Help me find an article on starter dungeons
 
Somewhere recently (since the relaunch of TFT) I saw an article about dungeons for very inexperienced characters (26-32 pts). I looked through the Hexagrams but didn't see it. I'm pretty sure it wasn't a forum post, but not positive.

Can anyone who saw it point me to it?

I think the one you mean was in an article on "funnel" adventures, which is/was in Pyramid ... #3/119, as seen in the index: http://www.warehouse23.com/media/SJG37-2719_preview.pdf

Which you could buy here: http://www.warehouse23.com/products/...ter-the-end-ii

But what I've heard about it, it's really an unusual concept for a funnel in TFT, using super-low-point characters to start.

Seems to me that Death Test is already a funnel adventure. As can be arena combats ala Melee.

That's it. Thanks!

"Funnel" was the magic word.

Death Test is a funnel of sorts. It might be fun to run it with 7 or 8 28-30 point characters, and any that survive have an instant back-story.

Deathtest is the original funnel! I can't count how many player characters I've watched get chewed up in that thing - sacrifices on the altar the few longer lived characters who survived.

I'm currently playtesting a homemade funnel for TFT.

Cool! Do you expect to make it available for others at some point?
