I played the adventure at Gen Con 2014 via the All Access morning pass.  I came away with a sense of being in a whirlwind and didn't know quite what to think at the time. It was pretty awesome feeling being a room with a couple of hundred other players playing the same scenario. Richard Marflak was my DM and did an outstanding job judging the table. I really like the cooperative aspect of the Epic event and that your tables results contributed to the overall success (or failure) of the event. I really enjoyed the room wide events that happened as the adventure unfolded. The one I remember the best is when the dragon would make attack runs and each table to had to fend him off and tally up enough damage collectively to defeat the threat. As awesome as it was being in a room of a few hundred gamers tends to make it hard to hear and coupled with everyone being new to the system the pacing was a little too fast to fully enjoy all of the parts of the adventure. We also had to periodically report our progress to the judge captain so he could tally the result of our section. At times trying to make sure we got through the adventure, reported our progress and paid attention to the periodic announcements from HQ made it hard to keep track of everything and complete all of our parts on time.  There was one particular section that we ran out of time to complete and had to move on.  Also, being the first Epic of the Adventurers League line of adventures and being the first time it was played there was a feeling of kicking the tires and working out the kinks. I think the biggest overall improvement that could have been done for my session would be a better placed sound system. Most of the side tables didn't get any direct sound so it was hard to hear the HQ announcements that were important to the scenario.  Overall Baldman Games, Wizards, and other the other team members put on a heck of a show and made my first Gen Con experience one to remember and will bring me back for more in the future. I do hope that the Epic is made available at some point for smaller venues to run. I am pretty sure we could get interest in my area to put it on.</blockquote>
