountains of the Moon, 59).
- Likewise, Call of Cthulhu champions have contributed Mentor to Vaughn (Kingsport Dreams, 35), Descendant of Eibon (The Terror of the Tides, 75), and The Mage’s Machinations (Terror in Venice, 30).
- Two-time Warhammer: Invasion World Champion Timothy Lyons has made his mark through the creation of Mannfred Von Carstein (The Inevitable City, 18) and Reprimand (Cataclysm, 31), and 2012 World Champion Jeremy Zwirn will soon make his own impact upon the game with the upcoming of Hidden Kingdoms and his champion card, which will be featured in an upcoming Warhammer: Invasion preview!
Now, as FFG Organized Play continues to grow, we’re happy to expand this fantastic opportunity, and our Android: Netrunner, Star Wars: The Card Game, and X-Wing champions will also be able to enrich their favorite games.
Will you design a truly innovative piece of ice? Will you find a clever new way to win lightsaber duels? Will you build an upgrade for the Millennium Falcon™ or some other starship? If you can win one of FFG World Championships, you can forge your own legend within the game by contributing to the design of a card that players will continue to use for years to come!
The FFG World Championship Weekend is a four-day celebration of great games, it’s a weekend full of fantastic competition, it’s your chance to make a mark on your favorite game, and it’s racing toward us!
