TOPIC: Confess your token addiction!

Hi. My name is Druegar and I'm a tokenholic.

• I dream of winning the lottery so I can buy more tokens.
• I longingly "window shop" on gamingetc.com for tokens I can't afford.
• I regularly peruse the token yearbook wistfully.

How does your addiction manifest?

Hi, my name is Persolo, and I'm a growing Tokenholic.

I do the same as you in regards to all three items you stated.

I wonder how I can roll one purple into obtaining 2 or 3 more..

I debate taking out a sign that says "Please pity the noob who has been a student for 4 years, and loans would always kick in AFTER Gencon".

I wonder who I can beg to take pity and just shovel me a whole lot of useless tokens..not so I can have them, but so I can pick out 25 rares, 25 uncommon armors, 25 uncommon weapons, etc..just to have the trade token capacity to MAYBE make a combo item next year.

I dream of being able to do what friends do for me each year I play...loan a few purps so that they can survive a dungeon on NIGHTMARE!

You're right..that was fun.

Hi, my internet nom de plum is The Broasted, and I am a tokenholic.

• I eagerly await my yearly bonus at work, solely with the intent to blow most of it on tokens.
• I spend many a night clinking through my collection, sorting them into manageable bags.
• I have a token chest large enough that I was not able to get to it while I was recovering from surgery (due to its massive weight).
• I have started my children on the addiction by giving them a basket full of commons (drawn from the Treasure Map chests) to fight over.

i don't have a problem...and nothing I can say will convince me that I have one

Hi, I'm Morningstar, and I think I'm a tokenholic.

See, I have this thing I do when I find a new hobby. I dive in head first and embrace it wholly. If I do something or get involved in something, I want to do it 100% to get the full experience.

Before I showed up for GenCon this year, before I had done my first run, I had purchased an Ultra-Rare packaged from the site and cherry picked a couple of UR tokens off of eBay for my chosen class, the Ranger. In total, I had 4 URs and was completely decked out in Reds.

Like Druegar, I longingly stare at all the upgrades I could snag from gamingetc.com.

I also regularly run over to eBay and check out all the newly listed tokens, hoping to get the early bid in on what I hope to be a good deal.

I've also stopped myself from nerd-raging on the many 2012 Token threads, selfisly wanting to suggest the reprinting of tokens I want (Mithral Chain, Mithral Gloves, +1 Mighty Longbow, I can haz dem nao Jeff??)... just so I can PYP them when I inevitably order 2 or 3 Ultra-Rare packages this year.

SAVE ME!!! SAVE ME FROM MYSELF!!!

With the idea that the strongest will be the best one to take through the dungeon with you?

I forgot one of mine...My mind tries to boggle at what would happen if I acquired a HoP, or an AoW...and cannot. The explosion of pure awesome would certainly flatten a planet.

Lazlo, the journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step.

I keep looking for "like" buttons on some of these posts.

Hi I am brimstoner and I am a tokenholic.

That journey beginning with one step is so true. My first steps began when I bought a couple extra packs many years ago. I then bought a couple more a year later. Then I bought an UR pack the year after. I took some years away from the game and came back this year thinking that I may buy a 10 pack from Gencon and I did so. Then after coming back I found it in my budget to purchase a module pack this year after some creative accounting. And despite this massive purchase I am still finding bits and places I might save to purchase maybe just one more UR pack. Yes my friends addiction is an beautiful and terrible thing.

Hi - I am the archmage Grekel! I have no addictions of whic I am aware. The last person who attempted to increase my awareness of such things is now a toad in some redheaded kid's terrarium. I can stop buying tokens anytime I darn well please.

You too can learn the art of denial by taking the free introductory course to my larger life lesson plan entitled "Yes, it bloody well IS a river in Egypt, and who asked you anyway!?" If the subject matter is to your liking additional lessons may be purchased for a negotiable amount in TD gold, Trade Items or Ultra Rares.

Thank you,
Good Night,
and
Good Luck!

...*mutter* "It IS a freaking RIVER... IN EGYPT!!!" *mutter mutter*

*small strangled voice* _"help!"

Hi I'm sonofrich. I KNOW I'M ADDICTED. (just read my sig! )

It all started about a month or 2 before GenCon 2010. I was trading D&D minis on another forum. When I got an offer to trade minis for "True Dungeon Tolkens." After checking out the site, I figured they'd make great visual effect for my 3.5 D&D Group.

Well it's about a year & a half later & I've collected most of the Gold chip tolkens (minus UR), a good start on completing most of the plat sets, & just scratching the surface on the woodies!

Between Ebay, Trades & 1K order X2 I've spent @ least 5-10K so far. To top it all off, I didn't make to Gencon yet. (Here's hoping 2012 will be the 1st year.)

Plus alot of what MorningstarZero said:

Like Druegar, I longingly stare at all the upgrades I could snag from gamingetc.com. I'll 2nd that!

SAVE ME!!! SAVE ME FROM MYSELF!!! & our credit cards!
