The town of Provo in Utah was the scene of a new world record this weekend when 1,227 Dungeons & Dragon players joined together for the largest game of D&D ever played and defended a castle against the archlich Vecna.
The event was organized by Andrew Ashby, who owns Geek Together, a store in the town's mall, Provo Towne Centre mall. The previous record was about 500 people, which Ashby more than doubled. Geek Together opened last November.
For a game of that size, a system of runners was employed to communicate information between the many tables and the lead Dungeon Master, Dax from Dungeon Master Direct. 200 individual DMs were also used. There was a livestream of the event (below).
