tournament at GenCon 2005?
Any plans for Origins? If no tournament plans are underway, someone
should consider running a couple tables with another DCC adventure.
I could guarantee one full table.

Last year, I barely got a table (and I registered the first day).goodmangames wrote:I can't promise anything (and I'm not even sure if Gen Con's registration system handles that), but I'll bring it up for discussion...
Yeah, I remember you.superfan wrote:Hey Dan,
Great game last Gencon! I was the funny spectator stalking your group, and learning all their secrets!![]()
I wanted to warn you....I'm bringing my posse this time, and we're taking Clan Yeoman down!!!....NOT!
I hope this team thing works, and we'll see if I can get 3 of my gaming group to Indy this year. I look forward to giving you a tough fight this August. Later bro,

Well, I've already posted most of my opinions in the other GenCon tournament thread. I'll add one more though - how well a team works together is less of an issue with 4 people. When we used to play the D&D Open, team member selection was always important. Too many alpha males make for a difficult team. There also has to be more coordination in terms of combat...players rushing in before spells go off, encounters that could have been handled with more skill and less brawn, etc. So, by cutting the number of players down to 4, you are eliminating that element.ynnen wrote: If you have a strong, compelling argument for a particular table/team size, go ahead and make it -- a lot of factors are being considered, and we want to make a decision that makes the most of this wonderful tournament setting and gives the players what they want.
Joseph, can we leak the proposed module name? Can we make them tremble in fear right now? That's a whole spring and summer worth of fear to revel in!
Players now have the option of purchasing tickets for their entire team this year, so I'm sure that there will be plenty of those. Parties aren't typically formed at random, but if you purchase a ticket, you are guaranteed a spot on a team. I'm sure that there will be others that will be without an entire team.arandall wrote:I'm curious, having never been to a con or played a tournament module. Do people come as a party, a pre-existing group of players playing together. Or is it a pick up deal, with parties formed randomly from everybody present?
At least last year, my friend and I bought tickets for a specific slot, and we were teamed up with the other four people who had bought tickets for that same slot - we didn't know them ahead of time. Since we won, it seemed to work out OK.Do people come as a party, a pre-existing group of players playing together. Or is it a pick up deal, with parties formed randomly from everybody present?
It DOES sound menacing. I guess that you tossed the earlier idea of the dreaded "Vault of the Halfling Queen"?ynnen wrote: Until Joseph's ready to reveal more, you'll have to settle for repeating the name over and over, and pre-tremble in pre-fear.
