Didn't realize it would've disqualified you, otherwise definitely wouldn't have asked. I ended up having plenty of fun for the challenge at another table so no worries. This was my first organized DnD experience, and it was a blast. I really recommend to any aspiring DM to go to an organized DnD event and see other DMs styles. It really helped me pick up on a lot of things that I actually do well, and a ton of things that I can work on. Playing on the other side of the screen really provides some serious insight into what works and what doesn't. And after it all I'm here thinking "Hey, I could actually do this for strangers". Hopefully at next year's PAX East I'll be able to get in at one of your tables and learn a few tips from the champion himself. Or maybe I'll just enter and take you on for the title. Either way, was cool to just say hi. And I stole a peek at your dwarven forge setup, for those of you who weren't there - trust me, it was seriously badass. Congrats on the win.

Either way, was cool to just say hi. And I stole a peek at your dwarven forge setup, for those of you who weren’t there – trust me, it was seriously badass. Congrats on the win.

I think that woulda put him over the top.
