Why do you run the same dungeon more than once?

I run once with a pug group and then once with my group.

I like seeing the dungeon with folks I don't know and see how we work together as a group. I also like to know what is in store for my group to optimize our enjoyment. I also like to know the answers to the puzzles and some puzzles it takes a couple times through to figure out.

Have fun

My wizard did that once!

I would often try to do combat and puzzle versions of each dungeon to see all the rooms, but since we won't be having that anyone, I doubt I will run any dungeon more than once - just not enough time with my vol schedule.

Why is it always my fault, the bard didn't even make a lore check?

I echo Dave’s reasons. I to be honest, I think I played last years adventures (ignoring puzzle vs combat runs) maybe 15+ times each! I find it enjoyable in every group. I try to not give away solutions, I even prefer to take the push damage then to spoil the puzzles.

Sometimes I do different classses, but I generally stay with (in this order) Rogue, Monk, Paladin, Elf Wizard, Dwarf Fighter, Barbarian, Bard... wow! That is more tdifferent classes than I thought! But 90% of time, maybe, I am in the first three classes.

And, the treasure is definitely nice!

Hey, I mentioned no names. No need to confess.

Same reasons here, it’s not like TD can give me 8 different dungeons every year, otherwise I would play 8 different dungeons.

I really enjoy the challenge of running on different difficulty levels so I may do the same Dungeon on all of the difficulty levels just to see how different it turns out

Couldn't have said it better!

The multiple classes is a big one for me to keep things fresh from run to run. I have started playing more of a variety the last couple years.
