All I can really say about this as a whole is... Wow. Just wow. I feel like a rockstar after that - I landed an excellent group of players and had a blast taking them into the depths of an obsidian mine, to travel through a sacred structure, get personally blessed by their gods, and take on a creature whose CR was five higher than the party level - and come through it victorious and heroic.

And now I'm going to Gencon 2011 to compete in the finals. And it's thanks to four guys who were there having just as good a time as I did - and who want me to run games for them over the 'Net.

Right on.
