The Grand Masters are looking for a few good men (or women or 'gamers'…)

If you are going to be attending the Gencon Game Convention in Indianapolis, Indiana this year and want to save cash to buy more interesting things than your convention pass, you might consider participating in an official XDM Killer Breakfast gaming tournament!

Here's how it works: Tracy Hickman personally will be organizing this event. You, as the Gencon-attending XDM will run six games (three 2-hour games on Thursday and three 2-hour games on Friday) for eight players each. You will then choose from your group one (or more) participants whose cleverness, XDM savvy, quick thinking and entertainment value, in your sole judgment, exemplifies the ideals of Killer Breakfast gaming and turn in those names to me at the booth. Winners in each of your games will be given awarded a free-pass to the next Killer Breakfast and guaranteed a place onstage during the game!

For your noble sacrifice of six hours on Thursday and Friday, you will be awarded a free GM pass to the convention AND as a special bonus a pass to the Killer Breakfast of your choice.

The number of XDMs we select will determine the number of tournament rounds we post. Interested XDMs should respond through the forum discussion on this offer.

I'm interested, but not fully committed as of right now.  Is the "Quest for the Tavern" going to be the adventure used?

If Quest for the Tavern is being used then I’d suggest designating sessions either “I’ve read and own the module already” or “I know nothing about it. (and might buy it afterwards)”

That would allow for spoiler free games on one hand and on the other the XDM should alter the adventure enough so that it’s fun for those experienced players , while not being ‘false advertisement’ concerning what the module is about.

I’m probably stating the obvious to all of you, but this only occurred to me now.  There is also the Christmas themed adventure.
