Well, DarkCon 4 is over, and it seems that I have the dubious honor of wrapping it up online. Everything ended up going well, but we did encounter Murphy's laws in action at every turn. Rather than launching into a long winded article, I have decided to let the DarkCon community at large submit their own reviews online.

Player of the Year Final Standings

DarkCon 4's POTY competition consisted of a 3 round RPGA™ AD&D® module titled "Thief of Dreams." Player character generation rules were posted in the DarkCon 4 convention book so players could construct their own PCs to use with this module. The characters of the top six ranked players have been transcribed for inclusion with this adventure as its permanent pregenerated PCs, for other conventions that may run it in the future.

POTY contestants were ranked by their peers using RPGA™ tournament ranking forms. POTY scores were based on the percentage of total points scored in a round. As posted in the program book, individual player scores were averaged for each contestant's best two rounds. The third score was retained for purposes of tie resolution. POTY Judges were also ranked in a similar manner.

[29 players and 5 judges began competition, with 23 players and 4 judges participating in two or more rounds and thus qualifying for competition rankings. Final player scores ranged from a high of 97% to a low of 35% with an average score for all ranked contestants of 67% (average of high and low scores is 66%). Final judge scores ranged from 97% to 77% with an average of 89% for all ranked judges (87% average of high and low).]

Not that that is all out of the way, here are the top 6 DarkCon 4 POTY winners:
