If you’re not already on the team, sign up! If you win, you could always give away the gift card

This starts tomorrow. Please join if you haven’t already, as it is a direct contribution to science!

Minor Update to the OP - I changed the Folding@Home participation to 30 Work Units instead of points. This should help make it easier to complete the requirement, as you won't need a passkey, and just set and forget the client.

Hello! My partner introduced me to True Dungeon/Gencon and I thought this would be a good time to introduce myself. I haven't played yet but I will, though it seems I picked the worst year for it. In the meantime I'm very happy to participate in these forums and I love when gamers get together and use our overpowered PCs for the greater good, so I joined your giveaway too!

I'll be seeing you around!

Welcome to the team! You're going to have a fantastic time once we can actually play True Dungeon again. In the meantime you should be able to get your participation numbers up where they need to be by the end of the month to take part in the drawing. I'm just about there already, and my computer was just barely high end when I last swapped out the parts three years ago.

Welcome to the Forums and the game. You will most likely be as hooked as the rest of us once you actually do get to play. What is your favorite class to play?

Welcome to the Forums and to True Dungeon Grinth. You will find it a great and giving community. I really enjoy it. Once you have played and get the experience points you will find volunteering great also.
