    Sold out Gary Con Legends Tournament! That is five teams of nine players each! Just like the golden age of D&D tournaments. If adventurers still want to sign-up you can click the "Notify Me" button on the event listing below. If there is enough interest we may expand the number of tickets!

    Gary Con Legends Tournament

    Vengeance of the Giants!


    If you have ever wished you could go back in time and play in one of those early classic D&D tournaments now is your chance!

    For those who have never played a tournament, they are open to anyone who knows how to play Dungeons & Dragons (edition really doesn't matter). You have fun playing like any other RPG with the added excitement of seeing which adventuring group accomplishes the most and is the best team in play. You could even win a free badge to next year's Gary Con!

    This will be the inaugural year for the Gary Con Legends Tournament, an annual single-round tournament inspired by legendary tournaments of the past. Each year we will create an all-new adventure that revisits or continues the adventure of an original classic tournament. The same ones that became the legendary TSR adventure modules we know and love. Each new tournament will be designed and even DMed by the TSR legends themselves!

    This year marks the 40th Anniversary of Gary Gygax's legendary Giant Series adventures used as the first Origins Open Tournament in 1978. In recognition, this year's Gary Con Legends Tournament will be: Vengeance of the Giants! An all new adventure trilogy by Paul Stormberg with TSR legends Allen Hammack, Zeb Cook, and Jeff Leason! This adventure picks up where the Giant Series left off and uses characters from the original tournament to clash with a new set of foes.

    This three-part tournament will span a six-hour slot with short breaks between parts. Even if your team does poorly in one part they can make-up for it in the next and, most importantly, no matter how your team does they get to play through all three parts of the adventure!

    Dungeon Masters for the tournament will feature a number of Gary Con veterans! While dungeon master assignment is random, this is a standard, non-featured event and you could end up in a game with one of your favorite TSR designers, like Zeb Cook or Allen Hammack!

    Teams will consist of nine players and will be formed online, complete with pre-generated character sheets, so that when you arrive for your time-slot you and your team will be ready to adventure! Teams will also be formed at a pre-tournament briefing an hour before the slot begins for on site sign-ups. You could team-up with a couple of friends or join some other Gary Con attendees and make new friends! Requests to be with other players on the same team will be handled via email after registration.

    The players of the top scoring team will receive free Silver Badges (or an equivalent credit towards higher badges) to next year's Gary Con!

    Be Legend!

    If my team wins, can I trade my prize for an hour with Zeb Cook talking about Elder Scrolls Online? :p
