TOPIC: violet ion stone consumption?

<br />For a full sensory experience, bring a pailfull of manure to the next Mmmoooooo room.  It would give people one more chance to get a crack at the room.  "DM - why do I smell poo in the middle of a temple?"  "DING DING DING - follow me!"<br /><br />Of course, polite people would just blame it on that odd fellow that joined the party at the last moment and not mention it...<br /><br />

WAAAAAAAAAAAYYYYYYYYYYYY!!!!!!!!!<br />

Horrible.  Just Horrible. <br />

Is that the new catchphrase?<br />

<br />

<br />Having been a silent witness to several true grinds, I observed players having all three slots of their violet ion stone used up then tell the DMs they didn't have to give them up, that they could keep them.  Since we still do not have a way to permanently mark tokens (all the DM had was dry erase markers) what is the plan going forward, make itens with marked slots only apply to a dungeon, or should they be consumed (like a potion) when the DM marks the last slot, has there been any progress on finding a method to mark tokens besides dry erase markers?<br /><br />

<br /><br />How about this? http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000UBGNTG?&tag=shopwiki-us-20&linkCode=as2&camp=1789&creative=9325 (sheet metal punch)<br />

<br /><br />As I said...<br /><br />

<br />We have found a way to perminately mark tokens for the future, but did not have the time to implement it for True Realm.  So for True Realm the players got a pass on charge use.<br /><br />Dave<br /><br />

What do you do with a token after all its charges have been permanently marked off? Melt it down and recycle it? Keep it as a souvenir? Use it to bribe monsters? Because you can't place it back in a treasure box to be handed out again after that....

THe old policy used to be confiscate it. Some poeple threw a fit though.

I marked and collected a used wand, but I also returned one when the player asked for it as a souvenir.  I also used up a wand of lightning bolts woodie blasting cows and turned it in.<br />

It's an interesting dilemma. Magic marker is inadequate because it easily smudges off. A physical punch effect permanently adulterates the token, preventing recycling.

My tokens would feel violated
