We've recently finished putting the Information Pack together for our latest A Gathering of Might tournament, held at the Shakespeare Centre, Kendal on the 21st and 22nd of May. This year (2016), in case you were wondering.
You may have noticed a previous document on the AGOM website for AGOMXVI - this version will now be retired, and the new, sleeker (it's actually longer, so we probably can't refer to it as sleek...), shinier, and above all clearer AGOM XVI Information Pack will take its place.
Assuming I put everything that's needed in it and don't get told to change it again...
In general, the basic structure is the same, and provides details on the form of the tournament, what you'll need to bring, details on how to select your army using our AGOM Points Cost system (more on that in a later post), tournament rules and clarifications, rules for playing in a number of the Mortal Realms, and a bunch of your favourite AGOM scenarios to play.
Oh, and details on the awards that you can win!
We've also uploaded a "printer friendly" version, which has the backgrounds removed so you don't have to spill all of your opponents blood....I mean printer ink. You can keep the blood for later :-p
You'll need to bring a copy of the Information Pack, as well as the relevant AGOM Points Cost documents, with you to the tournament - we're not intending to print this out as most people seem to use their tablets or iPads for reading documents these days. This has meant that we've been able to extend the length of the Information Pack. This has given us a number of advantages - not only could we play with the layout and add some flavour text to improve the presentation, we've been able to clarify a great number of statements throughout the pack. We hope that this makes the tournament more accessible to newcomers (not that it wasn't before, but every little bit helps), as we always want to get new people into gaming, and we fully believe that AGOM is one of the friendliest and most enjoyable events on the tournament scene.
Please have a look - and obviously feel free to contact us with any questions or comments that you may have.
And now I might be able to get some painting done...
