Some time ago we were bouncing around the idea of holding some special events for VDP. At the time I said that I'd been working on an article about special events that might be of some use in planning VDP's events. FWIW, that article appears in the current issue of ISD, just released today. Perhaps something there might be of worth. It would be nice to see VDP's plans for special events come to fruition.

I agree we need to try and have one or two "big" VDP games per year to go along with the weekly games. The only issues I can see right now are when will the game(s) be, whether there will be some special format/scenario/setup to give the events uniqueness, and what someone might win. It would be cool if there was some sort of "E-trophy" one could win for capturing a VDP big game. For me personally it would be something very new as I've never participated in any sort of DP tournament and don't know any of the ins and outs of tournament play.

Well, Fall & Winter are usually better times, why dont we plan one for around Nov & around Feb? No one has to travel for these games, which makes the organization much easier. I say we just pick a weekend & go from there.
Wingman tournament or a campaign tournament are two different ideas that could be fun me thinks...

My suggestion for prizes would be quality headsets with boom mics. We need to get people to start talking and doing less typing in VDP!

That is actually a great idea. We've found that people generally like a prize that is symbolic of the event (in our case, the Victory Medal or Silver Goblet) and a practical prize, too... like dice or a free pass to Gen Con or a book. A headset and mic would be a perfect compliment to, say, a winner's certificate and a cup or something.
