Lure of ME XXI
Posted: Mon Jul 05, 2021 8:18 am
Chances are good that also in 2021 a Lure event will take place. Lots of players already registered, we are ready for another Long Expected Party.
You will find all the info about it at the Lure homepage:
https://lureofmiddleearth.com/
This year, however, the event will be a little bit different:
The October weekend is obvious.
Also, we have already spread the info, that there wont be any prizes this year. Thats because in October we are not yet in the cheaper Winter season at the castle, so there are regular room prices. In order not to raise the Lure fee, we decided to do without prizes this year. But also, because getting some prize material takes some efforts (time and money) in advance, and in this year circumstances made things too unpredictable.
then, another player brought up the idea of having Worlds at Lure this year. There is no World Championship planned for 2021 for obvious reasons, which usually takes place in the autemn season. And the usual suspects are already gathered at the castle anyway.
The idea of Lure is a meeting of friends in a relaxed atmosphere to play some games - without focusing too much on competition. Thats why tourneys like Worlds have not been part of Lure in the past. But this year is different, so i would be in for a change, if wanted by the players. Then, the Genereal Opponent tournament on Saturday will be the semifinals (at least 5 rounds), and the top 4 will qualify for finals on Sunday (round robin). Of course at least the winner should be rewarded with the usual One Ring. So there will be a participation fee (10 Euro).
Its not yet decided, lets wait for some reactions first.
I had to make a few changes to the schedule. For example Alex wont be there, so no Cool Play tourneys. Also, I almost ran out of sealed products (especially TW starters), so Sealed tourneys will dwindle and change. Not all of it is confirmed yet, so there might be more changes.
