    Cryptic, congratz! This event is a riot! For those of us who have played tabletop D&D in the past, this event was sooooo hilarious! Dice as enemies! Melodramatic voices! Random encounters! Hahaha! What a blast! Keep up the great work!

    Well done Cryptic! Great event. Love the random mobs and encounters. If only the Q doesn't take that long to pop! :)

    :(

    I just played it. It was very well designed. It was odd that the witch was labeled as a Shadar-kai even though she didn't look at all like one though.
    Neverwinter players are stubborn things....until you strip them down to bone. (Cursed players, my flowers, MINE!) Oh how I plotted their demise.

    I would agree that this should run through the weekend. April Fools or not, its a decent event. Especially considering the queue times are worse than PVP.

    The event is hilarious! It was really fun and different, having my char slide through the tabletop was funny and the princess voice was just too much.
    Congratulations guys! You really had an amazing idea and thought outside the box for this one!

    I am seriously impressed by the attention to detail this event received. The creators did an amazing job! Give those guys a bonus!

    Loving the new event!
    Those have been the most fun Skirmishes I've done yet.
    Short, unusual, the teams have all been friendly and drama free.
    Haven't run into a single bug yet.
    And the Pet and Pocket Pet are both cool.
    Also Giant Sky Cleavage!

    It's very easy, just for fun is all. I like it. It represents quite a bit of work by the devs, and I personally appriciate it.

    Rollicking good fun! The randomisation is a very welcome thing... I've been through a dozen or so times and no two have been exactly the same. *thumbs up* If the queue were faster and better behaved, I'd say this event is absolutely perfect. *goes back to grinding for teh pet-dice*

    Best event and best companion so far. Even with all the Dark Souls jokes about giant chests ahead.

    Personally, this is my favorite event so far. Randomness in the skirmish is great.

    My only 2 complaints are:
    If you get a challenge, it doesn't show up on the UI so you can't see your progress and you have to hover over the item before you pick it up to know what to do for the challenge.

    It doesn't last through the weekend. Not everyone will get a chance to run it as much as they like with it being only on weekdays. Plus this Saturday is Tabletop Day so it fits with that as well.

    I don't even know what these challenges you speak of are...
    Foundry - Fight Club? (nw-dluqbofu7)
    - JailBreak (in development)

    i like this event, it just fun and short.

    it would be great side games for several holiday themes, halloween, x-mas, and other settings.

    Absolutely fantastic, especially the randon parts. I so hope this will be part of future dungeons (and maybe the Foundry...?).
    3 dice per run means 27 runs if the RNGods are against you. Not bad, I would run the hell out of this, but I have an exam on thursday :(
    Also, all thumbs up for "Curse your sudden but inevitable betrayal", that totally made my day :)

    Edit:
    Just read that the ingame timer is wrong, and the event will run until 4th April. Makes me a happy panda :)

    However, I also noted that the maps (especially the dungeon) seem to be far more ressource hungry. I normally don't have frame lags, but the dungeon is a toal slide show :/

    Love the event, the table top feel, the randomness etc. One quibble, one of the pocket pet 'boons' is just bad for a GF - threat reduction is not something I'm ever looking for.

    Finally got the run a few of these, and it was really fun - took me back to my tabletop days. The substituting of dice for minis really struck a chord! It was hilarious hearing the GM do all the monster & NPC voices, too.

    I only wish the pocket pet and companion were bind-to-account, so I could give them to my alts or hold them for future characters. I'd also liked to have other final enemies other than the pit fiend. Still, a great event with quick runs! I hope we see more and variations of this!

    Thanks for bringing that to us CMpinpoint!
    Also, how cool would it be if we could 'DM' one of these runs for our friends/guild? HAHA no mercy!!
