🏰 May Wrapped: Bosses, Dungeons & System Overhauls

Hey travelers, Old Greg here.

May has been a major month of releases: bosses, Dungeons, the Daily Dungeon, and more. We’ve also dramatically improved campaign memory and the reliability of all core OGT systems (trade, combat, NPCs, etc.) Let’s recap all that’s new in the Tavern!

Now, the BBEGs of questlines, dungeons, or generally badass enemies will be bosses!

Bosses inject variation into OGT's combat. They have multiple phases, unleashing new and more devastating attacks as they get closer to death. They can also multi-attack and use AOE attacks.

Bosses also drop far more XP and are part of an ongoing effort to enhance combat within OGT.

Dungeons are unique, self-contained adventures now part of all OGT campaigns!

Now some new quests will be "Dungeon Quests" that take you to forgotten corners of the world and provide full, self-contained adventures. Each Dungeon has unique monsters, loot, a story, and a boss, but vary widely from sunken tombs to sealed vaults to puzzles! Think of a Dungeon as a 15-30 round unique story, set within the context of your campaign’s world and plot, that has a finite ending and story arc.

There are multiple ways to complete a Dungeon - following the story and finding a nonviolent solution or blazing through to take down the boss both work and have their own unique outcomes!

Dungeons start out as rumors and become fully fledged Dungeon Quests once you arrive at the location on the rumor card (e.g. the Griefspire). They complete when you discover the secret of the Dungeon and complete its storyline!

The Daily Dungeon is an entirely free-to-play Dungeon that resets weekly with a new, unique adventure! The Dungeon adventure is the same for every OGT player, but there are infinite ways to solve its puzzles and complete its story!

All players get 3 free rounds to play in the Daily Dungeon each day! Make sure you use your free rounds though, as they don’t roll over.

We’ve dramatically overhauled character creation in OGT and updated character image creation to make it follow your instructions far better.

Before, image generation struggled to capture every nuance of your characters - now every detail will be faithfully depicted in your character’s profile picture!

The below image was built from the prompt “an insectoid warrior with devastating pincers and chitin armor.”

You can now play OGT on your Apple and Android devices!

All of your campaigns, credits, and players transfer to the mobile apps - and any progress you make on the mobile apps will transfer back to the web if you want to switch between!

Get paid to play OGT! We’re beginning to pay creators to post short TikTok and Instagram videos to help other potential players find OGT!

There’s no TikTok or Instagram posting experience required, all posting will be on new accounts (so it won’t impact your personal accounts), and current creators are making $100-$150/week and working 60-90 minutes/week.

Hang out in the Tavern even when you’re not in the Tavern! Join our Discord to chat with other players about the game, find campaigns to join, or suggest what you want to see added next to OGT!

May your dice roll high and your ale never run dry.

Cheers,

Old Greg
