TOPIC: GHC run detail from Jeff

Maybe he wants to take fewer trucks to GHC and the Gen Con rooms together would take up too much space?
I heard something about having a very large # of NPC's this year. Maybe they are afraid they won't get enough at GHC so they created new rooms which don't require as many NPC's?

My bet is that one of these three is the real reason.

I think it's a great idea for the Dungeon to have a new room, it might entice people that have already done the Dungeon to do it again to experience the new room. And I'm not touching the XP thing...

Fiddy, I do remember you from TDC. That was very discreet cut and pasting. And I bet you are correct. Logistics.

From what I heard with some of the people from GHC they want to still have a draw for true dungeon even after gencon. A unique room allows for that, the space only really allows for 2 dungeons at the convention center unless they move to a bigger one in madison. That is an option but I think it is a solid choice.

Did someone say logistics...

A different room from Gen Con seems like the kind of thing that would either get people excited to go to GHC or bummed that they will not get to see it. Though if I had to bet I would bet it might be at Origins next year but it is also possible we could have a different room for each adventure there too, but I think that is asking a lot.

I heard there extra room will have a T on the wall and you'll get an extra treasure chip if your party beats it!

This is not true.

I bet the new rooms are just meant to be rewards for people who make it to these smaller cons. Must also make the dungeon more interesting to create and run with some changes.

If there will be a new ones at each of the smaller cons I would think it would make designing more difficult. Instead of 18 new rooms each year Jeff and Co designs it would be 20 or 22 (if Origins has different than GHC). Though Jeff also said something else that makes me think this might just be a one time thing.

I damned him for add two rooms which pretty much makes it so I will have to go to GHC and he said to not blame him but blame Alex Kammer.

Not sure if that is helpful or not but that is all the info I have.

Well, it pretty much makes it so I will have to go to GHC as well, so Alex's diabolical plan seems to be working,

If I knew the same 2 rooms would be at Origins I could skip GHC since it is so much further away, but a present I am thinking I am going. I am going to wait till after GC to make my final decision. Financially Gen Con might make it so it is my only con this year....we shall see.

Yeah GC is expensive. I am thinking about next year already too. Problem is I don't get enough vacation time. I would probably cut Origins if anything since it is the farthest of the 3 for me. I would guess that GHC 2017 will be the same as Origins 2018 but who knows.
