And they do serve a fine breakfast sandwich at Whataburger.  That's where we went last year, at around 2 am, after waiting for 30 minutes at Denny's for a glass of water.  

I remember very well the Denny's debacle. Sometimes the joy in finally eating is the journey itself.

OK, just emailed my event description to Doug.

Game Title: Eye of the Dragon
Game System: AD&D 1e
Number of players: 5-8
Pregens/Level of characters: yes / 5th~7th
World/Setting: Generic

Game Info: After five long years fighting abroad in the armies of Lord Cargathain, you are finally returning home to Castle Nagasheen, to claim the promised reward for your service.  But you find Seahold in ruin, and the castle barred against you, an unknown enemy within.  The castle should have been impregnable . . . how could it have fallen?  Armed with a five-year old map, you must enter the castle, defeat the enemy, and unmask a traitor . . . who may be closer than you ever expected!

Additional Game Information:  In the late 1970s, Tracy and Laura Hickman published two modules, Pharaoh and Rahasia, under their imprint Daystar West.  Both modules went on to be published by TSR after Tracy joined the company.  But the long-planned sequel to Pharaoh and Rahasia, Eye of the Dragon, was left unfinished.  Finding the original notes last year, the Hickmans finally released Eye of the Dragon in a very limited run, and this is your chance to play this "lost adventure"!

2015 NTX Event List
Bill Barsh / Pacesetter Games & Simulations


Fifth Annual AD&D Open Tournament
Game Title: TM6 Felhorde  (AD&D Open Tournament)
Game System: First Edition AD&D
Number of Players: Eight (8)
Pregens/Level of Characters: 3rd -- 5th; Provided
World Setting: Darkland
Time Needed: Four (4) Hours
Sessions: Wednesday (afternoon [ approx.  p.m.]), Thursday (noon), Friday (morning slot)

Short Description: Amidst the horrific carnage, Eruptor, the red dragon, lay dead. The race to recover the dragon's treasure was on and a group of heroes penetrated the lair only to find most of the treasure already stolen. A group of crag gnomes fled into the deep, loaded with a dragon's horde, as the adventurers, battered from their ordeal, fled the trap-filled lair. As the PCs camped and recovered, a rush of wind extinguished their fire. Before it could be relit, a flame streamed from the darkness and the fire pit blazed with light. In its glow, the red dragon, Eruptor, growled and spoke. His message is simple: find his treasure or die trying. The adventurers must pursue the crag gnomes into the deep chasms to their underground world.
       This is a single round event -- only register for one session. There are prizes for each team, based on finish.


B2 Beyond the Caves of Chaos

Short Description: The caves of chaos have been cleansed but an intriguing tunnel was found in the process. Seemingly blocked to bar access, the tunnel plunges deep into the earth. Just inside a black, marble obelisk rests in the center of the passage. A single ruin -- the mark of the dread archmage Hilgdred -- is the only mark upon the obelisk. Of what concern can the storm wizard have within the deep.

Hey all,

Can anyone provide additional detail about the Marriott with respect to the Airport - is a car needed or is it a walk?

I'm trying to get out there - it's a long shot - and I'm trying to gather the financials...

Thanks!

The Marriott is right south of the airport, about five minutes away, and there is a complimentary shuttle that takes you there and back, you cannot walk from the airport.  No need for a car once you arrive, all the events are at the hotel and eating establishments are withing walking distance.
