TOPIC: No Sunday Runs at GENCON 2017

You lil' whippersnappers can stay up all night if you want to, but at my age, sleep is precious.
And get off my lawn!!

For some background, my GENCON pretty much revolves around TD. I play 3 runs with friends on Thurs-Saturday each year and then take my family of 4 on a run on Sunday during Family Day. Just having more runs on the other days really does nothing to help me. School in Indiana starts the first week of August, so bringing my boys to GENCON before the weekend isn't an option.

The best I could do now to try to get back to parity with prior years for my family would be to buy 3 additional day passes (and get a refund on the Family day pass -- $120 increase in my costs) and then HOPE to be able to get tickets on Saturday for all of us while competing with all the added competition from everyone else who can only attend on the weekend.

Again, just seriously disappointed. Hopefully you reconsider in planning future GENCON events as my sons really do love playing TD.

If you are in range of Columbus, Ohio, TD is now at Origins. At this point there are a lot of tickets available for TD. Since its mid June, school should not be a factor.

Another consideration - if they are looking for experience for their account they cannot get that from Origins and only get it from True Dungeon.So no point going to Origins if you want experience points.

are you sure about this, I thought(i am sure someone has it bookmarked somewhere) that you can get experence if you run the dungeons at other cons and have not run them before (so if you only go to Origins you get it, but if you go to GC,GHC and origins, you only get it from one place)

I think the part relevant to choosing another con instead of gencon to gain xp is: gencon is the first time new xp is available for the year. So, if you want gencon 2017 xp, going to origins in 2017 wont help...BUT, if TD is at origins in 2018, that would let you get the 2017 gencon xp*.

*note: this is how things currently work, while i expect this trend to continue, there is no guarantee that it will.

No longer true. Jeff just posted the 5th level rule is no more.

as a thought... since there are no sunday runs, would it be possible to have extended hours for treasure draws or transmutation on the sunday?

that could take some pressure off during the rest of the weekend, say do draws and transmutes before and during the riddle reveal.
