Horus Heresy Zone Mortalis

11:00 am - 9:00 pm

Horus Herezy Zone Mortalis Event Packet

Amidst the fires of betrayal in the 31st millennium, there exists that moment, between the initial firestorm and the declaration of victory. When legions turn into skirmishers, and structure falls to pieces. It is in this moment you find yourself, commanding whatever forces are local to eradicate the enemy. We will be playing 1500 points using Zone Mortalis list restrictions, with the following exceptions: - The Unit Size restriction is removed (units can now contain more than 15 models) - 0-1 Dedicated Transport worth 150 points or less may be taken. It deploys with its unit embarked, and increases its Reinforcement Point cost by 1 (i.e. a 1RP tactical squad would cost 2RP to bring on if it purchased a rhino). - 0-1 vehicle squadron, each with no more than 4 Hull Points may be taken. This can comprise no more than 25% of your total points. - No Unique units may be chosen. For more information on this event, keep checking here for updates and follow the link to the Event Packet above.

Dungeons and Dragons: TEST YOUR MIGHT!

5:00 pm - 9:00 pm

For their namesake, or fun (the plain fun of it), a player versus player Dungeons and Dragons event. A Blonde haired Deity grows bored. In his realm beyond realms, watching the humanoids, celestial and demons, much about the material plane has its perks but for the last millennia, nothing really interesting has happened. So, the Deity decides to host a contest of champions, held in his realm, outside of time and space. In this dream-like place, he can force the bravest, strongest and cleverest of all the species to fight one another for glory! RULES: 1. Each fight is five rounds of D&D combat. 2. Up to 8 Hit Dice can be spent between rounds to replenish Hit Points. Once they’re spent, they’re gone for the rest of the match. 3. Conditions reset after each round. 4. Effects remain for the duration of the effect or until removed. 5. If a combatant is reduced to 0 hp, the round ends. If this occurs to the same combatant in 3 different rounds, the match ends in a TKO (Technical Knock Out). 6. If a combatant starts a round with 0 HP and has no Hit Dice left to spend, the match ends in a KO (Knock Out). 7. If the match goes the distance (all 5 rounds without a KO or TKO), the DM decides the winner based on Roleplay, Battlefield Strategy, and Damage Dealt. 8. Combatants can gain Inspiration if the engage in Trash talk before and during the in between rounds of the fight. As always the DM has final say on any rules or regulation challenges . D&D 5e Maximum Players: 20
