TOPIC: Team Synergy 2018 Schedule

Team Synergy 2018 Schedule 6 years 1 month ago #1

Hi, everyone! I’ve already started to get questions about Team Synergy runs at GenCon this year. I thought I’d post a ‘schedule of events’ to help to coordinate activities this year:

April 1, 2018: Initial 2018 Team Synergy email sent to all past participants
April 7, 2018: Participant survey email sent out
April 14, 2018: 2018 Team Synergy T-shirt design posted on forums
April 22, 2018: Participant surveys due (to be included in initial rosters)
April 27, 2018: Tentative GenCon run rosters posted on forums (pending successful ticket purchases)
May 6, 2018: GenCon Event tickets on sale
May 13, 2018: Final GenCon run rosters posted on forums
May 20, 2018: 2018 Team Synergy T-shirt orders/payment due; all GenCon ticket payment due
June 8, 2018: 2018 T-shirts shipped
June 13-18, 2018: Origins 2018*
August 1-5, 2018: GenCon!

*Unfortunately, I will be unable to attend Origins this year, as it conflicts with my daughter’s 16th birthday. Harlax is coordinating Team Synergy runs at Origins this year; you can find more information here !

  • I will be ordering a 2018 Team Synergy t-shirt this year. They’ll be available to everyone at cost—they will be less expensive than the 2017 shirts (since they won’t have the sleeve print). I will be able to ship them to everyone before Origins for those that want to wear them there. Alternatively, I can ship them with your tickets (see below).
  • I’m planning to sponsor all runs this year. That said—I’m always looking for help in grabbing tickets when they’re up for sale. I’m hoping to do four regular runs and a True Grind run again this year; if we want/need more than that, I may ask for help in leading additional runs (as Harlax and others have done in the past).
If anyone has any questions or feedback, please let me know! I’m looking forward to another great year with Team Synergy!

I will also be producing a Team Synergy participation "token" this year.

I love the approach and layout this year! Well applied :cheer:

Mailing the tokens will take out a bit of FOMO too :)

Potential downsides to ticket distribution as outlined.

If someone can't make it at the last minute we will not control who fills the slot or the level of difficulty. We also lose the possibility of ghosting the open spot.

Good point, that is a big risk at Gen Con. If all 10 are not turned in it will go to the wait list.
Classes Played: Barbarian (65 times), Monk (56), Ranger (33), Rogue (25), Cleric (21), Fighter (13), Druid (12), Paladin (11), Dwarf Fighter (10), Bard (7), Elf Wizard (2), Wizard (2)

another factor with mailing tickets is that some weirdos live outside the US so costs would be higher and international tracking/customs is a bad joke

Updated the initial post; I made a minor change to the schedule (to allow more time to finalize rosters), and also removed the notes about mailing the tickets. I appreciate the feedback, especially regarding those that live outside of the US. I will plan to distribute tickets at GenCon again this year; if anyone has any ideas about how to streamline that process, let me know!

The initial email to past participants will be going out very shortly... Looking forward to another great year!

I sent out the survey link to all past Team Synergy participants last night; if anyone should have received it but didn’t, please send me a PM or email!
