Shadowfist Champions Program
What is the Champions Program?
Shadowfist Champions are dedicated players who take their passion for the game well beyond playing and collecting. Champions are those players who surpass conventional fandom to make Shadowfist a gaming priority wherever they go.
What do I have to do?
Responsibilities include, but are not limited to:
1) Running demos at their local game store as well as the local gaming convention.
2) Teaching new players and guiding them into joining the Shadowfist community.
3) Running tournaments and events at the local gaming convention.
4) Organizing and running an annual Proving Ground League for their playgroup.
5) Updating me on their progress with event reports and contact information of new players.
What do I get out of it?
Rewards for such efforts will include:
1) The much-coveted “Mark of Evil” promo, exclusive to Shadowfist Champions.
2) A full supply of promos for the Champion’s playgroup with their choice of a few extra to add to their own collection.
3) The full backing of Shadowfist Games in promoting and advertising events to maximize participation.
4) The distinction of being among the elite players who are working hard to keep this great game going!
UPDATE
TO EARN "The Mark of Evil," a Champion must:
1) Organize and run at least one full Proving Ground League
2) Schedule and run at least two Shadowfist events at a convention (local or major)
Upon successful completion of these requirements, the Champion will receive their Mark of Evil promo in the mail. With further event support, it will be possible for a single Champion to earn more than one copy of "The Mark of Evil."
How do I join?
Contact Daniel Griego at icediadem@yahoo.com if you are interested in becoming a Shadowfist Champion.
As this program develops and grows, I will work toward improving the rewards and refining the specific activities of Champions. For now, though, interested parties should be prepared to focus on demos, Proving Grounds, and convention events.
