[QUOTE="shaylon, post: 2961125, member: 22867"] Not sure if it was the same guy but I played in a similar setup at GenCon Indy. It was called D&D for cash, and it is back this year AFAIK. The scenario was to get a group of 6 to kill a dragon the quickest. I think he ran ten a day or so and the winners were announced on Sunday. I believe 4 or 6 rounds won it, I think my group did it in about 9 rounds. It was kind of a ripoff IMO, although it was still fun. The reason I say it was a ripoff is that he generated the characters and there were better options. Also I am sure he walked away with quite a bit of the money as he ran so many of them, and the entry fee was a little high. As an example he touted the character as basically optimized for the scenario but my barbarian had the Improved Cleave feat and there was only one dragon. Not sure why he thought that was useful when there are many other feats that I could think of that would have been much more helpful. If you can get a full group together and be prepped for something like this then I suggest doing it. I want to say that the prize was several hundred dollars. -Shay [/QUOTE]
