I had a very rewarding experience helping new people out at both Gencon and Pax S

It's really nice how helping someone else can make your day good.

This doesn't have to be limited to Gencon. Do this for a few players at whatever convention you attend.

Of course sending tokens to another to give out at GenCon is also a good option. Do what works best for you

I’m making the assumption that gen con is the best place for new players

I think Gamehole con might be better with it being smaller and newer ppl being able to buy tickets day of

the pax shows I believe have had the most new players

I’m game. I’ll combine some of the class packs with the crazy amount of consumables I’ll be giving out.

Sure, 5 useful rares and an AoTF for them to use.

A weapon, an armor, something class specific (a wand, a bard instrument, etc) an Ioun Stone and a Charm or Back for instance.


I'd like to see how many people are willing to drop a few tokens into the hands of a new player with nothing coming back to them for doing it. Hopefully a good number of us

I've been doing this at every convention for the past five years or so; in some cases, I've equipped entire random parties of new players.
