[net.games.frp] 1. Tournaments

I'm very interested in hearing about  anyone's  experiences  with
convention  scenarios or tournaments, especially if they involved
the  Champions  rules  system.   There  seems  to  be  almost  no
literature  available  on  how  to run a scenario well within the
restrictions of a convention  (primarily,  time),  but  I'm  sure
there  are many netters out there who've attended conventions and
have likes or dislikes about what happened.  I'm hoping to run  a
scenario  between  two  and  six times at Origins 85, and my only
experience at  national  conventions  was  running  a  X-Men/Teen
Titans  team-up  at Origins 84, which was successful (the players
seemed to enjoy it, and that's what counts), but could have  been
more so.

So if anyone out there has opinions on how or how not  to  run  a
role-playing  scenario/tournament  at  a convention, let me know.
If you think it's of general  interest,  post,  otherwise  either
send it to me via USMail or send it to uokvax!lmaher and it'll be
printed out and mailed to me eventually.  When I return to uokvax
in  the  Fall  I'll  summarize and post, if anyone cares by then.
Many thanks to all, and I hope to see some of you at Origins!
