If you’ve been a long-term player with Baldman Games, you might know about our super-exclusive “Specials” from our previous organized play storylines, like Moonshae Isles: Rising Shadows. These premiered as exclusive bonus adventures for our D&D eXPerience (DDXP) players at Gen Con, Winter Fantasy, and Origins, and while they weren’t essential parts of the storyline, they were little bonus episodes for our biggest supporters.
This tradition continues with the limited-availability “Exclusive” adventures we offer with our DDXP tracks for the new Legends of Greyhawk organized campaign. But! For the first time ever, we’re bringing regular access to these limited Exclusives to our online events!
Starting with the August Virtual D&D Weekend (VDDW), we’ll be offering limited access to these adventures, starting with LoG-CORE 1-3 – Ruins of the Moathouse. But like with our DDXP players and tracks, we want these to go to our biggest supporters, so there will be be no open-access to the tickets for these games, and instead there will be two special ways to gain access to the games.
- Players can redeem 10 Dragon Marks (BMG’s loyalty rewards system) to unlock access to a ticket
- Players can book a Red Carpet Experience (our online equivalent to a DDXP track) and request a currently available limited Exclusive adventure as part of their package.
Additionally, these adventures will only be available for a limited time before going back in our vault.
How to redeem Dragon Marks
- Find the table number of the game you want to play in on our ticketing page.
- Use the following command in our Discord server and be sure to specify the table you want.
/usemarks vddwspecialtygame - The bot will only redeem your Dragon Marks if there are still tickets left for that table.
- The bot will give you a link to the ticket purchasing page for the table, and a code to reduce the ticket price to the correct amount.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q. Do I need a Dragon Mark badge to access these games?
A. No, any type of VDDW Badge will work.
Q. Does the unlock come with a badge?
A. No, you’ll need to get one—either through purchasing, winning, spending Dragon/Dungeon Marks, or claiming one for free using the code from our monthly Scry Ahead stream.
Q. Does unlocking the ticket with Dragon Marks make it free?
A. No, it’s just unlocks the ability to purchase the ticket. You’ll still need to purchase the ticket for $32.
Q. Why is the cost for these tickets so high?
A. This is how we support our creators and fund creation of more adventures. Of the $32 ticket, $2 is a “premiere” fee and goes directly to the story team. The remaining $30 is a 70/30 split between the DM ($21) and Baldman Games ($9). The Baldman Games portion is both used to sustain our operations of these events (software, admin staff, etc), and used to fund future adventures (up-front payments for authors, etc.).
Q. How many tickets can I buy with an unlock?
A. Only one ticket is allowed per unlock
Q. Can I redeem for additional unlocks?
A. Yes, we don’t have a hard limit on how many times you can redeem (other than the number of Dragon Marks in your account), but retain the right to limit the number of unlocks if we detect abuse.
Q. For a Red Capet Experience, do all the adventures need to be part of the same storyline?
A. No, any adventure we could normally run as part of a VDDW is available. You could book a LoG exclusive, a Ravenloft DC, and an adventure from Dragon Delves all in the same Experience.
Q. Will all limited Exclusives be available this way?
A. At this time we expect all DDXP Exclusives going forward to be available both with a Dragon Mark unlock and a Red Carpet Experience. We may have some other limited-availability adventures available in the future that follow different rules.
