Perhaps get it to me at GenCon? I'm at the airport now...

Next time, I plan to be just as crazy. So buy lots of headstones for room 3!

Turns out we were a bit too crazy... Without our Paladin and Wizard I think we might all have died on the lava woman...

I'm glad nobody was disappointed by our final run (from what I can tell), I don't want anybody to feel pushed into anything. For me it was great to be a bit scared of dying... And rightly so.

When I first set up this group I thought things would fill up more and at best each player would get at most one run and one Grind. So it is unfortunate that we had a mix of people who had and hadn't played yet. Hopefully we kept the puzzles fun for you guys.

I'm up for more craziness at GenCon. I expect to buy out 4-6 runs total. I expect Nightmare Combat at GenCon to be harder than this, not sure that we could do something similar without dying... I might try to set up all 5-man runs. Perhaps a pair of 5-man sealed-pack greed runs?

Happy to get it to you at gencon, ir if we have a trade at some point before. I actually left Indy this morning around 10 had to get back unfortunately

thanks for including me and my newbie barbarian in the WYC runs! They were all great fun, but the steak was even better. I appreciate the token loans, they let me get to almost the end of the grinds. I'm still amazed I lived through the nightmare "almost" sealed pack run. Hail to the spell casters who took out the final room as we stood by and looked on with awe!

No worries on "ruining" the puzzles for me, under the conditions of TD (low light, noise, time limits, etc.) I find most of them to be not very fun......I just enjoy the staging and production of it all.....and the creative ways people use their tokens and powers.....plus the occasional bit of luck when sliding!

That's already been designed.

For GenCon those crazy enough to join will be doing a greedy Nightmare Green run. The rules are as follows.

2015 tokens only.
1 Rare 2015 token.
Any treasure enhancing tokens you wish.
All other tokens are 2015 Common or Uncommon only.

The plan is to push the design of the run each year to the limit and find the cusp of TPK. Take one step from the edge and run there. Join us if you dare

Sounds like a twisted version of fun!

BTW, what was the completion token since I missed getting it before I rushed off?

All runs came with a 200GP Underduck of Doom created by Druegar as a joke previously (image on the forums)

I had a great time on all of my runs, and I thought it was hilarious that on the lava creature I got a warm 20 point hug on my 18 point Rogue right off the bat on this last one. I'd be interested in doing the green nightmare run at GenCon - I think I might stand a better chance of surviving that one.
