I just wanted to firmly derail the thoughts of turning this into a long smackdown session.I have long contended that ENWorld represents many of the best and brightest in D&D, as well as the whole of the Pen and Paper RPG world. If this is going to be an event defined by ENWorld then it needs to be an event worthy of ENWorld. A mix of intrigue, combat, mystery, politics and just good ole fashion roleplaying is well within our grasp with good GM's, good writing and a solid idea. We are coming out with some good ideas now. Ultimately though, we need to put 2-3 people in "charge" of this event. Have those people decide within the next month or two what the basis of the event will be.Then get started on writing the "script" for the event (I use that term loosely, you can't script something this big). Get the GM's involved and make sure that when it comes time to run this...it gets run right. Probably the best thing for character creation would be core rulebooks only, character submission deadline of maybe July 1st. All characters and players have to be pre-registered for this event through whoever from the boards here is running it (no last minute sign-ups at the Con, that's a nightmare). Characters will be collected and saved for distribution at GenCon. Between July 1st and GenCon will be the unenviable task of breaking these characters into groups of the necessary size (balanced for size and play balance - ie, no 5 wizard groups). Obviously it doesn't have to happen this way...but I've run events on this scale before. If you spread out your preparation over the years time. Set reasonable but firm deadlines. Get others involved. And have everything ready to go well before hand. You'll have a much more successful event. On a side note, though they may elect to not have this honor. I would like to see Teflon Billy and P-kitty be two of the 2-3 people who are in charge of this event. This may not mesh with their schedule though...so I'm not trying to rope them into something.
