TOPIC: Re: what makes one a "tokenholic"?

Teehee, Thanks for sharing that Widseth, the story made me smile.

(grin)<br />Fabulous story, Widseth!<br />You have such a way with words.

I wish this were a story, but it is true.  I have to admit--I smiled a lot as I fell asleep last night.  <br /><br /><br />Widseth

<br />I wish this were a story, but it is true.  I have to admit--I smiled a lot as I fell asleep last night.  <br />

<br /><br />A true story is even better.<br />The magic is in the telling, tho!<br />It wouldn't have read nearly so well this way: "My grandkids came over and wanted to trade tokens with me while I was napping. Swap some boots, reds for purps, and gold chips for plats. Man they were cute."<br /><br />You pull the reader into the action, and weave a scene so vivid you can almost hear the clunk of chips as they fall against each other, being sorted by small fingers.

<br />That would be SoCal of 2004 when the madness started and I'm just a comparatively little fish, but hooked none the less.<br /><br /><br />Widseth<br />

<br /><br />Ditto - SoCal 04 - when I talked my team into buying a Dungeon Pack!

It started in Indy 04 for me.<br /><br />Kim

I so need to get a picture of my and the three boys in TA shirts...I've been lax in my photo ops!

I'm fairly certain it was at SoCal 2004 for me as well.  This makes me sad, since this upcomingt weekend would have been SoCal 2007!  Waaahh!!<br />

okay, now we're rolling.<br /><br />2004:<br /><br />george<br />gary aswegan<br />widseth<br />kl613<br />bpsymington<br /><br />2005:<br /><br />magicgod <br />twolf1322<br />smakdown <br /><br />2006:<br /><br />weaverjk<br /><br />

2005 for me as well..

2005 for me.  First GenCon, first TD, first token.<br /><br />You know what they say, once to go token, your wallet is broken.

Great scene, Widseth.  Thank you for sharing.<br /><br />My first time at Gen Con and True Dungeon was 2006.  I started out as a FT Vol.  It was a very unique and enjoyable experience.<br />I believe the addition started then.  I *splurged* for a $250 purchase.  I traded away my DSS for some Elixers and other goodies.  I decided I needed more tokens - for a better chance of survival.  While the first $250 order was well outside realms of sanity for me, I bought yet another $250 purchase.  Nuts!  Crazy!<br /><br />Well, that snowballed and now I'm trying to figure out what I can sell so I can afford more tokens.  <br /><br />Welcome to the Addiction.
