Question to GenCon 09 DMs... 14 years 6 months ago #1

WhiskeyJack Topic Author Offline 8^th Level 100% Pure Creeper Extract Posts: 736	<br />How many of you used the punch on tokens this year? Did people freak out when you did? Did anyone not use a token when they found out it would be punched?<br /><br />Just wondering.<br /> Legally... its questionable. Morally... its disgusting. Personally... I like it.

I was not a DM, but I had two tokens punched. I was a little surprised when I first saw the DM whip out a device that looked like it came from the office of Orin Scrivello, DDS, but I quickly got over my shock and did not assault the good man.<br /><br /><br />Please forgive me for replying to a question that was not asked of my ilk.

Have you looked it up in the TDb ?

yah, I had a combat room, and don't recall that anyone was particularly amazed when I used the hole punch to mark tokens. it didn't happen often though either (1-2 dozen times / weekend)

shastelly Offline 7^th Level Posts: 319	I had a couple of tokens punched and wasn't the least frustrated or surprized. Hadn't it been announced that they were going to be finding a permanent way to mark the tokens this year as the markers just rubbed off? Anyway the only frustration I saw was in the DM trying to squeeze the thing hard enough to mark the token <br /><br />Jennifer

(aka True Dungeon Piercing and Tattoo body customization)<br /> Legally... its questionable. Morally... its disgusting. Personally... I like it.
