[QUOTE="Gus L, post: 9502736, member: 7045072"] Ah yes that is totally correct. Though G1 at least has a very different feel from the later tournament stuff. When I think Tournament modules I tend to think of stuff like Tamoachan and the A series. More aggressively structured and gimmicky. I still don't think Gygax's design is entirely a result of the one-shot/tournament focus, though that might explain some more about how this style of adventure works and what they evolved to do. As I note with the "Gygaxian Fortress" name there is something in these adventures that breaks strongly from the purported design of Castle Greyhawk and very much creates a particular kind of scenario. It might be interesting to take Gygax's adventures and look at how the "tournamentness" of them evolves over time? Especially by comparing the adventures to the rules and other notes regarding the style of tournament involved. [/QUOTE]
