Darkmoon Faire Boston

The Darkmoon Faire Logo

So some of my friends convinced me to do Darkmoon Faire this year in Boston.  I like the World of Warcraft TCG and Miniatures games, so I figured why not?

The participation prizes for the TCG and Minis games are pretty good too.  You get an Extended Art (EA) card and playmat for participating in the TCG entry tournaments, and an exclusive Mini for the miniatures tournament.  And hey, I might qualify!  The top 8 in the finals get a spectral tiger mount loot card, worth about $1000.  Winning this tournament gets you much better prizes.  Your choice: a kick ass computer, trip to any other DMF in the world, or a home theater system.

Look here and twitter I guess for updates as my experience at DMF Boston progresses.  This is going to be my first real competitive tournament for a game, so it'll be new and adventurous at least.

Update: I forgot to update this post with how I did.  I ended up just participating in minis and not the TCG.  In the four qualifier tournaments, I went 0 and 2 the first two rounds and dropped out.  There were a few times where my inexperience caused mistakes that won't happen next time.  Two of the qualifiers were sealed and I made some bad selections for my teams.  On the last day, I participated in the loser tournament for the minis.  My record there was 2 and 3, so I at least went home with some wins under my belt.

I was most successful in the carnival games.  Donating money to charity with each attempt, I managed to win playmats and Extended Art cards for my two friends and I.  They both performed much better in the actual tournaments than I did.
