Over the last several years Neden has done an amazing job of serving our community in various forms, often involving charities and merry making.
The Neden BBQ is a fine example of that, being held on a nostalgic site to the realms, where many a war has been fought, there is a lot of history there.
I think it was Temorse that coined the term camp chair tournaments, for me, but the Neden BBQ is a great example of that, everyone coming out, setting up chairs, and engaging in some wonderful, casual competition. While it’s not the only activity to have made an appearance in past BBQs, it’s a staple.
Other activities, including, but not limited to, cornhole, the tournaments of sobriety, and poker.
A favorite of mine that I hope to see an epic return, would of course be Judge Dresden. A game where crime always wins. Or finding clever ways to bribe the judge. I love this tournament, as it shows a truly unique, and interesting culture within Neden.
Lastly, I want to say I’m excited to find out what the prize table will have this year. In previous years, it has done really well to outshine many of the prizes in the realms, and is kind of a great well kept secret. With anything from in house magic items, to unique, but mundane weapons, to superb crafts, and just wonderous trinkets. The prize table never disappoints.
I hope that does well to shine some light on why I’d want to go to Neden BBQ, and hopefully we’ll see you on the field!
