After only a few days of registration, the PrairieCon XL D&D Tournament is almost full! Saturday is completely sold out, and there are only ten spots remaining on Sunday (enough for two more teams). If you are hoping to play, don't delay!
Just one final reminder to all of the team captains out there - please email me your team roster prior to the event so that I can ensure that your team gets to play together. If you can't quite recruit the full five members for your team, you are welcome to sign up as a smaller team and we will supplement your ranks with folks who have signed up as individuals. If you have a friend you want to play with, that is fine as well - just let me know, and I will do my best to accommodate your request! No guarantees, of course, because math is a cruel mistress.
Thanks to all of the 40 players who have signed up thus far. I am delighted to see such enthusiasm for the event. If you have any questions, or wish to register a team, please email me at craigdedrick@hotmail.com
As further thanks, please enjoy the last two character portraits by Alyssa Fraser:

Play testing of the D&D tournament scenarios was a smashing success, and I think that our excellent gang of Game Masters will be well prepared to deliver entertaining and challenging games for all of their players. As you can see, the onerous task of printing and assembly is now well underway:
