TOPIC: Team Synergy GHC Runs NM/EPIC full

Wish list times are in first post.

We have 6 names on the interest list so far.

I'm interested if you get 7:25 or later on Thursday. I'm still open for any of your wish times on Friday.

Elf Wizard preferred, then Wizard

Would there be interest in one of the runs being Epic and the other being 6 Token Challenge?



We did a 7 token challenge ar TDC 17.

How does it work? Each player can use no more than 6 tokens including treasure enhancers and consumables.

So a barbarian might look like

+3 Deathcleaver
Fire Giant Girdle
Charm of Awakened Synergy
Rod of Seven Parts (voucher)
Charm of Avarice
IS Silver Nugget

Druid might be

SRoEC
Boots of the 4 winds
Charm of enlightenment.
Lenses of Divine Sight
Charm of Avarice
IS Silver Nugget

Sure you could not use Treasure Enhancers, but what Munchkin would ever do that?

I'd be willing to do this of course, though I believe that a lot of the challenge of such a run comes from not knowing the puzzles or whatever.

I'm for epic. I'd have to think about the 7 token challenge. Not sure.

I think that is true really for any type of run. Epic runs aren't as epic if you know how to solve the puzzles already. Just my two cents.

Though if you haven't run it on EPIC before, I'm sure there will be different challenges that might come from any failure

Again what failure if you already know the answer to the puzzle?

7 has been done. This would be 6.

But the whole reason for doing the challenge was to provide more challenge than Nightmare was providing. I'm cool if Epic is what people want.

I honestly don't know. Do the puzzle in the dark, with damage or effects on failure?

A Draccus tramples you and you can only use one hand?

Can only speak in palindromes?

Honestly, it was more an idea.

Some of the more physical puzzles can be challenging even if you know how to do them.

Ahhh well there is a difference from making the puzzle harder and making the effects from a failure more punishing is my point. If it is only on a failure that you get a negative effect or take more damage then already knowing the solution doesn't make that failure effect as much of a factor as what it was designed as. Even if was something to make the puzzle more difficult before having a failure there is an advantage to knowing how it is done in the light (vs in the dark). Instead of a group tackling Epic without knowing the answer. That is my point. Whether it be an epic run or a themed run knowing how to solve the puzzles is always going to give you an advantage over a group running the same theme/difficulty without knowing the puzzle.
I am not saying that it invalidates the run in anyway just that is something to keep in mind (whether it is themed or epic).
