I don't care at all about if I could get XP or not. I would rather see new stuff and miss out on stuff if it had to be,

I think 3 physical and 3 virtual is within their reach, though I don't have to do anything but speculate.

Maybe VTD happens during the months there isn't a live con?

Or there are 2 separate Td teams, depending on demand.

Yeah I haven't a clue how easy/cheap it would be to have 5 new dungeons that are transported to cons. I do get the feeling that there is less involved in the build of VTD dungeons than there is of physical...but I admit I could be VERY wrong about that.

I would assume so as well.

I mean, if they could do 5 new physical dungeons a year, wouldn't they have already been doing it?

Either way, you and I agree, I hope GHC 2021 and GC 2022 have distinct dungeons.

I hope any dungeons offering XP at GHC will be offered at GC 2022 as well. Can’t justify going to GHC just to get XP.

Find someone with extra xp codes maybe? Then those that make both can see new things!

You mean enter a code for a run I haven’t done? I wouldn’t do that.

I wouldn't care if the XP was exclusive to the Con. You want the XP... go to the Con.

This is completely off topic, but, I kind of wish we could separate the player loyalty program from XP.

XP once per run, and that's it.
Player bonuses are cumulative for every run (ticket?) one does.

I'm sure there are some downsides I'm not thinking of right now.

Tickets can be already hard to come by at certain cons, I would not want anything that would incentivize getting more tickets (that lots of treasure already does). We need new blood and having a fewer people buy more tickets doesn't help that.

I figure if I end up with extra xp cards I'll prolly just give 'em away to people who weren't able to make it to GHC.

This seems like a dangerous trap with how much some folks complain about when they see XP codes up for sale.

I have to agree with the prior poster that new content trumps xp for me.

I'd be surprised if they start creating new Dungeons for different conventions, just because of the added effort, cost, and time involved. Having the same dungeons with tweaks to add a bit of new content is working well. I do wonder how many virtual dungeons we'll get per year once all the conventions are full go again.

Hopefully not very many. My wallet won’t be able to take it.

A good solution to this would be to offer the GHC as a virtual dungeon sometime after the con so people who can’t go could get the XP.
