There are three rounds to play, you have to meet a certain score in each round to proceed to the next. This is certified with a certificate signed by the judge showing points. These points can be scored in a number of ways, including roleplaying. Regardless, the adventure is a challenge on all levels, combat, strategy, traps, puzzles, roleplaying, touch choices, the whole nine yards. Each adventure should feel "packed". Master judges only to run these, to raise the bar on the judge qualification. This means the event is a bit hard to get into, which raises the desire level, promotes more DMs taking the Master test, and keeps the Classics on an even level with their demand. If Classics cannot compete with Living campaigns, then let's make them more exclusive.NB Maybe you choose from the Iconics for your team. Maybe the mods tell the story of the Iconics. Mayber certain ones are required for certain adventures. Maybe there is a group of pre-gens with lots built in interaction and more central to the plot. Maybe the Iconics have the built in interaction. I'm certain it will be possible to capture that old Classics feeling. Let's stop arguing about that for now and move on.After the con, master judges can order and run these mods. Yes, it's a lot like the Open, except you can play them at a gameday. The series is retired at D&D XP, and a new one is premiered. The draw:A.) Competition. gamers love pointsB.) Excellent modsC.) You can play it at a gamedayD.) Master DM finally have something to crow about.Old-time Classic players can still have their character interaction. It can even be built into the point system. If Ignod the Paladin, who was raised by the Beggar King, tries to save him when the rest of the party thinks he is evil, then there is a point bonus. If Rabbel the Rancid fails to try and betray the party because he is really in the Rat Lord's employ, then there is a deduction.</blockquote>
