The official Dungeon of GenCon IX 2nd Edition (by Bob Blake) is divided into two parts: A Preliminary Round and a Final Round.
The preliminary round is for 3 6th level characters and two 7th level characters. This is for OD&D. Several times he references the difference between the way it was run at Gencon and the way this module is presented. For instance at GenCon each monster's first 10 to-hit rolls were included to save the judge time. Here they are not included because he writes "What DM doesn't like to roll dice?"
There is a three page summary for the players, 2 pages of DM notes, 1 page equipment list, 5 pages of DM rules that last of which states "NO DIVINE AID IS AVAILABLE", 9 page room key, 1 map page, 1 materials allowed sheet, 1 combined encumbrance/treasure/monster kill sheet, 1 hit point sheet, 1 spell notes sheet, 1 time record sheet, 5 character sheets, 1 mage spell list and 1 cleric spell list along with the cover page for a total of 34 sheets. The characters are charged with going to a castle and bringing back the Staff of Albalon. They have to defeat a 36 HP Blue Dragon at the end to succeed. If they open the wrong door near the end however they will run into a 105 HP Purple Worm which will probably kill them.

Ouch...  That's not very nice  

Thanks Stratochamp for the info.  Sounds like a tall order for those characters.

Hey chaps.

Bill? Thanks for prompting me to look here. One word....fantastical. one thing i have always liked in life, is presentation. You have nailed it.
Mate, it is truly an archive to be proud of.

I remember us chatting about this way back in 2007 and you have exceeded what would have been my expectations at the time.

Well done my friend

Best, Al

Now that you describe it, and the final round, they sound familiar to me. I’ve got records showing me having a copy pass through my collection in 2005, a few months after I bought City of the Revenant, so right at the beginning of my collecting phase. It may well have been this that lead me to buying the Judges Guild release, then buying up other JG stuff, and from there to exploring other publishers, in particular the small and obscure press stuff, and that whole non-TSR D&D bailiwick. I had completely forgotten that this existed. I may or may not still have my copy. I don’t know. I’d have to go digging through boxes in storage to find out.

It was great getting to spend time with you and your lovely wife and talk about D&D collecting for 5 hours. Hard to believe that the prior time we met was GenCon 2007. Please stop by again when you're in the area!

It was great to stop by, as always!  Glad to introduce you to my wife and daughter.  I wish we had some more time but we can always make this happen again in the future.  Always happy to make future digitization trips as needed as well.
