TOPIC: How many runs did you do at GENCON?

One run of Ebony, but I was a DM in Feast each day, kind of limited my time to play. Still had a ton of fun

5 this year. 2 Felurian's, 1 Weird Magic, and 2 Ebony Bay all with Team Synergy (Thanks again Brian!). More than normal, but I felt like I needed to make up for lost time.

Ditto to all of this. Were you on my EB run?

My group also played Dark Wyvern. It was really awesome! We escaped with 3 minutes to go.

My group of 8 played each adventure once. We never run the same dungeon twice. I'm 150xp away from level 8.

We also played a bunch of board games, escape room, had a Magic draft at our con house and drank a lot of beer.

It was my 10th Gen Con and it was great, can't wait for next year.

Special thanks to Schwade, jedibcg, Lynthia and star1star2!

I went on a DDA run at 726, I believe?

This was my wife and I's first year doing TD, so we only did 1 run together. I think next year, my goal will be to do 2 or 3 runs since I probably won't be working anything next year like I did this year.

Nice! I think we finished with 15 minutes left... we did use up our 3 hints though. I had not done a 90 minute escape room before -- that was a great length.

Zero.

Except that's not true.

I volunteer at a booth, and usually they try to snag a whole run for members to participate in, but due to the rather daunting cost that would be this year (rather than the 'sealed' runs of previous years at a lower cost), it was passed upon.

Then, while demo'ing games, a friend walked up and asked if I wanted to be in a run.

I made sure that disappearing from dinner plans wouldn't throw anything askew, and said yes.

Oh and also it was my first Nightmare run ever.

And first time not playing as a Wizard.

Did I mention that I left my tokens at home, because I didn't expect to be playing?

So, my updated/corrected answer is 1, Ebony Bay, and it was an absolute blast. The crew I joined with was top notch, geared out heavily, I was quickly set up with a kit I didn't remotely deserve access to, and made it my mission to puzzle and combat my heart out, and ideally make some members of the party and coaches/monsters laugh. Also, being tall proved useful for 2 of the 3 puzzles, but the last one was in the hands of our wizard, who had it sorted out in (to me) record time.

It was an awesome adventure, I survived with 6 hp remaining, and I hope to sneak another round in next year, in whatever form that might take.

Lesson learned: if attending Gencon, always bring your tokens. Even if you don't expect to use them. Yes, Customs agents will have questions. Do it anyways.

Five

First time doing a True Dungeon.

I did one run with some friends and we completed Weird Magic on Normal. It was a blast! The final boss/actor continued to try electrocuting our Bard, but he resisted all but one. I thought everyone loved bards? lol
