TOPIC: 2008 Dungeon Only Tokens

<br /><br />So true, Bro!  For all the 2009 token buyers - it is SOOO worth it to get a Golden Ticket!!   =D<br />

<br /><br />And this is from the guy who wimped out on drawing from the Deck of Many Things!<br /><br />(speaking of, does anyone want two cards?  They come complete with curses!)<br /><br />

<br /><br />Hey - I would have done it, but those negative cards really outweighed the positive ones.  Next time hopefully I'll get to pick much later, when most of the bad ones are already off the board  =)

That is actually a good point. I hope Jeff is going to make enough new cards to keep the risk level high enough to give pause. It would be no fun if all the bad cards were drawn, and there was no continuing risk to daunt the potential drawers. Share the wealth and don't feel like you have to use only the cards from the DM guide. Be creative. How about Otto's Irresistable Dance for every first round of combat? What the heck, as long as it's not me that draws it.

<br /><br />Like, after ME?<br /><br />

<br /><br />Yep!  You're a proven bad-card magnet  =D

<br /><br />It would be worth your while to acquire a GT just for me, so I can go before you in the DoMT draw.  <br /><br />

<br /><br />I'll get right to work on that! 

The Deck of Many Things was a one time deal.  It is more fun that way.<br /><br />In 2009, who knows what will happen...<br /><br />(I know I don't!)

Just as well as a one time deal. There are plenty of other creative options out there to surprise people with.

<br /><br />I might not have drawn if the "can't play Cleric" card had not been pulled...but had I been the first to draw - I still would have taken a card because the odds of getting that one card were 1 in 24.  <br /><br />Now for the odds of getting a good or bad card...<br /><br />In a totally random draw from cards your odds were always 50 % bad card or 50 % good card until ALL good or ALL bad cards were drawn.<br /><br />Thinking that you had a better chance to flip over a good card just because so many bad cards were taken before your pull is what gets people into trouble in Vegas.  <br /><br />The only factor to help those pulling late in the line was, "are the really nasty cards gone?"

Well, everything being equal (meaning, if I gotta draw a bad card), at least the card I drew reduces the number of tokens I'd have to carry through the dungeon.

I hope some version of the Deck of Many Things is re-introduced into a dungeon one of these years.  I remember how much fun it was a few years ago when we had the little chest of drawers, where each drawer did a different thing.  We were really beat up, with no healing items or cleric, so the few of us that got healing really benefitted.  At least one of us died from the damage, and our fighter had to go the rest of the dungeon on his knees (turned into a halfling).  That was really fun, and I'd love more random stuff like that.  The good and bad stuff of course was nowhere near the power level of the Deck of Many Things last year, but it was still fun (maybe even more fun, since the effects only lasted that adventure instead of forever).
