The idea would be to set a challenge to the player base, which if they achieve generates some interesting effect in a future year (or avoids a bad effect).


The mechanism would be to seed the Gen Con treasure box with some "unique" tokens that thematically would be fragments of an artifact.


Like Voltron, they could assemble into a functional effect.


Here is the catch: the effect of the assembled Artifact would grant a one year boon (or perhaps curse - artifacts are finicky things!) on the player base.


Here is a concrete example of how this might work:

1. At Gen Con 2017 the treasure boxes would be seeded with, say, 4 each of the following white backed tokens:

* Crown of the Barbarian King
* Hides of the Barbarian King
* Talisman of the Barbarian King
* Signet of the Barbarian King

2. These tokens would have no in game effect, but would have a URL to truedungeon.com/fragments or something explaining that:

3. For each complete set of 4 "Barbarian King" tokens turned in to True Dungeon before the end of Gen Con all players will get +1 to melee hit and damage at Gen Con 2018. (Or, perhaps the deadline could be extended a few weeks and they could be redeemed by mail).


Or, there could be more of them that combined in different ways and gave boosts to just some classes, e.g. Barbarian King stuff for Barb, Fighters, another cycle for Wizards, Bard, another for Druid, Ranger, Cleric, etc.




The idea probably needs a lot of fine tuning, but in essence I'm wondering if there is a way to create a community wide "scavenger hunt" for us all to solve with our treasure pulls.



One thing I'm not sure of is whether tokens put out like this would actually get redeemed, or if the allure of owning unicorn-rarity tokens (even if they do nothing) might prove too attractive for some collectors. Perhaps the fragments could be cursed: "The owner of this token may never draw treasure." :laugh:

collectors would not want to turn them in..so it would be incomplete


Ugh - I accidentally deleted the base note here.

Anyway - wanted to say: Cool! I'm not sure if RRFs were in any way related to this proposal, but I had forgotten about this by the time they came around.
