The 1st, 2nd, and 3rd place winners of the Iron GM competition at Phoenix Comic Con 2014 talk about Iron GM, their experience at the tables, and give advice about how to be an Iron GM. The Iron GM tournament turns adventure-making into competitive sport and rewards GMing talent with phenomenal prizes. Inspired by three Secret Story Elements unveiled at the show, GMs spend an hour crafting an adventure then run it for players who, in turn, judge them on their performance. Local veterans go on to represent their home town at Regional Semi-Finals. Regional Semi-Final winner are called Iron Contenders, and are sent by their sponsoring conventions to Gen Con Indy (hotel, airfare and a 4 day badge) for FREE to represent their gaming community in the Iron GM World Championship, and for a shot at the Iron GM world title. While all participants at Iron GM events receive prizes – and players have the opportunity to win even more during our halftime show – the top three GMs always win big, walking off with an impressively expensive pile of loot from top RPG publishers. Starring luther Belk, Ben Mandall, Gillian Fraser, & Alban Yvarai
