I was just amazed at the accomplishment of the 5 day game. I wonder how much time (real life time) it took to accomplish that. I just meant that I wasn't so inclined to brag about my 4 month game after that. I'm having some thoughts of trying the January game, though I'm not sticking to their rules. I will freely use the NWC Dungeon for stats (and gold if I need it). I've been experimenting with my current party. With lots of saving and retries and the judicious use of lloyd's beacons, I can see a relatively low level party doing Kriegspire (not that hard), Supreme Temple (actually pretty easy, I think), Alamos and even Darkmoor - and never have to kill anything in any of those dungeons.
But then there's Varn. Wow that looks hard. Especially dealing with the central room. I've tried running through it and it's doable, but that's with a level 48 party and it's still a close thing. Somehow you'd have to stop and set a beacon in there, lure all the monsters out and then portal back in. Either that or try to kill those things one at a time. Would love to know how somebody dealt with that. Anybody know?
