Tournament Ideas
Submitted by Desolate on June 16, 2009 - 20:36.
Here's some advice after the open beta starts. Play some matches, customize your decks and get the basics down. After you feel confident, come on down to our tournaments where you can mix it up for a taste of the real thing.
The R&R tournaments will be a great opportunity for you to connect with other players, try deck designs, swap some cards, and improve your skills. Almost forgot - you'll get a chance to win cards and skill points. Just whatever every player needs for that little extra boost.
Alright, here are some tournament ideas we are playing with:
Prerelease: A select number of players will get a chance to play with, and win, the newest cards before they are released to everybody else.
Storyline: You will take a direct hand in directing the future of the R&R story, new cards and even new features being introduced intot the game.
Face the Ace: You think you got what it takes? Pit your best deck against those of our game designers.
That's just a taste of what we are thinking of. We've got more tournament ideas we're tossing around. Stay tuned!

Story Tournament
Story tournaments are awesome. I'm a big fan of letting players move the storys and ideas. It lets roleplayers, like me, take the game to the next level. Card games are fun, story makes it better.

Story Tournament
Thanks Hume. We think storyline based tournaments are going to be a key way to take R&R to the next level. First, players will get a chance to decide which direction the game should take. Second, we get to bring the back-story directly into game-play. Third, we get to add flavour by bringing in the gods and key NPCs into the game. We are still working out the details but here’s the general idea of how it could work.
Each storyline tournament will be based on a multi-week campaign focused on a particular theme. The campaign will present a number of options regarding particular cards to release, features to develop or directions the story can take. The tournaments winners (1st, 2nd, 3rd, etc.) will be able to cast votes to whichever option that player prefers the most. The option with the most votes will be implemented in the future design of the game.

Why Kind of Tournaments?
Other than the story tournaments what other formats are you going to offer?

RE: Why Kind of Tournaments?
Hey Mandrake: good question. I've created a brief post about the different tournament formats we are considering for R&R.
