Very nice! Loved the breakdowns of Houses and regions; something I had always kind of wondered about. Well done.
Thanks a lot! As I mentioned in the comments section for the first issue, I'm hoping to do these 2-4 times per year, with the next one to come after GenCon. This regionals version was a lot of work, mostly because I had to spend tons of time tracking down results from people who posted incomplete info, etc.

It would be great if there were a way to track tourney results that were complete, and that didn't involve digging through so many old FFG forum threads.

The August issue should be a bit easier though, since all the data should be based around one major tournament.
Just wanted to say thanks for this. I really enjoyed reading it!
Very nice newsletter! Thank you for putting it together, and I look forward to future issues!
Excellent initiative! Some very nice reading!

More of these please :)
more please, this is good
For those looking for more, I am currently working on a post-Worlds Championship issue. Though it's still in more of an embryonic stage, the plan is to include content on:

--data/statistics and thoughts on joust and melee formats
--discussion about the "overall champion" controversy
--profiles of the top 4 joust decks (if not the full deck list)
--hints at what the two champions, Corey and Brett, will do with their champion design card (I hope)
--remarks from lead AGOT designer Nate French
--other great content written by former world champions and community thought leaders

The tentative publication date is late August, but it all depends on how long it takes for contributors to get back to me.
