Hi,

I'm looking for information on the D&D Open module tournament from Gen Con 1990. I'm looking for the title, author then whether it was ever published by TSR.
Related I'm looking for a picture of the winning team. (I was on it - but can't find the photo anywhere - in Dragon or Polyhedron.)

Thanks much!

Thanks much Stratochamp!

If anyone has an idea where the pic resides I'd appreciate the guidance. (I've looked in Dragon/ Polyhedron after the con and haven't been able to locate it!).

Nick do you know for sure that a picture was published?

I’m pretty sure there was a published pic. I remember it - as does a friend who was on the team. I scanned Dragon and Polyhedron after - but haven't found it. Maybe it appeared in the following year’s Gen Con program?

It was a picture of me, plus the rest of the winning team of us holding the 1st place plaque. I recall those as does one of the guys who won. I have a feeling it must have appreared in either a gen con program book or a dragon / polyhedron published many months after.

Thank!
