THE PLUNDER OF PENN IX (Tickets available)

 

Introduction

 

The Imperial world of Penn IX is gone. Lost to the warp never to be seen by mortal eyes again. But the Penn system is host to more than one habitable world. In the years since the loss of the planet the new Pen IX previously Pen Xhas changed, the shift in gravitational forces, has rendered the planet more hospitable to life it’s become much warmer and wetter sporting a new host of life forms and resources rich for the picking.

The new climate whilst now able to support life is still in its infancy and is racked with mighty hurricanes and rainstorms which has forged mighty rivers through iron deserts and has turned wastelands into tropical oasis’s. The drastic changes in the makeup of this world have exposed previously long-lost ruins, the origin of these are unknown but they appear to be ancient beyond comprehension. 

The construction of these ancient ruins is a mystery, but it is obvious that two very different and distinct races waged mighty wars here in times past. The ruins to the east are crude and shabby, scrawled with primitive images of gods long forgotten. Located within the great swamps, this place reeks of damp sporing fungus and a familiar stench of Xenos. In comparison the ruins to the west black and angular emit an aura of something evil ready to awaken.

Whatever these ruins are they only increase the interest of the ever watching eyes of potential raiding parties, for alien races have come to Pen IX for generations to plunder its bountiful resources and things aren’t about to change now. But they must be quick a storm is coming….

Tickets are available and can be obtained via 

The Plunder of Penn IX will have a reserves list so that in the unfortunate event of dropouts after the Insert Date, we may still be able to ensure the venue is full and I can refund if necessary. Please however do not transfer entries without contacting Insert Contact first as I will not be able to honour ticket transfers that have not been approved and I will not permit entry to anyone that is not on the entrants list.

Please note that photographs will be taken, and the event may be recorded for use in promotional materials in the future. If you object to being filmed please let us know at Insert Contact Details

Lunch

The Holmfirth Gaming Centre will provide a pre prepared lunch on the day.

Please note whilst the venue will do its best, it cannot guarantee that the food provided doesn’t contain or hasn’t come into contact with allergens. Whilst they will take steps to minimise risk and safely handle the foods that contain potential allergens, please be advised that cross contamination may occur, as factors beyond reasonable control may alter the formulations of the food served or manufacturers may change their formulations without the venue’s knowledge.

Therefore, please let us know at Insert Contact Details if you have any dietary requirement, allergies etc prior to the event.

COVID Restrictions 

Covid & Lockdown restrictions in England are currently lifted however there may be unforeseen circumstances arising in the future regarding potential limits of the number of people able to gather in one place and or social distancing. The Holmfirth Gaming Centre will aim to inform people of any changes as soon as practically possible.

If the limit to the amount of people allowed in the venue changes, then I may have to reduce the number of attendees. In this case I will reduce the number of people attending in reverse order of entrants, so entrant 50 would be the first to be removed from the event. If this scenario was to play out, full refunds to those individuals impacted would be made irrespective.

If Government restrictions prevent the event from going ahead, a decision will be made as to whether the event can be rescheduled or has to be cancelled completely. I will endeavour to contact entrants as soon as practically possible and arrange refunds if necessary.

Random Events – The Planet of Penn IX is a funny place and not everything is as at seems this event will be using random events for this tournament on Battle Round 3 please open the envelope on your table and follow the instructions sometimes these will good sometimes these will be maybe less good sometimes they will not even impact your game although they may impact someone else’s Mwa haha.

 

Behaviour

 

Please be advised that following your entry into the event the decisions of the Referees regarding rules decisions/interpretations and in all issues of health and safety are final. There will be no discussions once a decision is made, this is applied to all aspects of the event including but not limited to; rules adjudications, the scores applied for any category of the event, and any issues that require the cooperation of the competitors. Failure to comply will result in a yellow card, any further argument may result in a second yellow card and you will be asked to leave the event.

Please note if you receive 2 yellow cards over the course of the event you will be asked to leave, score 0 points for the tournament and you will not be eligible for any of the prizes.

I must insist on the highest standards of behaviour for this event, this applies to not only the Referees and myself but also to each other and members of the Holmfirth Gaming Centre Staff.

I will strive to make sure that all players have opponents and that all entrants get to play a game each round. People leaving the event early do not only make things difficult for me as the organiser but also adversely impact others as they may potentially miss a round. I appreciate that sometimes this is unavoidable, and emergencies do happen therefore, I would be grateful that if you do have to leave midway through the event or cannot make day 2 that you let me or a member of the event team know. 

Any player who is more than 15 minutes late to any round without a very good reason will suffer an immediate loss by the maximum points.
