True dungeon, I'm sorry
Did my first true dungeon this year, and I'm feeling conflicted
Context: I played the werewolf one
The good: the tokens were a lot of fun and I think I might steal the idea for loot in my dnd campaigns going forward. The building out my character was a fun twist and extremely user friendly. The puzzles were well thought out and I enjoyed the way the puzzle room was decorated.
The unfortunate: after running through the game I think the timeframe is too short, one of the people in my group told me she had been in several where they didn't finish the dungeon. Shuffleboard as a battle system is definitely an interesting choice but I can't say too much because I'm not sure what they could replace it with. I feel like there wasn't a lot of difference between the classes, I guess the rogue had a mini game and there was a matching game for the wizard? But both were really only used once the rogue opened a chest and got some loot in the first puzzle room, and the matching game was only used at the end in the final boss room.
The bad: $80!?!? REALLY?? for four rooms? I know there were people who did all 4 of the different dungeons that's $320?? That's not worth it I'm sorry.
My favorite parts: the people in my party were really cool a great mix of new players and experienced players. It was a lot of fun going through it with my friends. I got the werewolf at the end to 6,7 which was probably my highlight 😂.
Conclusion: I did have a really good time playing through the dungeon mainly due to the people we were with. I'm glad I did it but I'm not sure I'll do it again. It just cost way too much, I did kind of felt rushed through the rooms which was sad. There's definitely a good idea here just a rough execution.
That's all, I can understand why people like doing this but it's not just for me. Definitely a one and done sort of thing for me.
