I published this very recently, but now that folder is locked.  So...here it is again.

Thanks!

--------

It is a fun process every year!  Much of my year-long work is in secret, so I love this cooperative exercise every year.  It's sweet to work in a group for TD for a change.  I sometimes want to bust out with "check out this cool thing I made for TD" to my friends, but I have to keep it secret until March when we do a playtest.  It can be frustrating sometimes, so thanks for this fun outlet.

Also, it is a superb benefit to have the immediate token feedback from a lot of smart people who love TD.  I am unbelievably lucky to have all the great assistance that comes my way.  I am just glad that guys put up with MY craziness!  I don't have time to reply to all the posts, but I read them all carefully.  It is a good boon that I have your ineffable patience regarding how this whole process is conducted -- with its apparent chaos.  What you guys don't see are all the emails, phone calls and meetings that also effect the tokens.  Something that might appear to be a last-minute, knee-jerk correction may have been hotly debated elsewhere for a week behind the scenes.  I appreciate your acceptance of these occurrences.

Again...thanks everyone for your incredible patience, your intense passion and your vast knowledge.  The tokens would be far inferior without you!

Jeff, thanks so much for letting us be a part of the process!  I really think it's great that you think enough of the community and our input that you will let us review and comment on the tokens, and take all comments into consideration.  One of the reasons this is such a great community is because we are allowed to be such a large part of True Dungeon, and I know I really enjoy and appreciate being able to contribute.    =)

Jeff, I think it's a testament to you that you've been able to create and foster a community of people who can provide all this feedback without it turning into a flame war. I'm also impressed that you can tolerate all of us telling you how horribly you messed up and not take it personally.

Thank you very much for the opportunity to make TD better Jeff! And thank you to my fellow True Dungeoneers for being intelligent, well-spoken, and not belligerent jackasses.

I second this sentiment, thanks Jeff for letting us play in your sandbox with your toys.  Now on to 4th & 5th Level Characters and the new Players Guide!!!

Third'd.

Yeah, I'm looking forward to hashing out the new character cards, too. I jotted down some notes about the current stats, but I don't have them handy.. assuming a base 10 in all scores, the Monk and the Druid have an additional 20+ points in their stats, while the other classes average out at around +10 or so.

Thanks for letting us help, Jeff!  It's a ton of fun!

I think you're saying that we're intelligent, well-spoken jackasses.  Is this an oxford comma situation??  ;/

Quite the opposite! Think of it as a list. I'm saying the TD Forumites are:

• intelligent


• well-spoken


• not belligerent jackasses

Your welcome Jeff and thank you for allowing us to help and thank you for trusting that we will limit our own wants for the betterment of TD. You trust that we may want something ubber powerful but that we will hold that in check for balance and a better TD.

Jeff, thanks for allowing me to participate.

That was fun.  Let's do it again next year  =D
