We gamers, geeks, and nerds engross ourselves in fantasies of resistance to oppression and it is our duty to speak out against oppression when it happens in the real world. So many of the games we all love to play are based on stories of resisting exactly the kind of tyranny that is being espoused by the United States government right now. How would Captain America feel about what is happening in Minneapolis and other cities? What about Luke, Leia, and Han?

If you want to help those in need, here are some resources. Please consider helping in whatever way you are able.

What is Longshanks?

Longshanks is an online organization system for tabletop game tournaments and other events.

Longshanks allows organizers to easily publicize events and manage player pairings. It allows players to easily find and participate in local events, see what other events are happening around the world, and follow the global metagame.

Why the name?

In the lore of Guild Ball, tournaments and games between the various guilds are organized by a powerful and secretive society known as "the Longshanks." Because this site was originally developed specifically for Guild Ball, the name was a perfect fit.

Since expanding to support other game systems, Longshanks has outgrown that reference. We continue using the name as a respectful nod to the game that got us started and all the players and event hosts who have supported us since the beginning.

Coded lists

JSON coded list submission

If you submit a list using standardized JSON code when registering for an event, your units and cards will be included in statistics for that event and for the entire Legion metagame.

To submit a coded list, copy the JSON code for your list using the "export" function of your favorite list builder. Paste that into the "list" section of your Longshanks event registration and you're all set. It's that easy!
