TOPIC: WYC Sat (Grind@9AM, Run@8PM): FULL

Raven,

Do you have any idea if WYC Grind is different than GenCon Grind? Or is it basically the GenCon event held earlier?

They were different last year.

It will be a different event.

WYC is a very "laid back" Con for us, so Eric and I have a bit of room for trying out new & different things... like last year's change to the 1.5 hour slots, and the Blink Dogs using their own sliders as a defensive action.

This year we'll keep the the 1.5 hr slots. What we might (or might not) do in the dungeon.... that is our secret

And Eric was downright evil. In a good way, I mean. Don't kill me please...

Thanks for the shout-out(s) cdsmith & Harlax!

Incognito & I are looking forward to providing another grueling (and entertaining!) Grind for WYC.

I haven't heard anything about declaring your difficulty level prior to signing up for Grind. AFAIK it'll be run the same way as last year - we'll have stats for all our levels, and we don't need to know which level you're playing on until we mark it on the Party Card.

Good grief, we are giving the DMs a scouting report by posting our builds. Now we are in for it.

My god you are right!!!!!!!!!!

we must deploy the cone of silence and type in really small font

I'll make room for a Charm of Synergy if I can borrow one.

I'll post my character build in a week or two.

I'm keeping a list of tokens to bring specifically to lend out. I have 3 more Charms of Synergy, one more Charm of Avarice, and as many Charms of Good Fortune as we need. If you need to borrow any of these please let me know and I'll mark you down.

It only makes sense to have a full set of 10 for both CoA/CoGF and Charm of Synergy.

Here is my list so far:

joshua baessler +5 Viper Strike Fang
Aenllan Charm of Avarice
UNINVITED Charm of Synergy
Aenllan Charm of Synergy
cass_christopher Charm of Synergy

Aenllan needs a charm of synergy

Would definitely love to borrow a charm of synergy as well if one is still up for grabs
