Sounds like it’ll be buttloads of fun!

Hoping so. Kicking in doors, killing critters, and taking loot is fun... but there is more to playing than that. I'm not introducing calculus or sudoku to the adventure but there are places where brains are preferable to brawn.

My first GaryCon event is in, and I'll be DMing in Paul Stormberg's Friday night Legends of Roleplaying tourney again this year, in addition to running some levels from my Castle Greyhawk somewhere in there, and helping to run the Greyhawk seminar again. Should be fun!

The Warped Caverns of Tsojconth

Plumb the depths of the 1976 Wintercon V tourney and S4 Lost Caverns
of Tsojcanth modules seeking the unlooted extra-planar domiciles of
the Witch Queen of Perrenland! grodog's expansion will challenge
players already familiar with TSR’s classic dungeons, as well as those
who have never explored the Lesser- or Greater Caverns. (No
wilderness). Pre-generated PCs of levels 10-14 will be provided.

Long Description:

Explore grodog's high-level version of The Lost Caverns of Tsojconth.
In the Yatil Mountains west of the Velverdyva River, the magical hoard
of the Witch Queen of Perrenland still lies unlooted. Hundreds of
adventurers have perished in search of its treasures. A lucky few have
returned with fabulous artifacts, incantations of surpassing might,
and tales of horror and woe! Plumb the extra-planar perils of the Lost
Caverns of Tsojconth, and seek the hidden domiciles of Iggwilv herself!

grodog's expansion of the 1976 Wintercon V tournament and S4 Lost
Caverns of Tsojcanth module will challenge jaded players already
familiar with this classic dungeon, as well as those who have never
explored the Lesser or Greater Caverns. (No wilderness). Pre-generated
PCs of levels 10-14 will be provided.

Starts Saturday 18:00 - Midnight (6 Hours)

Sounds slick Allan, I'll have to keep it in mind for wrapping up Saturday night.

What start time are you eyeballing for the Thursday Castle Greyhawk event? I'm thinking of running my game @ noon on Thursday so if yours if that evening I can keep it in mind.

Evening all around, starting at either 6pm or 7pm depending on how late the exhibit hall remains open.

Finally...

Noticed this topic on the GC site forums:

I don't care the reason for them moving Adventure League into the Forums, it should have been done a LONG time ago. Now hopefully they move all of the old-school (A)D&D and retro games back to the main halls and rooms. Maybe now it will feel more like previous years, with the 5e crowd occupying one end of the resort and everything else at the other end.

I've also noticed a few calls from the GC staff for more games and game masters, I don't remember this being the case last year so I'm wondering how many fewer games are running in 2020 than previous years.

How about moving Adventurers League events to the KFC lobby down the road?

It'll be interesting to compare the number of GCXII events to GCXI.
