Did I completely miss tickets for True Grind at GHC or is there none?

There WILL be True Grind at Gamehole Con.

Just finalizing the details with Jeff.

Here are some PRELIMINARY times I have suggested (based on Raven and my schedules). These may or may not differ from the final times, once they are officially listed in the Gamehole database:


FRIDAY

5 PM - 6:30 PM
6 PM - 7:30 PM
7 PM - 8:30 PM
(BREAK)
9 PM - 10:30 PM
10 PM - 11:30 PM
11 PM - 12:30 AM


SATURDAY

12 PM - 1:30 PM
1 PM - 2:30 PM
2 PM - 3:30 PM
3 PM - 4:30 PM



So right now we are looking at 6 runs on Friday, 4 on Saturday. For better or worse, there is a fair amount of overlap with the main dungeon (which is Friday 2-9 PM, Saturday 12-7 PM). I think the 3 Friday evening runs would be the only ones outside that range.


Since it will just be Raven and I, and we won't have a dedicated player coach, we are thinking of offering an special challenge *option* - the TEN TOKEN CHALLENGE, where you enter the Grind with just 10 tokens of your choice.

The main logic behind that is that it makes player coaching a lot easier and quicker.

It would only be an option, so you could still do a typical Grind with all your tokens.

Given that a lot of smaller con runs are pick-up-games (PUGs), I'm not sure how viable the Ten Token Challenge would be if it has to be a party decision. But we thought we'd float the idea and see how receptive people might be, before deciding whether it merits further consideration.

Any thoughts?

That challenge would be fun! Would you include consumables in that number?

Nope.

It's basically a challenge designed to make Coaching easier. Consumables don't go on the Party card.

Unless we're talking about conumables like Runestones or Potions of Vitality - those would count (as they are calculated into the player stats)

Awesome! I was thinking there wouldn't be, so that is a pleasant surprise.

TEN TOKEN CHALLENGE

I love the idea of token restrictions in runs. Would this be its own difficulty, or in addition to whatever difficulty is selected?

I like the idea of theb10 token challange.

Question, would this grind be storyline similar to either of the two that have already happened this yes or is it going to be something new.

Follow up, will things like AoW effect be the same as gencon

If I can find 10 people that want to do the 10 token challenge I would be down for it. Well and a time that fits everyone's schedule. Anyone interested want to start a thread and we can see if we can work something out?

I could do late Friday. I could do anytime on Friday. I only have 1 run scheduled on Saturday.

I would be interested in the 6-730 on Friday. I have already filled up the rest of my con with gaming goodness :-).

Cool! Additional True Dungeon slots being added for Gamehole Con?

Would not be cool if they replace existing slots where people already have tickets and have no desire to do a True Grind version unless the True Grind run can be vetoed by a single player.
