Yes, they can add on the $10 Meet and Greet ticket to the regular 4-day pass with swag bag. 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You earn Reaper bucks through various activities throughout the weekend. Play a game, earn bucks, take a class, earn bucks, etc etc. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bill.faulkner Posted February 12, 2020 Share Posted February 12, 2020 I understand that in the past, if I had a VIP pass, I could buy early class tickets for my SO, who doesn’t have a VIP pass. Still true? Trying to decide if it’s worth getting a VIP pass for both me and my wife, or just one of us. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's Scrip [Monopoly Money] that is redemable on a dollar per Reaper Buck basis for the auction. Also, you need Reaper Bucks [Lots of Reaper Bucks!] for the Auction on Sunday. You get Reaper Bucks for participation. Register, you get some bucks. Take a Class, get some bucks. Wear a costume, get bucks. Wear a Reaper Shirt with this years art, get bucks. Etc. For the auction on Sunday people usually pool their Bucks in order to bid on things like the paint sets, which are all the remainders from the paints used for the classes and things like Paint and Take and Ludo Says games, packaged in a plastic carrier and sold to the highest bidder for each lot. There is also mucho other swag up for auction , not just from Reaper but from the other participating Vendors and Sponsoring Businesses as well.

GEM Ninjad by Haldir Notably, ReaperBucks are the only currency accepted at the auction. Internationally recognized national bank notes need not apply. As @Heisler likes to point out, the only real price at the auction is 'free'. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is how crazy the auction is these days, back in '06 or '07 I won the first Dragons Don't Share for 457 Reaperbucks. These days that won't even get a themed Reaper coffee cup or mousepad. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don’t think I’ve ever won something purely on the strength of the Reaper bucks I earned during the con. These days, VIPs get 500 Reaper bucks just for showing up, and the one Reaper buck chip is a thing of the past. I also think it’s hard to put enough items into the auction to keep up with the number of attendees, while still keeping the auction to a reasonable amount of time. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think back then it was just games (whether it be rpg or miniature games) & classes. Thou, there was a deal you could turn in swag points (remember those!!!) into Rbucks as well & that got screwed up as the exchange rate got mixed up (you got more bucks then you should have per swag point). I know there was a couple of people that had a lot of bucks but that is because they camped out at the dungeon crawl table & played that most of the weekend. There really wasn't allot of pooling, so called "families of bidders" either. If you had a decent amount of bucks, you were bound to get something. I got my bucks off the exchange + I'm sure that was year I spent Friday 9 am to 9 pm in classes solid (I don't recommend doing that.....). 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reaper User ReaperAHawk Posted February 12, 2020 Author Reaper User Share Posted February 12, 2020 New this year will be a new program to use your ReaperBucks and not just at the Auction. More details to come. We are still ironing out details on this new program so we can't report anything just yet....but just wanted to let you know that ReaperBucks will have more uses than before. 9 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

haldir Posted February 12, 2020 Share Posted February 12, 2020 Since I don't participate in the auction anymore (I got what I wanted out of it, one year) so I tend to use the bucks I get as bonus rewards in my games that I run. It's more or less 5e inspiration but for Reaperbucks instead! Looking forward to the new plan for Rbucks! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It just depends on what people want. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
