TOPIC: Important Announcement

I have seen a few good questions raised on the Forum, so I thought I should post some info here where everyone will see it.

Rod of Seven Parts - Will these character cards get added to the VTD combat software? This is a lot of work for the developers to implement in the app. Let me get a consensus and I will let you know.

2021 Treasure - Due to the fact that we ordered enough treasure stock for a big expansion in live events in 2020, we have a HUGE stock pile of treasure just sitting in the warehouse. To keep costs down, and to help keep us afloat to possibly 2021-22 when real Cons might appear, we are going to be using standard 2020 treasure stock up through VTD3b. For VTD4a and beyond, we will modify the treasure stock so lots of the high value tokens (like Monster Bits, Ultra Rares, Relics, Legendaries, Transmutes) will convert over to 2021 Treasure Tokens in the Treasure Mix. However, the Commons-Rares will remain 2020 stock.

This all, of course, is open to change based on what happens to live events in 2021. There are some bad scenarios out there with respect to live conventions, so we are trying to keep our options open...while conserving expenses as much as possible. Thanks for your support and patience while we all try to navigate these interesting times.

Did you have any thoughts on offering international shipping on tokens from runs at all? I think myself and a couple of others have expressed interest in recent months, it'd also be good to know how feasible it would be for me to look into arranging in a VTD run for people I know.

Agreed, while I have a US PO box, I can't access it. Even some sort of an option to have them sent out quarterly to balance some of the shipping cost. Send an International batch out after V3b and another after May. Hopefully the future of conventions will be a little more clear after that.

Jeff, I think that's really smart!

If you have so much treasure stock that there will be a lot left even after the virtual runs, have you thought of also offering it for sale separately? Or maybe doing something with VTD ticket prices like paying an extra amount for double treasure pulls? Something like $66 for a VTD ticket, or $100 for a VTD ticket plus double treasure pulls? Or maybe a flat extra amount, like $100 for a VTD ticket plus 15 extra treasure pulls (which would be of interest even to those without a lot of treasure enhancing tokens)? Or even a combo approach, like $100 for double treasure pulls or 15 bonus treasure pulls, whichever is higher?

For those who need international shipping there are a few stateside people like me who are offering to receive treasure and store or send it on to the international player until TD has an international option.

My ask is that the tokens are stored seperately and marked for the player so I can set them aside to ship or store without worry.

PM me if you need a stateside treasure surrogate. Shipping costs will be actual shipping expense to get tokens to you

I'm also available for token storage/delivery.

When cons start back up again, I will definitely be going to GenCon and PAX South and about 90% on going Game Hole Con and, of course, will alternatively ship to you at cost, if you like. I would also be willing to open your shipment on camera (so we're both protected in regards to UR+ tokens) and do any transmuting before forwarding on to reduce costs, if that is your preference.

Thanks both, it's appreciated by myself and no doubt others that you are willing to shop tokens to international players. I'm currently grateful to someone who has sorted out V2 for me, once I am online a bit more later in the month I'll see what I will be doing for V3 - it would probably also make sense for me to ask if I have the option of getting V3 treasure shipped with a 2021 token order so I can figure out what to do.

I think maybe offering a extra use of the class the next year (or 2 extra uses in 2022 if we lose 2021 as well) might be the best option. That way people don’t lose out on using it but makes life easier on the developers.

Has there ever been any thought to offering a PYP (or even PYRelic, PYLegendary) as a treasure draw? It could help keep some of the 2020 high value stock churning for you.

I would also be able to send intentional at cost. More then willing to help those not in the US.
