DragonCon 99 and 2000 questions

I was thinking of attending DragonCon this year and wondered what kind of attendance the Vampire games received in 99. I see that they had a Sabbat Sealed event and the Dragons Breath tourney and wondered how many people they got for each. Were there any other side events or games for Vtes? Did any of the dealers sell any Vampire cards/singles or whatever? Mike Buckley

[ quoted text not captured ] Sabbat Sealed (which was a bring-your-own affair in 1999) attracted 24 players. The Dragons Breath tourney (a regular constructed-deck tournament) attracted 19 players. There were no other "official" or scheduled V:TES events in 1999, but, of course, there were many pick-up games. -- LSJ (vte...@wizards.com) V:TES Net.Rep for Wizards of the Coast.

Dragon Con rocked!! Players came from all over the place. It is a good place to meet some of the people who actually post on this group Sent via Deja.com http://www.deja.com/ Before you buy.

After that, most everyone had ferreted out the deals, and all that was left was packs at full retail (yes, even Sabbat, which was there on day 4). From what people I know are saying, this year will be larger (extra 3-5 people from Charlotte, extra 2 people from Boston, possibly)... Hope to see you there Regards, R.

The Austin group will likely make a showing, I just don't know how many people can commit to the trip. I'm planning on going.

I will try to make it there then. It will be tough since I am also going to Origins two weeks after that and the wife will be none too happy with me being gone 8 days in a months time. I might actually split a table with a friend and let him watch my stuff while I play.

Wow... that's a lot of "V:TES Luminaries" going to DragonCon! This could be worth the trip! Where and when is it this year? Atlanta? Web page, please! :) I'm being seduced to go to GenCon, where I know some of you end up too. I don't think I can make all of the Cons, but one or two *might* be possible... :) -- Stephen "The Evil One" Buonocore V:EKN Prince of New Jersey [ quoted text not captured ]

How many people are going to Origins this year? I will be playing in all the Vampire events there hopefully. How about GenCon? Which one is better to go to for Vampire tourneys? Mike Buckley LSJ <vte...@wizards.com> wrote in message news:387F782F...@wizards.com... [ quoted text not captured ]

There were two tournaments, one with about 16 players and one with about 10, and I ended up running them both (and playing as well--we had sort of a Judges Triumverate, but it never really became an issue), as Wizards didn't really have a judge for them. The tournies were fun, and there were a lot of prizes--everyone got stuff just for showing up. There was some sort of sealed/draft event, but I only think about 3 or 4 people played that (and I wasn't one of them, so I don't really know...)

Ok, well I am pretty sure I will be at DragonCon and Origins this year. I went to GenCon last year so I wanted to alternate between Origins and GenCon every year. Going to DragonCon this year is kind of a fluke because I really didn't plan on going until the other day but I am going to help a friend run his table and maybe sell a few things. I'm sure I will bring all of my Vampire singles with me and do some trading/selling at the table when I'm not playing. I went to DragonCon in 95 and 98 so I usually have lots of fun but this year will be the first time to play in a Vampire tourney.
