Yes

When he suggested 3:1, well? Who am I to argue? Healing is good. I hope Jeff put in the order for 1,000,000+ of the Distilled healing potion tokens.

With this recipe I doubt that is what the condensed pack will bring.

One would think, but in the 2014 $1K order, Jeff eliminated the pack of 20 one point healing potions. He put in two Distilled Healing potions. Should be interesting to see the final transmute.

Raven wrote: Quip made the exact comment I was going to make about the Legendaries requiring URs.

They already require a Relic to create - adding a year-specific UR is... limiting. And expensive. (I know they also require other year-specific tokens, but it's always easier to find C/U/R tokens floating around after the fact).

The fact that Asher's dagger requires TWO extra URs seems extremely steep, especially when Rolands Ring requires ZERO extra URs.


And I'm with the others who think the price for the healing potion is on the low side. It should use more 1-pt heals, and maybe only 50 GP?

To add to Raven's observations, let us consider the real dynamic of these artifact weapons. These legenday/artifact weapon tokens will cost thousands of dollars to make. Unlike earlier tokens, players will be tossing them down a combat board, in a puck! And what happens when that +5 weapon token rolls out of its puck? Lossing a $2500+ token (or two if you're playing a Monk or Ranger) seems risky. And some unscroupiless players may attempt a real life pilpher? Though I may build some relic weapons, I'll probably stay away from such risky artifacts, unless they can be proxied. Will players be able to proxy, of so, how so? I'll be squemish about a $275 Relic weapon on the combat board. Seems like alot of risk, for questionable reward?

Regarding the formula for the Distilled Healing:

Jeff used an old copy of the formulae. We had several discussions on the subject and the current formula is:

11x Potion: Pure Oasis Water
100 gp

For the Boots of the Marauder, the Genie Vapor has been moved up to it (from the DH potion) and there are now 3 options.

A formula for the +3 Rod of Niltongue has been created and should be posted soon.

The Charm of Enlightenment color should be RED. Sorry about the confusion.

Dennis thanks for pointing out that the 2014 Token page is up. I missed that, now I wondering if I missed something else after reading the benefits for 2k this year. I noticed there is an amazing event planned at Whos Yer Con, which will be great. But it looks like the Astral runs at GENCON aren't included any longer. Are they off?

Thanks for all the feedback everyone. I will take a look tonight when I get a chance. I am prepping for a early morning flight to San Jose, CA for Dwarven Forge business, but I should be able to look at it late tonight.

I did edit the first post so it shows the +3 Rod recipe and the proper recipe for the Potion of Distilled Healing. I fixed the wrong color on the Charm.

More changes to come after your feedback!

Thanks again for all your help with the tokens this year. As the sole employee of a company that just fulfilled a $2 million Kickstarter project, I have been much too absent here. My apologies! I hope you will understand. Just think about all those 5,400 Kickstarter backers who are very happy now with the DF Game Tiles. I am very blessed to have a great token/player community to help take up my slack.

Pre-orders for the 2014 tokens start on Tuesday, Nov. 5th. If you can swing it financially, I would greatly appreciate your pre-order very soon. We have made a lot of purchases for some cool new wall panels (185 in all!) and well as a big upgrade to the sound/light controllers. We are painting the walls now and starting to build the new SPFX boxes, but the expenditure has left our coffers rather empty.

(Lori is not happy!)

Anyway, if you can swing it, we would appreciate your pre-order soon.

The cool new thing we are doing for sure: We are upgrading the Adventurers' Guild membership to include exclusive cool events at WhosYerCon on February 21-23 in Indy. We will have True Grind as well as a mini-event featuring puzzles from past years. And it will only be open to 2014 Adventurers' Guild members. Thanks for your support!

Other events are being planned for Gen Con Indy for AG members, but nothing can be announced until we work out the details with Gen Con.

More info to come!

Ask and you will receive, I think I just timed my post right. Jeff thanks for the feedback and for being so hard working, with both DF and TD. We all appreciate your efforts!

Hi Jeff,

The potion looks much better now. I would still request that you allow older healing tokens as well as the 1 pt tokens from this year.

It is amazing that you can juggle Dwarven Forge and True Dungeon, both seem like more than full-time jobs!

Thanks,
Mike

From what I read, Jeff is still working with GenCon staff. It may take weeks, if not months to finalize?

Great that Jeff gave us an update!

The Ring of Greater Focus affects both damage and healing spells. The recipe calls for two Healing items and one damage item, and both healing tokens are rates. I think it should be more balanced.
