Message: <blockquote data-quote="Majoru Oakheart" data-source="post: 6676841" data-attributes="member: 5143">The specials are normally extremely combat heavy.  Their purpose for the longest time was to represent large battles that took place or extremely difficult missions against extremely dangerous foes.  Last year we fought against a Dragon and its army while each table took on missions to destroy siege weapons or sneak behind enemy lines.They have a reputation for being deadly sustained battles.  But they are generally structures into pieces and the pieces are handed out based on what level the table is and what the results of the earlier part of the adventure was.  They are often hard to run unless you've had plenty of time to read the entire thing before hand so you can get an idea of exactly how it all fits together.Though they also have a reputation for being finished by the author the day before GenCon starts and not having been distributed to the DMs until an hour before the event starts.All this situation has done is given me a huge desire to correct the problem by DMing again.  I haven't DMed at GenCon for a number of years now.  Although I can't say I'm the greatest DM on the planet or anything, the stories being told make me feel really bad for the players at Gen Con and I think I can at least exceed the experiences people are talking about.It's just that since I started dating my girlfriend a couple of years ago, I haven't been able to justify spending the entire con running tables and not spending it with her.</blockquote>
