In a tournament, you're given your character, and the goal is to score as many points as you can (including good RP, bypassing monsters and traps, and finding treasure). Very few player ever managed to complete a tournament adventure in the allotted time, and doing so was almost guaranteed victory (there were prizes). In a home game, a lot of the reasons for the hurry up playstyle becomes disjointed and odd, because time in game and time as a player are totally different.And yes, it was a wildly different game. Combat was only entered if necessary, since you got far more xp from treasure than monsters. Traps were the bane of all things, since most of them were potentially instant death/maiming. The game tested the skill of the players, rather than the characters, since most actions by the players were narrated, rather than done by rolls.</blockquote>
