Ciao Emiliano,

Is there some upper limit for the number of participants, due to space reasons of the location?
Best regards

Hi Hardy,
Not really, no. I talked to the shop to warn them that we may require more (or the whole) space. Of course if we were like 100 we would start being way too squeezed... but I don't think that is a real life problem
More importantly: are you and/or any others of the Bochum(ish) crowd planning to attend?

Well, looking at the list of players, it seems that Steffen, Michael K and I are participating .
I am of course advertising your tournament, to try to get even more people from our group to join.

Ok thanks Hardy.
So we are back to 40... plus the mysterious Luqon (unless he is already in the list registered by other means like via FB).
Stay tuned for a preview of the prizes and promos soon!

Loot update!
Every participant in the V:TES Brussels GP 2023 will receive several promo cards, including the special Grand Prix version of Tier of Souls, the “Belgian version” of Bum’s Rush and the EC 2022 promo Maila (courtesy of Black Chantry), plus one copy of each vampire from the new Echoes of Gehenna and Shadows of Berlin packs and additional promos!
And of course, more loot from Black Chantry and Ultra PRO is ready for the winner and the finalists… and even an additional home made surprise!

Five days to the GP! Can't wait...
A small public service announcement: I prepared the promo "packs" for the participants. Each player will receive an assortment of 19 promo cards, some fixed and some randomly assigned to the various individual packs.
We currently have 48 players registered, and I prepared 50 packs. So if you want to play but have not registered yet, make sure to do so, so that if needed I can prepare additional packs. Thanks!
[UPDATE: we’re 50 now! So if you plan to come and you are not registered please TELL ME or you risk not receiving the promos!]

Hello Emiliano,
mixed news:
Michael J.-B. will not be able to participate in the tournament.
Very probably, however, my brother will be there:
Dietmar Range (#3840060)
See you on Sunday!
