TOPIC: Weapon Proxy

If proxies were allowable, and I owned a legendary weapon, I would likely use a proxy.

I'd agree with that, and I too would prefer that proxies were allowed and would use weapon proxies if they were. But, I suspect for various reasons that the proxy ban will continue.

I agree with every statement above

If TD printed the proxies, and they had the statement “show original token to DM before sliding” in place of the graphic, it seems there would be few chances of fraud or abuse. Newbies should realize the proxy is useless without the real token.

Maybe I give people too much credit.

But I might just keep sliding my Baton anyway.

doing what i do...it will be hard to lose a token.

when I have $1000+ on the board I am watching everything. my eyes dont leave the tokens.

we dont need proxies if you do that.

Sure, this is all good advice if not using a proxy. If one is used, there is no chance of losing the original to a combat mishap. I just don’t understand the unwritten “offical?” rule against them. If they were avaiable, this also helps token sales by folks using mats to build spendy tokens they would otherwise not build.

This is trying to solve a very small problem... since the magnets, how many people have flipped a token out of the puck?

Next we will need a proxy for the proxy... then in a year, a proxy for the proxy... then something will mess up a proxies and people want a proxy for the proxy for the proxy... where does it end?

I create 4 Simulacrums/clones of myself at GenCon. I do way too many games and game systems not to do this. When I dispel my clones and absorb them back into me after GenCon their memories become mine. It’s the only way to do GenCon. So I guess my clones are a proxy of me.

this would explain a lot of things... helping dave sort tokens/ doing a run with you/ passing you in another coaching room/ all at the same time.

seriously though. I don't care for proxies.

I want to apologize if this comes out wrong. I certainly don't mean to sound weird. I bought my wife a diamond ring when we got engaged, not a proxy. I see her wear it out. hmmmm.

I treat my tokens the same way. Lazlo is right. these are valuable. keep your eyes on them.

Yes, you buy tokens to play the tokens. They aren't some family heirloom to be hidden away. Watch your tokens and they will be fine. We seem to forget that these are the equipment of the game, not their own collectable piece.

I think they're both.

• Clearly, they are game equipment. That needs no elucidation.
• The fact that there are folks who trade and collect tokens, by definition, makes them collectible.
