Greetings all,

Here is our sponsor list for Team Synergy 2014:

Quip (2-3 Runs)

Fizzikx (1 Run)

If anybody else would like to sponsor any runs please send me a PM. This year's run filling format will likley be handled on a first come first served basis.

Lastly, thanks again to everybody who has made these runs an amazing experience for all throughout the past two years! We are looking forward to seeing everybody again in 2014!

Thanks for setting this up again. I will be interested in doing both combat versions again this year once I know my volunteer schedule.

I'm in (also vol schedule permitting), team synergy rocks

I'm there!

schedule permitting.

I'm after both puzzles and the airship combat, or any really

Count me in, once again! The Synergy runs have been great the last two years.

Yes, please include me in your runs this year. I'm sure I'll be available for at least 2 or 3 of them.

To be clear, are we requiring charms of synergy and good fortune?

Typically I have left this decision to the individual run sponsors, however, the rule of thumb is typically "Synergistic Items are encouraged, but not required".


I personally have 10 Charms of Good Fortune and 1 Charm of Synergy - therefore anybody running with us will benefit while I will need help achieving the full hit point bonus. I dont dissuade players from joining because I am able to provision them to some extent, and most of our sponsors are of a similar mindset.

If you play to have a great time, then you'll love Synergy Runs. If you play for a great challenge, then you'll love our NIGHTMARE runs.

Bottom line: Synergy Runs are awesome and I've not had one complaint yet (in 2 years!).

Also a note about how Team Synergy will be operating this year:

In the past I have managed all event rosters initially (through means of a survey) and then handed over management of the runs to whoever sponsored the run (purchased all ticket slots).

Due to past experiences, however, this year I will be coordinating run schedules with the Run Sponsors (so we dont overlap) and once we are set the Sponsors will be managing their own rosters and forum posts.

I will try my best to keep a single forum thread with links to all runs and will attempt to update openings, however, if you wish to be added to a run please contact the run sponsor directly. There will be instructions posted at the beginning of each run's forum thread.

What this means to you? Within a week or two of May 18th we will be posting all Team Synergy runs on the forums. We will be filling these slots on a first come first served basis. So:

1) Keep an eye out for my main post.
2) Send PMs (or emails) to run Sponsors with event IDs and times/days for events you wish to book
3) Please be prepared to remit payment within 30 days of signing up for a Synergy Run - Failure to do so will result in a loss of your seat on that run (unless you have worked out something with the sponsor)
4) Have fun! Discuss builds, strategies, etc.

Cant wait to see everybody in August!

Final Thoughts:

I also want to possibly reserve a slot or two per run for volunteers - we love you guys and without you this wouldn't be possible. Details to come on how we will be accommodating you guys.

Thanks again from all of us at Team Synergy!

I have heard so much about the team synergy runs and all the fun people have on them. Count me in for some runs. I will be bringing a newbie friend with me this year so I guess that is 2 down for a couple of runs.

Fizzikx if you need another sponsor I would be willing to sponsor a run.

I would also suggest including in PMs to sponsors whether you have the synergy and good fortune charms. Many groups will have loaners available, but it's good to know for planning purposes.
