How do I love GenCon? Let me count the ways!

Heheh, ask Quickbeam about that, if he gets around to posting in this thread (he's been a bit inactive for a while, but he asked me for the link specifically.) He got $100 for a game of D&D!

Did he "perform" for the DM or something? Seriously, how do you make money playing D&D? I want me some o' dat!

Your group faces an appropriate level encounter, and the group to defeat their challenge the fastest, wins $100 per surviving member.

D&D for cash? How does that work? And is True Dugeon as fun as it looks? Universe makes a swanky paladin.

True Dungeon is fun but you run the risk with party members, it is better with those you know.

I was paid 50 bux a week for 6 weeks one summer to run a 2 hour/week session for a bunch of kids at a summer school program. That rawked. Just a 2 hour hack'n'slash where they had to learn to rely on each other or have the monsters eat their heads. EZ money.

Ah. I take it you use pregen characters? Sounds neat.

This year we used the "Iconics." I don't know whether that's the same every year though.

Actually, that's not what Quickbeam did at all. I don't want to steal his thunder unless it's apparent that he's not going to pop in and tell his story, but he got paid $100 to not play a game of D&D.

I know he bumped into several ENWorlders during the Con and told them the story, though.

True Dungeon is - without a doubt - worth your $20/ticket. It is an aboslute BLAST.

*nods* You've only got an hour, I believe. You get a big list of characters and everyone gets to select. The DM said that he had a bunch of combos (including a group of nearly all wizards) attempt to take on the dragon.

Oh...I'd love to hear that story.
