TOPIC: Arcane Recipe <=Artifact Creation Token

Arcane Recipe &lt;=Artifact Creation Token 14 years 10 months ago #1

A fun component of any old timey AD&D game were relics and artifacts.  So...we decided to add them to the game.<br /><br />A total of THREE Arcane Recipe tokens will be available at Gen Con Indy.  One of them will be randomly placed in the random token generator in the Exit Room, and two of them will be auctioned off on Sunday after the Riddle Reveal at the Auction.  It is possible that the one token placed in the treasure generator will not be pulled at Gen Con if any tokens remain at the end of the event.  We plan on adding these three Arcane Recipe tokens each year at Gen Con Indy for at least 3 years.<br /><br />One of these tokens can be turned in before October 1st, 2009 to begin the process of the creation of an unique "artifact".  This one-of-a-kind token will have purple letters and a purple "token back", and only one will ever be made of each specific token.  The creator's name will be listed in very small print at the bottom of the one token.  <br /><br />When the token is turned in, the player must include the desired name and power of the token.  The Powers That Be will reply back with any changes to the name/power that they deem is necessary along with a listing of additional tokens needed to make the stated artifact.  For instance, if someone wants to make "Bibwik's Wand of Petrification" that player may have to send back some Spider Stone Fangs, perhaps a Light scroll, some Dwarven Steel, some Enchanter's Oil, some Planks and certain gems.  Note that the minimum cost to create an artifact will be 20,000 GP -- but it can go higher depending on the desired power.  The person can send in images for the token, but the images must be copyright free.<br /><br />Once this is all completed, we will design the token and forward a proof via email.  And then sometime in the Spring the person will receive their artifact token in a mysterious box.  Have fun opening it!<br /><br />Note that the power level of artifacts is viewed as slightly greater than most URs.  A +3 weapon is possible -- if you have the gems to create it.  Note, however, we would not be doing the artifact thing correctly if we did not include a slightly negative effect along with the super-awesome power of the token.  Possible negative effects might include (depending on the power) a -2 to FORT saves, the curse of not being able to use followers, inability to use potions, etc.<br /><br />All costs and negative effects will be known before the player pulls the trigger on the creation of the item.  If they decide not to do it, the Arcane Recipe token is returned and they can try again next year.<br /><br />Note that the image of any created token will remain property of True Adventures, Ltd., and we will publish a photo of each artifact for all players (and DMs) to see.

I would get excited about this, but the odds of drawing the one are so low I'll never see it, and I'll never be able to outbid many of the other players.  So, congrats to whomever gets one.

Is there going to be any kind of a limitation on the ones won at auction?  For example, the person who wins the bid for the first one can they bid on the second one?<br /><br />Kim

<br />zomg... sounds very cool, Jeff! What an interesting idea!<br />

I bet we see some more efforts on the forums to trade stuff for GP, to try to raise more GP for the auctions.  It will be interesting to see how much these go for.
