[QUOTE="EvilBeeker, post: 8628373, member: 11606"] I see the confusion. The copy you pasted from your friend is only Round One, which was written by Dave Gross. Round Two was written by (myself) Kevin Melka and had the majority of the Spelljammer material in it. I'm not surprised to see this as many multi-round RPGA events are not represented properly on Internet "lists", and seldom do they include specific content. Finding complete copies of multi-round RPGA events is also not an easy task. The best list I can find online of LC events at [I]rpggeek.com[/I] doesn't even list Dave as a co-author. I would ask your friend if he has a copy of Round Two if you're looking for SJ content. I don't even have a copy of either round anymore, just the t-shirt. The 1998 copyright is probably correct for when the tournament was last [U]edited[/U] and/or mailed out to an RPGA member. Copyright statements on RPGA events reflected when the event was last updated. [I]Hammer of Fire[/I] was originally written in 1994 for Gen Con 27, and was also highly requested after because members liked to use it as an intro adventure for Spelljammer.
