According to the L5R site on Celestial Edition (info here), CE will come with a release tournament that can be run from release (the 22nd) up until July 13th.

So yeah, the 28th sounds fine to me.

good deal. I look forward to it!

AEG did it to us.

They just sent an e-mail saying that the tourney dates must be between June 29th and July 5th. Sooo, what do you guys think?

Yeah... they changed the date again. Pity we can't just still do it the 28th. But I'm up for most any day as long as I've got the time to get the day off work.

Not much of a prerelease if the release date is set for the 29th.

Y'know, if you get the Celestial Edition base set in time, I'm still cool with going for the 28th. AEG has moved the release date back twice and the only weekend they're allowing now is the 4th of July weekend. I won't be busy, but can everybody else say that?

We can keep it the way it is but, we may not have the goods yet. I'm ok with it because I feel like we're being jerked a little bit.

Do you usually have sets a little before the street date? Or is there no real way for you to know? It would be sad not to have Celestial base to do the proper sealed event.

I usually have it before hand. However, I have no way of controlling this. July 5th could work but I'm afraid we'll lose people to the holidays.
