[Living_Greyhawk] Re: DDXP High Level Game Cancelled!

This has nothing to do with having enough judges (I had it staffed
full every time it ran and now I have to adjust people last second)
or anything else I can control. The adventure was not done in time.
I am not going to go into details as that is not my place with this
campaign anymore.
