Let's start a pool on room number for the TPK.

I predict room 5.

and whats wrong with room one?

I expect some room GMs to take this as a challenge to tpk

I predict which ever room is the second combat. So lets say room 3.

I expect the consumables will be used up by then. I forget If you can bring in fallen stars, but since the runs are on Sunday, I anticipate that many stars will have already been used during the weekend.

Given the rules: 2015 commons and uncommons and 1 rare, we aren't even likely to have a Golden Toadstool or a Mystic Mushroom. Chew on that.

We are *so* dead.

As I understand it, with the Green with Envy run we are allowed unlimited 2015 consumables (doesn't violate the 1 rare rule) although I think that should be amended regarding the Mystic Mushroom (should only be allowed if you take it for your 1 Rare). Let's discuss it in our thread.

Good luck!

Thanks, Jeff! I think that is the perfect approach.

Shortest retirement ever? (Thankfully!!)

I wish it were the case, for sure. Yesterday was nostalgic for me as I read posts about getting tickets and filling runs. I can't even express the feelings I had as I thought about years of the ticket rat race and setting up time to spend with good people at TD. But alas, not this year.

Sharpen those swords, and practice those spells, and make sure you have a healing potion ready.

Gotta go--I just found out my son just got home from Afghanistan.

Yes, write a song about it and sing it to us next year!

Glad for both of you! Here's hoping his transition back into every day life is smooth and happy.

I'm just hoping the difficulty of normal is bumped down. There was one coach who had his puzzle routinely dealing 16 points of damage upon entering the room and again per incorrect attempt. I tried to include a complaint about him at the end of last year, that really soured my group's experience.

Was it the last room or second to last? I haven't run normal in a long while but it was pretty standard for the last couple puzzles to be insta-death on wrong selection. I wonder if they switched unescapable death (short of a savior stone) to just a high damage number which is avoidable if you have the right equipment/prep.
