The Complete Origins 2019 Tournament Recap!

News Flash! Origins Tournament Recap! Riders on the Phlogiston was the DCC tournament for Gen Con 2018 – and for the first time, we also ran the tournament at Origins! Origins 2019 saw its first official DCC RPG tournament. Pictured above are tournament winners from the cleverly named Team Three. Left to Right: Nema Bezak, Tom Gintner, Dan Kennedy, Jeff Goad (judge), Ivan Thomas, Matt Snodgrass, and Michael Bolam (judge). And here is a late-breaking recap of the Origins tournament! Judge Jeff here, with a recap of the 2019 Dungeon Crawl Classics RPG Tournament at Origins! After two successful runs of the tournament at Gen Con, we decided it was time to bring it to Origins. These players brought their A-game and made this an unforgettable event! Over three days, we ran eleven sessions, ten of which ended in TPKs! The tournament proved even more brutal and bloody than at Gen Con. The tables that fared the best were often the ones that included folks who had gamed together before and signed up as teams. But many solo players showed up, joining existing teams or having one formed for them on the fly. Judge Jeff Goad begins the tournament! Thursday – Day 1 We had five teams playing. I ran two of them (Team Don’t Knock It and Team Funnel Fodder), Judge Mike ran two as well (the Band of the Silver Moose and the Midnight Marauders), and there was one team under Judge Dieter (Team Three). Of those five teams, four qualified to move on to the next round. The Band of the Silver Moose was the only team to survive the first adventure and escape the dungeon, so they quickly became the team to beat! Day 1 Advancing Scores: Band of the Silver Moose (Judge Mike): +3127Team Three (Judge Dieter): +950Team Funnel Fodder (Judge Jeff): -250Midnight Marauders (Judge Mike): -300 Team Don’t Knock It (Judge Jeff) scored -400 and did not move on to the second round. Friday – Day 2 This day played out as one might have expected, looking at the previous day’s scores. Except this time, Team Three took the lead over the Band of the Silver Moose! Day 2 Advancing Scores: Team Three (Judge Mike): +5400Band of the Silver Moose (Judge Jeff): +4150 The Midnight Marauders (Judge Jeff) scored +2450 and Team Funnel Fodder (Judge...

Gen Con 2018 Tournament Statistics

The aftershocks of Gen Con 2018 just keep coming. It was an amazing con, and one of the highlights was the big DCC Team Tournament. The 2018 Gen Con DCC Team Tournament brought together Judges and players alike as they competed in our title event, Riders on the Phlogiston. This year 98 players competing on 18 different teams took on the deadly challenge, more than doubling the size of the last year’s tournament. Over the course of four brutal days and three hard-fought rounds, many PCs fell and a record number of teams were wiped out in TPKs. Eventually two champions emerged: the first place Hammertoes and the runner-up Lords of Sarcasm. You can read Harley’s recap of the tournament here. We now present the official tournament stats, including all the Judges, rooms and authors that contributed to this year’s amazing event. And we’re proud to introduce the Count Dante Tournament Rating System! This is a new rating scale for the deadliest tournament modules based on actual play results, described below.

Riders on the Phlogiston: The 2018 DCC Tournament Recap By Harley Stroh Last year’s DCC RPG open tournament amounted to a proof of concept. Could DCC be run in a tournament setting? Would it still feel like DCC? The answer was yes. Players and judges alike explored DCC RPG through a new lens. Year Two brought an entirely different tenor. This year, players were out for blood. And, with no fewer than 14 TPKs over 24 sessions, the...
