- January 31, 2025: GEM Pack policy added.
Use of Organized Play Materials
This policy covers the use of Organized Play Materials.
Stores are not permitted to sell organized play materials which have been provided by Legend Story Studios for in-store events. Surplus promos, playmats and other materials may be used to support on demand and casual events and must not be used as a sales incentive.
Stores must be able to demonstrate that they have hosted events and distributed the organized play materials to their players and/or judges in accordance with the event guidelines published on Retailer News.
Use of GEM Packs
GEM Packs must be used to support in-store play. Armory Events should be prioritized for the use of GEM packs and they may be used to support a range of events and player engagement, including:
- Armory Events (maximum 1 event per week)
- On Demand events
- Learn to Play events
- As rewards to community members teaching others how to play Flesh and Blood, whether they are facilitating an event or helping out spontaneously
Stores have flexibility to use GEM Packs to match the culture and needs of your in-store community. The packs can be used as performance-based prizing, participation rewards, or random prize draws. They may not be sold, used as a sales incentive, or used to promote anything except Flesh and Blood.
Resale of Organized Play Materials
Stores are permitted to purchase certain materials on the secondary market for the purpose of resale according to the following restrictions:
- Participation, judge, and prize cards , playmats and other prize accessories from Tier 1 in-store event programs (Pre-release, Skirmish, Social Play) must not be resold within 1 calendar month of the final date of the event series.
