Idea Feedback Needed ASAP - Linked Runs 5 years 11 months ago #37

Tough to keep up with things while on vacation, but wanted to add my two cents.

I like the idea in concept. I would definitely want to participate. But there's the problem. You will likely have more people wanting to do this then you have supply, so be prepared for complaints when a very limited number of people buy out runs and others feel "shut out" of something special. Maybe I'm wrong and demand won't be that high, but it just feels like anything TD related at GenCon sells out quickly. For this reason alone I'd hate to see incentives. It would just magnify anyone feeling left out.

I also worry that if I don't somehow get in on this then TD won't be available to me for the first hour of the day. Its kind of the only significant thing I do lately at Gen Con and would leave a gap in my schedule. But that's just my concern.

I'm new to the forum discussions, but from my point of view doing all three dungeons with the same people would be great. This will be my fourth year and since I am the only one of my group who does true dungeon I am always just picking up a spot.

This would be a great ticket to offer and I would be trying to grab one if this happens.

Not to throw more chaos into the mix but what if we used this as a way to bring back nightmare runs.
We previously had issues because people bought tickets and didn't read. If you buy a ticket worth $234 you're likely to read the description.


As to your original idea, i think its good and will help a certain sector of the populas out.


As to Me personally I try and buy full runs so i can control classes and difficulty. With the cost so high I'm having to consider other options.
Sweet a combat room, we won't take damage!

Jason, welcome to the forum discussions!

Even if this doesn't happen, you might want to think about joining up with groups here on the forums. There are usually some great groups of players looking for another player or two. :)

Thanks for the information Mike. I will look into that.

I like the idea of linked runs but I think it would be easier to pull off logistically at cons with less demand then gencon.

My fear is that the only things that would really move the needle are a price reduction or exclusive swag - and the latter is so fraught with downside I really hope it doesn’t happen.

But something non-exclusive like an extra treasure, or free bag check, might do the trick. Who knows?


I took the "special" to mean, something that happens with that group. Perhaps something that started in the first adventure carries over to the second or third and impacts them.

I definitely think it should not be any kind of bonus swag or special token. If that becomes the case, there will be too many sour grapes from those who are not able to get tickets.

That's kind of how I took it too, some sort of in-game thing to recognize it's the same group doing linked adventures.

I love that idea - something that happens to the group carries on to the next adventure. If on nightmare (S/B only very experienced players) and you die in the middle of the 2nd adventure, you have to stick with the group as a ghost. If they can scare up a remedy between events you can come back alive.
I am definitely against another special token only for those runs.

Could link your life total between events, (meaning you don’t heal between games). And you get a special story arc nightmare pin if secsessfull.

Special rule you don’t die at the 7th room in 1st 2 parts of linked adventure for failure. But would die at the 7th room of the 3rd adventure for failure as normal.

Just a thought.

Welcome Jason to the TD Forums! It's a pretty cool place and you will meet some great folks here. The very best folks.

Now...on feedback to everyone...

First, thanks for all the good ideas and concerns. It does seem like maybe we should try this first at Gamehole Con and PAX South to work out the bumps. Let me think about it and talk to Lori tonight.

Second, we cannot do "one ticket buys all 10 tickets in a group" due to Con rules.

Thanks again. I gotta go...Lori just called "dinner!".

Okay, I talked to the TD Team this morning, and we have decided to shelve this idea until we can try it at a smaller Con first. It is probably best to work out the kinks first -- and not to complicate things this year at Gen Con with all the changes. So...sorry if you are disappointed, but thanks for the feedback.
