John,  

That was before my time. The interactive we are running is a  
convention/public-play only event. And to get the interactiveness, you need  the amount 
of tables we are having at Gateway (10+). We offered 3 round events  at the 
last two conventions that last from 9 am until 11 pm for our EPIC play  
(levels 21 and 22) that drew people, but these were events anyway could play  
anywhere. The RPGA has gone to a mostly open-play model to get as many players  
all over the world to play. There is no more region-specific play. 

Also, there is no real competition or reward game offered this year that  
we could offer at the convention. They have the D&D championships yearly,  
but that is a Gencon-only event. That is one of the reasons we brought Iron GM 
 to Gamex. We crowned a champion last weekend that will be representing us 
at  Gencon in August.

Bottom line, the interactive we are offering in addition to all the new  
content we will have for September will be a big draw, but there is no  
Gateway-only 3-part event that we could offer from the RPGA.

Mickey,

Back in the 90's, I used to get some RPGA adventures that were 3 part and  
made specifically for the convention. With the current format (i.e. 
politics)  of the RPGA, would it be possible to get something like that for our  
conventions? We could have a 3 part adventure with Part 1 running Friday  
night, Part 2 Saturday afternoon, and Part 3 on Sunday morning, then have an  
award ceremony Sunday night for the best players (who solved the problem best,  
who was voted best player at their table the most, whatever).

just seems to me with what I've seen that this would be a real special  
event for RPGA players and put our cons on their radar just for these  events.

John

Special Event from the RPGA department:  

LFR Battle Interactive: ADCP3-2 From Dawn Till Dusk
Netheril has taken over Spellgard – Saharelgard,  as they name it now – 
and are controlling its oracle, the lady Saharel. With  reinforcements on the 
way, soon the pass will be closed and the secrets of  the fortress are 
theirs. Only a 12 hour window is left to liberate Saharel  and prevent the Shades 
from achieving a major victory. A Living Forgotten  Realms 2-round 
continuous-play battle interactive set in Netheril for  adventurers of level 1 - 20. 
This adventure is combat-intensive. It is  recommended that at least three 
of the characters be members of the same  Adventuring Company.

I would change the title to Battle of Midway  "Monster"  Game or some such

Battle of Midway. This event will be a double blind  using the General 
Quarters rules in 1:700 scale. Each force will have a  central command area that 
will be plotting ship and scout movement, Fleet  command who will control 
fleet formations and defense, and Air Marshall  who will control the air 
attacks. This will be a true double blind event  with special guest Lonnie 
Gill,the designer of General Quarters.
