If you are a Blackmoor and Dave Arneson Fan you will want to take a look at this excellent article by Jon Peterson over at his Playing At The World blog.
Some great Dave Arneson info over at the Playing at the World blog.
Dave Arneson's Origins 1977 Tournament
Dave Arneson's Origins 1977 Tournament
Jon Peterson starts off by saying:
The Dungeons & Dragons tournaments run at the 1970s Origins conventions are the stuff of legends: there was the Tomb of Horrors (1975), the Expedition to the Barrier Peaks (1976), and then the famous Against the Giants trilogy (1978). So... what happened in 1977? TSR boycotted Origins that year, and the D&D tournament was thus administered by a recently-departed employee: Dave Arneson. Today, we will look at that tournament through contemporary reports of players and a few surviving play artifacts -- like this list of the twelve pre-generated characters who made up the tournament party.

I will likely update this post with some comments, in a couple of days once I have had a chance to read it a few times.
