TOPIC: Trade Ingredient Tokens?

I like that term. 

The Arsenal thing was just an idea that if a player amassed 50 of a certain type of weapon - they could get an Arsenal token of that item.  Granted there would be way too many of these tokens needed - one for each weapon...but only a chosen group could be made each year...??<br /><br />Arsenal tokens would be just like Reserve tokens for GP - but counting each weapon token as 1 unit and each Arsenal token would be earned at say 50 units.<br /><br />Just seems more real to me to turn in 50 Daggers and get a Dagger Arsenal Token instead of a Refined Steel Token. 

Even if the refined steel token was the main ingredient in a new combo bladed weapon?

<br /><br />Oh, just go ahead and make me regret trading away 250 common tokens.   

<br />Even if the refined steel token was the main ingredient in a new combo bladed weapon?<br />

<br /><br />How do you get refined steel from already forged steel...is there really a way to take mass quantities and get something better in quality?<br /><br />Hey it all works...but I was thinking we all had fun seeing how many Daggers and such we had - people were saying they had enough gear to outfit an orc army or what not...Arsenal Tokens would prove it in a small compact token count.

There is forged steel, then high carbon steel.  I am thinking of the difference in refinement by the Japanese, or alloys.  <br /><br />I understand your desire to, have an accounting, but if the ore or refined steel takes a certain number of common bladed weapons, you will have a count of sorts.  <br /><br />Dave<br />

It is all good...

Remember ages back when I kicked around a suggestion of donating to the greyhawkian orphans fund? (The orphans of all the poor adventurers who die in the dungeon) I'd like to float that idea again as a means to bleed unwanted tokens out of circulation and recycle them. People can donate tokens and each token can have a GP donation value based on rarity like 1, 20, 50 for C, U, R. I wouldn't mind seeing all of that getting mixed up with the various other sources of grab-bag tokens from pass years and then all being churned out for charity. Put it into a giant barrel or something and for $5 people can blindly reach in with a coffee mug and pull out a cupful. All proceeds can go to some charity, much like the feedback loops this year. It'd be a nice way to raise some money and it wouldn't actually cost TD anything other than, well, a barrel and a coffee mug. Those who donate the most can have their names put up on some sort of plaquey thing hanging in the tavern. If this caught on as a reoccuring charity event, it'd be really spiffy if the plaque could have people added to it each year.

That could be cool.<br /><br />Kim

<br /><br />Naturally. All my ideas are cool.

<br /><br />Actually, they already have those... no extra cost incurred!<br />Hooray!<br /><br />I agree that this is a cool idea.

Sounds interesting.<br /><br />The only drawback is that the main number of tokens would probably be common and uncommon with very little rares and no URs (unless Jeff put some in).<br />If the ratios are know, not too many people would "donate" $5 for a mug-full as no one would want to pay $5 for a bunch of commons and uncommons.<br />In addition, what's to keep people from getting a large amount of commons or uncommons and re-donating them for the GP value?  Again, and again, and again...<br /><br /><br />Just tossing out concerns.
