I know we have spoken of this in the past, but I am 110% willing to help out on this. I know stores and tournament organizers in VA, MD, and PA that would all be interested.

I don’t know the numbers of other regions for comparison, but DC has a large following. There were probably roughly a dozen or so well attended store championships earlier this winter. So I think if you include DC in with Baltimore/Philadelphia, that could be a region by itself (and help people from Richmond/the periphery play). Since we’re talking hypotheticals, maybe one hosted in Baltimore, and another somewhere equidistant between New York/Boston?

Maybe that makes the most sense; PA/NJ/MD/DC and NY/New England

I’m so there. Another idea, though it may be a bit creepy. Anyone up for offering their pad as a “Netrunner Hostel” for 2-day events? I certainly could for a Cleveland tourney as long as I talked with anyone wanting to stay beforehand. The travel costs can be a bit much on gamer’s budget, and it might improve attendance at events.

@spags What needs to be done to figure out between Wausau and Madison? I’m voting for Madison

Yes this is likely perfect.

We could take WV and pitts too, potentially, though they’re somewhat straddled with the midwest over there. Call it the Mid-Atlantic and the New England circuits?

Sounds solid. I know a guy in WV that may be interested, although attendance is likely more of an issue there. Less players overall.

You realize, of course, that the only reasonable choice for a GLC alt art card is Green Level Clearance?

Toxic green is pretty much the color of the Great Lakes, at least here in C-town

Nice. You got the nod.
I was going to stick with IDs, primarily, as non-FFG, non-IDs are illegal for any sanctioned tournies.
If you guys can organize two, go with God. I’ve got enough shite to deal with here.

I’m all about people housing other players. Nothing builds community like having someone drool all over your pillows.

I would say that depends entirely on the sanctioning body, wouldn’t you?
As a sort-of aside, I’ve been running a lucky ONR TRAP! in place of my Snare! in Argus in every official tournament for months now and nobody’s said a negative thing about it. I mean, I keep a real one on standby just in case, but still. I’ve also seen a pretty good number of printed-up proxy SanSans and Desperados.

And I use the Action Jacksons from the ChiLo Grudge match. Those are awesome.

Hey, in the ANRPC world, these are all legal. However, if I find you have an illegal deck, you lose a hand.

Before I turn into Stannis Baratheon, I want to dissuade proxies, generally, as I want people to buy the cards. I know that it’s cheap enough that people will, but, don’t want FFG getting mad.
I actually think that’s a pretty good policy, even if a 3rd core set is a tough sell. I can’t imagine most people would have an issue with it if they’re trying to compete at this level anyway. Plus, they put most of the one-offs in the various draft sets. Maybe someday I’ll get that third Data Dealer!
That said, you can have my old-school TRAP! when you pry it from my still warm and freshly-severed hand! Or at least Archives Interface it out of the game.

Most great ideas, and a few terrible ones, originate in a hot tub.
