Message: <blockquote data-quote="UselessTriviaMan" data-source="post: 5863599" data-attributes="member: 6678460">I have... this... thing. When I come up with an idea for a game, it tends to be <a href="http://www.enworld.org/forum/general-rpg-discussion/318328-evolution-convention-game-grindhouse-lotsa-pics.html#post5818898" target="_blank">completely over the top</a>. (I'm pretty sure it's a major disad. Just ask my wife.) My next project: I want to organize and run a role-playing tournament at a local convention. I've got a little over a year to put it all together. I've never attempted anything like this, but I think it's the kind of thing I'd utterly love to create. I've played in the <a href="http://nascrag.org/" target="_blank">NASCRAG</a> tournament at Gen Con a couple of times, and I'd really like to capture that kind of feel. Lots of humor, role-playing, puzzles, and action all role'd (see what I did there?) into a tasty, memorable event.My questions:<ul> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Have any of you ever attempted anything like this? </li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">What are the pitfalls or choke points I/we should watch out for when creating/running this kind of event? </li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Which would you rather see - team advancements, or individual player advancements to the later rounds, or 'everybody plays all three rounds and best player/team scores win'? </li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">For those who have played in RPG tourneys before, what did you like most about them? What didn't you like?</li> </ul>I've already got an adventure (mostly) planned out. I also have a small group of quality GMs that I can call upon to help me run this beastie. I plan to playtest the hell out of this thing before we release it into the wild. We've got just over a year to bring it all together.Am I nuts? Maybe. But it's gonna be a fun ride on the way to the sanitarium!</blockquote>
