Night Below Store Release
D&D Miniatures
by Ian Richards

Starting with Night Below, we are very pleased to announce that we are giving 300 retail stores the opportunity to run a special release event with support from Wizards of the Coast! These stores were given this opportunity since they have sanctioned and run D&D Miniatures games regularly. These stores will each receive a special release kit to help support and advertise their event. This includes a new Epic Stat card released for the first time via the program, a unique to event d20 featuring the set symbol, plus a poster advertising the store as an official site.

This program is free and open to any store that regularly sanctions, runs, and reports D&D Miniatures events. If you want to be considered for future release events, contact DCI Sanctioning or read more about sanctioning at www.theDCI.com.

When

Tournaments are held July 6th, 7th, or 8th, 2007.

Note: Stores already qualified to run this event, sanction the date that is best for you and your players.

Supply

These kits are only available to the 300 retailers who met our criteria. Kits will automatically be shipped to those stores once they confirm their inclusion. See Newsletter for details on how your store could qualify for a Desert of Desolation release event.

Entry Fee

The entry fee should include product (2 Booster Packs of Night Below) and any additional product for prize support. The DCI recommends $35 for Night Below Sealed events.

Tournament Structure/Format

• The structure for the Night Below release tournament is modified Swiss-style.
• DCI sanctioned 200-point Limited – 8 miniatures maximum.

Prizes/Giveaways

• The first 20 participants will each receive a special Epic stat card. We recommend no more than 1 per entrant to ensure as many can receive them as possible.
• Additionally each of the first twenty participants receives a special d20 marked with the expansion symbol. In the event you have more than twenty participants, award the first twenty with Epic stat cards and the remaining participants with d20s until everyone has something. Hand any extra d20s, as quantities allow, to the top placers. For example, you have twelve d20s remaining, given them to the top 12 placers.
• The retailer is responsible for rewarding additional Night Below booster packs to at least the top-4 finishers.

Notes

• All release tournaments are Sealed (Limited).
• All release tournaments will use the Assault format with 200-point builds.
• All participants should receive two Night Below Booster Packs from which to build their warband.
• Events must be sanctioned.
• Reporting is compulsory. Failure to report will mean disqualification from future release events.
