Are Grid Reality Maps considered official for Gen-Con?

No. From the nice, shiny new Complete Tournament Rules:

1.2.10 Maps: Any WizKids-created HeroClix map is considered official. Official 36- by 36-inch maps (3 x 3) can be used in any HeroClix event. Official 24- by 36-inch maps (2 x 3) can be used in...

Thanks for yet another blubbery sarcastic, however, quick response. My only hope is that you at least stuck your corn dog in your mouth before answer.

How was that even remotely sarcastic?

We got a brand new document on the 20th. Dollars to donuts most of the people in this place doesn't even know it exists yet, so why shouldn't I let people know there is a new one?


So I called you out once for being lazy and now everything I say is something to take personally? Considering how much I post here, you're going to wind up with a persecution complex if you start going down that road...

Was that really necessary?

Are you really that upset over him calling you out over your self-admitted laziness?

I don't see anything wrong with his answer. I think that the "nice, shiny new" part was there because some people not even realize that it's been released.

what the hell just happened here? ive actually got to say that normalview just got snapped at for no reason.

I'm really kinda lazy, can you come over to my place and cook me up a corndog?

I can see it both ways. This time I think the OP over-reacted. With that said, in the past Norvalview's responses have been well... Snarky.

I have felt that they come across as "read the rules before you post you moron and by the way here is your answer."

Ever since he became a deputy his responses have been toned down, and more..... Softer.

I know the guy personally and I can tell you that that is not his intent at all. He wants you to take a moment and read the manual, and if you need a clarification then ask.

Now from the OP's side not everyone has time to read and interpret all the ever changing rules and just wanted a quick answer, and not a lecture.

In short you asked for an answer and you got one. Stop reading into the post deeper than it is.

Seconded.

Having a rough day, Ponx?

If you don't like the answers, then RTFM.

If you're "too lazy" to do a search on "RTFM", then live in ignorance.

surely Read The Manual is easy enough for online peoples to just guess?

Ready The Fart Machine!!!

GridReality is working on getting the maps sanctioned for official tournament play ... it's a licensing thing; and there are hurdles we're trying to jump through. No idea if they would be compatible ... but if a deal is reached; we'll let everyone know then.

*cross-fingers *

That would be awesome, Mr. Grid Reality. Played on your maps last week and loved them.

Guess you'll be driving yourself to GenCon
