In 2013 our plans call for us to add an additional adventure to the event. There will be two consecutive adventure modules, and each module will have two variations of either a combat or puzzle orientation. The first module called “Lycans Afoot” tasks the party to travel through a dark forest in search of a tower, while the second module called “Golembane” challenges the party to reach the top of tower.

TOPIC: Verification of +treasure pull items (Suggestion)

Verification of +treasure pull items (Suggestion) 10 years 9 months ago #1

From last year we had to show our Ring of Riches and Horn of Plenty at the prep room last year and when the dungeon was done the people that were giving out treasure tokens asked us again for our Ring of Riches and Horn of Plenty. I see this as something that can be improved with just a slight modification in process.

I know that the party sheet has been updated to show a box with the number of CoGF, it also has RoR, and AoW/HoP spots on the sheet. So we can record this at the start of the run, and then once those area's are done, just have the coach sign the sheet take and cover the rows with RoR/CoGF/AoW/HoP with a piece of scotch tape. That way no one can adjust it without putting a lot of effort into it, and it will allow the people at the end to take the sheet, and just give out tokens and experience without having to recheck +treasure items.

I believe this will help out the XP/treasure desk alot since they have 12 minutes between groups and up to 10 people to record and distribute stuff to, where as the coach will have 24 minutes with the group and is already doing all the work except signing and taping.

A alternative to the taping would be some sort of stamp that could go over the little squares that show RoR, CoGF (individual and total) and HoP/AoW so you could stamp each one showing it was verified.

Just my .02 to make things easier.

Those people that do that aren't the ones that slow the process down. The ones that have to go back and dig through their tokens to find it again are the ones that slow the process down. I'm just trying to make it where those people don't slow the rest of the XP/Treasure process down and make it harder on them. One random variable that can be removed always makes a process flow better especially if it's a +time add variable.

During training, coaches are instructed to remind players they will need to show their treasure-enhancing tokens again at the XP desk after the adventure.
Have you looked it up in the TDb ?

If there's really a desire to get it down to a single check, and were not going with the honor system like so much else in TD we could always go with a hole punch of some kind but honestly I think the current system works fine.

What impact will parties with CoGF have? Does the total for the entire party have to verified first? After all, if the count Is off that impacts the whole party.

Not to mention those of us running with Kurt and his artifact...

I think all the artifacts need a laminated card with the info on it. Is it Kent's or Kurt's that gives everyone AoW affect correct? That one is going to cause a issue at the XP/Treasure desk for sure.

...So your saying that this artifact gives your party AoW affect? Ok so it's a horn of plenty... got it... your wearing a HoP already?? Well they don't stack.... Um Jeff says they stack? So that's double horn of plenty??? so...18 (Double Hop) + 3 RoR + 4 10 charms....+1 for 6th... 26 tokens...
