TOPIC: I screwed up...with runestones

I wanted to post here that due to 100% of my fault the 2009 Token Guide has an incorrect description of how the Runestones work.  Things were a little hectic leading up to Gen Con, and when Dave asked me to proof the 128 page awesome guide I missed it.  Sorry!  Next year we will use the original vision I had in mind.<br /><br />All the runestones say:<br /><br />(1 use, redeem at start)<br /><br />This means that they are consumables and that you turn it into the Coach in the Coaching Area.  Also, we have created a new slot -- the runestone slot -- so you can only turn in one of them.  Basically, you activate the magic of the runestone and then it fades over time so it only works for the adventure.  This is important because of a planned upgrade being introduced this year.<br /><br />Sorry again for the mis-communication.  With no True Realm in 2010 I will do a much better job on the details!  Thanks for your understanding.

well, that was what we were originally told for true realm, so no surprise.  in fact, at gencon i was playing it as if we could only use (and had to turn in, of course) one runestone, and did it that way for the few hours i was helping in the training room too.  only a couple people even asked about using a second one (that they just happened to open in their pack, i believe), and didnt question the limit of one per adventure.

Everyone I encountered was doing limit 1 per adventure and turn in at the start.  Even if the token guide was off, the discussions on the boards had made their use pretty clear to most forum users. <br />

As a coach, I was told very clearly 1 runestone per person, collected at the start, at both True Realm and GenCon.  I had a few people try to use more than one, but didn't have anyone try to counter with the token guide.

You guys are awesome!  Thanks for having my back and keeping TD on the straight and narrow.<br /><br />Since we don't have True Realm in 2010 I hope Dave can carve away some time so we can release the new 2010 Token Guide at the same time the tokens are released in March.  He can probably do it, but it will mean I have to have my act together by January so we can hammer out the rough draft of the Token Guide then.<br /><br />Dave puts a LOT of work into the Guide, so it is a major project every year.
