Accolades

Special thanks to Mythmere. The XDMCs' Third Edition predecessor, the Master Dungeon Master Competitions, were originally his idea, and he certainly got the ball rolling. Additional thanks Fixxxer for continuing the tradition. There would be no Master or Expert DM Competitions if not for his leadership. And even more additional thanks to deadDMwalking, who took over the job of coordinator of coordinators after Fixxxer. He shepherded the competitions from adolescence in to maturity and turned it into the competition it is today. Also, he was a maniac at creating links for these competitions. wrecan shepherded the MDMCs after deadDMwalking's departure until the release of 4th edition, when he founded the Expert DM Competitions. Thanks also to all the people that have coordinated a competition, and those that have judged. On behalf of all those that have gotten any joy from these competitions, I thank you for your hard work and attention to detail. Finally, thanks to all the contestants for submitting your ideas and best work onto a public forum for the benefit of people you've never met and likely never will.
