Chad, Are you going to post the tunes sometime?

i am just going to let everyone post their own

Congrats Jon! I hope you'll share your lyrics!

I kinda feel like recording mine and sharing it as I'm quite proud of it. But at the same time I kinda want to hold it in reserve if there is a bunch of crazy true dungeon partying once we get back to in person XD

Congrats Jon!

I had a lot of fun coming up with this one. Thanks again for the chance.


Ode to a Token-Holic
(Parody of Somebody to Love by Queen)

Can anybody Loan me A Treasure Booster?
Ooh, each dungeon I go through I desire more
I never achieve my max pulls
(There’s more treasure out there) Take a look at my draws and cry (and cry)
Jeff, what you're doing to me (yeah yeah)
I have spent fifteen years playing with my friends
But I need more draws to feel good, Jeff!
Somebody (somebody) ooh somebody (somebody)
Can anybody Loan me A Treasure Booster?

I work hard (every run) every run for my team
I slide 'til I ache in my wrists
At the end (at the end of the run)
I wish I had all the tokens that exist
I pull from (from) the treasure box (box)
And I start to pray
Please be a charm of avarice
Lord, somebody (somebody), ooh somebody
(Please) can anybody Loan me A Treasure Booster?

Every run (every run) I try and I try and I try
But random die rolls always brings me down
They say I'm too low A/C
They say my balance needs more to survive, but no
Ah, got no self control
I got no money left to buy more
Yeah yeah yeah yeah

Oh, Jeff
Ooh Lazlo H., ooh Trent Tokens,
Can anybody Loan me A Treasure Booster?
(Can anybody Loan me a treasure booster)
Got no kills, I got no healing
I just keep losing my life (you just keep losing and losing)
I'm OK, I'll get through (he needs more, he needs more)
I ain't gonna give in today (yeah yeah)
I just gotta get more of these treasure pulls
One day (someday) I’ll have them all soon, Jeff!
Loan me A Treasure Booster
Loan me A Treasure Booster
Loan me A Treasure Booster
Loan me A Treasure Booster
Loan me A Treasure Booster
Loan me A Treasure Booster
Loan me A Treasure Booster
Loan me A Treasure Booster help help
Loan me A Treasure Booster
Loan me A Treasure Booster
Somebody somebody somebody somebody
Somebody Loan me
Somebody Loan me A Treasure Booster
Can anybody Loan me A Treasure Booster?
(Loan me A Treasure Booster)
Ooh
(Loan me A Treasure Booster)
Platinum Nugget, Ring of (Loan me A Treasure Booster) Riches, A Treasure Booster
Loan me, Loan me, Loan me, Loan me, Loan me
Ooh, A Treasure Booster (Loan me A Treasure Booster)
Ooh (Loan me A Treasure Booster)
Loan me, Loan me, Loan me A Treasure Booster (Loan me A Treasure Booster)
Anybody, anywhere, anybody Loan me A Treasure Booster horn plenty!
Somebody Loan me, Loan me a charm

orginal song - baby shark

So I decided to go ahead and give mine a sing to share. I grew up going to conventions when filk was pretty much at it's height I think, and I could think of no better song to parody for this challenge than Tom Smith's song 307 Ale. Who doesn't like a good drinking song to share at the end of a long dungeon?



Lyrics:
There's many games you’ll play my friends, at every con you do.
There's Catan and Munchkin, Firefly Flux, and rounds of Red Dragon Inn.
There's D&D, Pathfinder too, and others in between,
But I think you'll find that True Dungeons the best you’ve ever seen.

(chorus)
A new true dungeon run my friends, a good true dungeon run,
So grab your tickets and tokens too and let’s go have some fun,
Two hours we’ll set real life aside, seven rooms there to be won,
There's nothing that you'll ever play like a new true dungeon run, my friends,
A good true dungeon run.

It’s stationed out of Carbondale or so the people say,
And it came about when a man named Jeff wanted a new way to game,
For D&D had gotten stale, he needed something new,
We didn’t know it then all the fresh hells that would ensue.

(chorus)

He sat down with a notebook in his favorite thinking chair,
And drafted up a concept he thought good enough to share.
The puzzles came quite naturally, combat was polished too--
But when he crafted tokens our poor wallets were all screwed!

(chorus)

Each year brings a new story and new challenges arise,
With parties forming strategies to go and claim their prize.
From Greyhawk to some goblin mines we’ve solved a vast array,
Since debuting in 2003, and still going strong today.

(slower)
There's many games you’ll play my friends, but True Dungeon beats them all:
It’s standing as the crowning jewel in any gaming hall,
A game made by a genius, or a madman who can say--
The only thing confirmed is that we’re all lining up to play!

(final chorus)
A new true dungeon run my friends, a good true dungeon run,
So grab your tickets and tokens too and let’s go have some fun,
Two hours we’ll set real life aside, seven rooms there to be won,
Bring on the monsters for us to slay,
And Gondor's horn that makes us stress and pray,
There's nothing that you'll ever play
Like a good true dungeon run!

Awesome job Kitkumi! Loved it
