News from the Origins 2007 Convention
http://wizkidsgames.com/mechwarrior/mw_article.asp?cid=41543
The Clan Nova Cat spirit quest event for this year was hosted at the Origins 2007 convention in Columbus, OH. Players actually helped determine the outcome of in-story events by their play during the convention. Michael Miller helped referee the event for Wizkids, and has posted a recap of all the Mechwarrior action over at the Wizkids site. Here are a few excerpts:
The final war in the Nova Cats vision quest was actually more about House Kurita trying to call for help from another Clan. House Kurita had contacted the Rasalhague Dominion for help in pushing back the Nova Cats, but Clan Jade Falcon decided to scratch its claws on the Rasalhague world of Alrakis. DragonDawg tried his hardest to fight for the Dominion, and ended up winning the day, but his Bears just couldn’t push back the Falcons enough to help Kurita in its time of need. DragonDawg brought along a motley crew of units that worked very well together: Phelan in his “Vengeance” and Mila Mazur and Scott Graves running around in Bannson’s Raiders Solitaires. He also brought some Combat Techs, Thunderbird Battle Armor, Thunder Launchers, a Bishop, a certain mercenary Kelswa we all know and love, and a few other units such as a Bannson’s Sprint. All of his wins helped out the Bears, but in the end Clan Jade Falcon defeated the Ghost Bears 11 wins to 10.So, after following their vision quest, the Nova Cats have sent a clear message to House Kurita: The Dragon throne has been corrupted, and only they can help the true heir ascend and take her rightful place. Emi Kurita will return with the Nova Cats, and the false Dragon will fall. Only with the Nova Cats at their side can the Dragon be whole and pure once more!
