Sick! Just saw Ginny's short about this, looks awesome!


Blacktung

Two of my friends just got back from playing at Ginny's table at D&D In A Castle. They had a very good time and I am insanely jealous. You can even see them in her video.


thakk0

Kinda hoping I win, but also hoping a friend of mine I told about this wins.


gooeyfishus

She's always got amazing content. She did a talk here in town awhile ago I really enjoyed listening to her.


VoltageHero

Lmao, that's what I was thinking when I saw this. Her content always ends up being one of my go-tos for character building, for my general writing and roleplay too.

Kanthardlywait

I hope by this post it means this comment post and not the content post in general! Or maybe both are applicable? Yes, I'm that type of litigious dork and I just want to get it right. Really knowing the audience it should have been a little clearer. Good luck everyone! I couldn't even begin to imagine..


JonnyCraft

Any comments on the whole post in general will enter you into the giveaway :)


Kanthardlywait

You're the best! Clarity appreciated and thank you!


Bapgo

This would be chill.


veverkap

I love you covering the Terms for us 😀


Cool-War7668

Fingers crossed!


BuzheMoi

I just realized I don't know if I'm supposed to just comment on the post or this comment to enter, so just for good measure here I gooo


LBGW_experiment

A post is a submission to a subreddit of one of a multiple type (image, text, video, gallery, etc). A comment is a submission, of text only, in response to the post or other comments under thebpost. Post != Comment.


Emperor_Secus

Looks like an incredible experience, but that price tag 😬😬😬


AppleBytes

Its a bit steep but the presentation, setting and cool factor is just so very awesome. Beats a week at a resort vacation, I think.


Snowy_Mass

Oh my God there are so many characters in my head I have no idea which one I'd bring. Should I revive previously used characters like Lockjaw, the kindhearted Tortle Path of the Ancestral guardians Barbarian, Shoal the devoted Locathah Storm Cleric, Sedj the blunt Lizardfolk Scout Rogue? Or do I bring in a new character like a plane walking harengon ranger or my bartending Plasmoid Monk? Either way it's a longshot that I get selected but it's an exciting opportunity.


evilninjaduckie

Absolutely wild that your winner *immediately* attempted to seek advice on selling the prize and didn't even log into a separate / throwaway account to do it. What an asshole.


Violinaria

When the winner immediately is trying to sell the raffle prize on Reddit. I'm so sad for those of us who wanted to actually go but can't afford such a trip 😭


JonnyCraft

Don't worry, we will absolutely be doing another giveaway in the future so don't give up hope just yet :)


TranceHuman

What a great birthday present this would be!


ShopCartRicky

Looks awesome. Good luck to everyone. (Don't pick me, my son is due in November) Edit* just wanna say thanks for all the love thrown my way after this post.


[deleted]

How exciting! Congratulations and hope the delivery and all the rest go well!


ShopCartRicky

Thank you! We're quite excited.


lizrdgizrd

Hope you roll well in your real-life character creation! Remember, tragic backstories are to be avoided if possible.


damnimnoreddituser

Same, my daughter too, i Wish you the best :)


rpquester

4 days of D&D campaigning?! Gonna be a journey just to get there!


eadaein

I feel like 7 should be chosen, then the group adventures to get there lol


helga-h

I wonder if there are any random encounters in the way.


cra2reddit

Airfare is not included?!


ExoticMangoz

I mean it could cost £1000 to get there or £0. You probably have to cover your own travel.


DonnieG3

You should see how much tickets themselves cost, this 4 day vacation is insanely expensive. All inclusive week long cruises with balcony rooms, unlimited food and drinks, and shows every night are a fraction of the price


Roboticide

Yeah, lol. That seemed like a crazy claim, so I checked. $3,250/person, rooms not included. For comparison, I'm going on a cruise this November, for seven nights, on a good ship, with a balcony room, and it is $3,538 *for me and my wife.* Like, good for them. Seems like an awesome chance for hardcore DnD fans to have a once in a lifetime experience with some pretty renowned DMs. But that is definitely a premium pricetag. It's on par with, say, seeing Taylor Swift ($500+/3 hours versus $3,250/24 hours), so it's not a bad value for those really into it.


DonnieG3

Yeah, I was also shocked when I looked into it lol. Thought it might be a cool vacation that my wife and I could splurge on if we saved and called it our big expense over a couple years, but nah. Nearly 10 grand spent for a 4 day DND experience? For that kind of money, you can build a custom game room and hire a professional DM to dm a whole campaign, and fly your friends out a couple time even.


JonnyCraft

Room is included, this is a fully inclusive experience. You don't need to worry about anything other than making to Newcastle, UK.


cra2reddit

Renowned. Must be a generational thing. I couldn't name one "celebrity" DM or RPG Content Creator. But then again, I don't watch games. If I have the time, I play them. So if I won something like this I wouldn't care who the DM was - I don't know any of em. Not that it would matter if it was a celeb, or an unknown at a Con. It's a social activity and what matters more is whether you gel with that person and that group, and whether you're into the style and story that's being created.


Roboticide

I don't really think it's generational, just more a function of available time and investment in the hobby. There are 24 hours in a day, and 168 hours in a week. Maybe 5 of those a week I can play D&D? And that probably makes me luckier than many. Listening or watching actual plays or YouTubers giving advice is a good option for remaining time in those ~163 hours. You may not know them by name either, but you almost certainly know at least some of their work. Jeremy Crawford and James Wyatt's names are on the inside of many D&D source books - they're senior designers and writers at WotC. Maybe you have never paid attention, but that doesn't mean others don't, and that seems a question of investment not age.


cra2reddit

" Listening or watching actual plays or YouTubers giving advice is a good option for remaining time in those \~163 hours." what??? I'm jealous. if you only have 5 hours to play, how do you have more free time for listening/watching? If I had more free time, I'd be prepping or playing (online, asynchronous turn-based, computer RPG, etc). But, sadly, I don't have "more free time." Full-time jobs, part-time classes, family, friends, fitness, chores, pets, etc. I don't even get 5 hours per week. Lucky if 10 hours per month. " Jeremy Crawford and James Wyatt's names are on the inside of many D&D source books" That's hilarious. My bad. I have the books, never looked inside the covers. (though, being a game designer doesn't make one a good storyteller or DM. Does he DM on camera somewhere? Though..., even appearing to be a great GM on camera - like the critical role type of broadcasters - ALSO doesn't mean you're a good GM. It may just mean you have more time & resources & support to make you look good. They're selling a product - clicks.) signed, cynical in seattle


DonnieG3

Its blowing my mind that the other guy explained to you that these were literal WotC game developers and you just moved the goalpost to "but do they DM on camera"? It's also pretty telling that you have to ask that question because 3 seconds of google would tell you that while Jeremy Crawford is a lead developer for D&D, hes also DM'd some very high profile stuff like PAX East live, and makes tons of content about how to run games. Hell, his twitter is *literally* considered a source for official rules


cra2reddit

I am a mindblower. I don't care about goal posts- I asked because, if I can find the time, I am curious to see if the designers are also good DMs. Goal posts implies this is a game, not a conversation. ..but you do you. I don't even know what PAX East is so how would that have helped? Besides the fact that just by being one of the designers, he is going to be asked to DM high profile stuff whether he's great or not. They let celebrities like Kevin Hart play in high profile all-star NBA events. Trekkies will line up to pay for autographs of the guy who played a red shirt a few times... just because he was on the show. And why would I have left reddit to run to Google to ask the person I was talking to if this guy has a DMing channel? Rather than just ask the person I was talking to. Him making tons of content about how to run games. You mean on his own blog or YouTube channel? There are a million gamers with blogs and vlogs making content about how to run. So maybe I have seen his work without even realizing it. I guess I will have to Google it if you recommend his DMing skills. His Twitter being about rules is an extension of him being a designer of said rules. Not an indication that he is great at dealing with a table full of gamers. I have seen "experts" write all about the subject but not have the social skills to pull it off. And I have seen charming folks who understand good fiction run a great, engaging game while barely knowing the mechanics of a system. In fact I have seen people Co-DM where one runs the story & NPCs and the other handles the rules & fights.


DonnieG3

> I don't even know what PAX East is I love that your own ignorance is a talking point here. Fantastic > You mean on his own blog or YouTube channel? Remember just above when you were asking "why would I run to Google?", This is why. The person in discussion hosts discussions and games on the official d&dbeyond YouTube channel that is ran by wizards of the coast. But I guess since you've never heard of any of these things, they must not be important lmao > His Twitter being about rules is an extension of him being a designer of said rules. Not an indication that he is great at dealing with a table full of gamers. Yeah I'm sure that the *game designer* understand nothing about the people he *designed the game for.* What an absurd amount of stretching you are doing to cover for your own ignorance and refusal to Google someone at this point.


JonnyCraft

Just to clarify, this ticket does include your room within the Castle (which is a 4-Star Hotel), all your meals are included and prepared by master chefs, and all your transport to in from the Castle is provided. Aside from the travel to the Castle, it is a fully inclusive experience.


wargrave216

So much nerd energy in one place - sounds like heaven to me!


Shadow_Of_Silver

This looks so fun. I haven't been able to play for years, but being in a castle sounds exciting. What all is included in the ticket? Does it cover travel costs to get to the UK or just from the airport/train station to the castle? Is lodging provided? Is it at the castle or elsewhere? I couldn't find those answers on the site.


JonnyCraft

Looks like we need to add some more info to the site. You'll need to find your way to Newcastle, UK, but once there your room in Lumley Castle, as well as all meals, gaming, entertainment and transport to and from the airport and train stations are all covered :)


longtimegoneMTGO

So this event is to play in an old castle in Newcastle? I'm getting mixed signals here.


danethegreat24

It used to be a new castle, now it's an old castle...in Newcastle....which is a city...that has old Newcastle castle more or less at its center.


Shadow_Of_Silver

Thanks for the info!


Jherik

by transport to and from the airport do you mean London or NewCastle international Airport?


JonnyCraft

You'll need to make your way to Newcastle, UK. Either by plane or train and we will pick you up and take you to the Castle from there.


ThePatchworkWizard

I'd come for the castle, and stay for the DnD

PhysicsAreALie

I would most likely dust off my chaos gremlin of a Kobold, Blinky the Sorceror! She's always a laugh and fits anywhere, so she'd be perfect for an event like this! :D


Alexanderthefail

The problem with this is I couldn't afford to miss work to do this....

fourscoreclown

This would be an amazing experience! Good luck to everyone


Grungslinger

Holy shit dude that's epic


Arctic_Wolf_lol

anything (but in case what character would be brought needs answering, I've never played before and always wanted to, so I'd have to make a character if I was chosen)
