Token Release Party! < Saturday, Jan. 21^st

$Description: C:\Users\Jeff\Desktop\TD 2012\Newsletters\1_06_files\image001.jpg$ True Adventures, Ltd is hosting a small Token Release Party in Carbondale, IL on Saturday, January 21st from 10:00am until 10:00pm.

The party will take place at our warehouse/workshop on the outskirts of Carbondale, and admission is free. We will create a fantasy-themed hang-out spot complete with tables and chairs and ample lighting. Open gaming and token trading is encouraged. Collectors can trade-in for Trade tokens and Transmuted tokens from 1:00pm to 5:00pm, and token pre-orders can be picked up any time that day. Pre-orders can also be picked up on Friday, January 20th at Quick Signs (next door to the warehouse) from 1:00pm to 5:00pm.

The event is going to be a small gathering with no events provided by True Adventures. It is just a chance for TD collectors to hang out, trade tokens and do some open gaming. Space is limited, so the event is open to full-time TD volunteers and token collectors who have placed a token pre-order. IMPORTANT: You MUST let us know that you wish to attend in order to pick up your pre-order on Friday or Saturday. To do so, please fill out this online form. The deadline to register for the Party is Jan. 18^th.

The warehouse/workshop is located a block south of Illinois Route 13, so it is easy to find. There are three hotels within a few blocks, as well as a Houlihan’s and a Golden Corral. No alcohol will be allowed into the event, but you can bring any snacks or non-alcoholic beverages you wish.

The location of the workshop and local hotels are shown at this link:

All token pre-orders will be shipped out Monday, January 23rd – if they have not been picked up the previous week. Be sure to bring proper ID to claim your token pre-order.

Transmuted Token Fun in 2012!

You can read all about the 2012 Transmuted Token Program HERE. You should be able to start sending in for your 2012 Transmuted Tokens in around Feb 1^st – or you can physically trade for them at the Token Release Party.

Gen Con Ticket Draw

On April 2nd, we will hold a special drawing from all the 2012 token buyers to date. Ten lucky token buyers will win, and each can "pre-buy" up to 10 tickets (of one slot) before anyone else! Winners will be contacted on April 2nd, and they have until April 10th to pick their event slot (and pay for the tickets). If we do not hear back from a winner by April 10th, then another name will be drawn. True Dungeon event tickets go on sale for everyone in early May. For every 10-pack you buy, we put your name in the "virtual hat", and each winner will have the chance to "pre-buy" a full 10-ticket slot of tickets BEFORE they go on sale to anyone else! This means that you are guaranteed to get the exact slot you wish without having to worry about the crazy time during event registration. You still have to buy the tickets at the normal price. NOTE: The more tokens you buy, the greater your chance of winning!

Description: Description: Description: Description: http://truedungeon.com/images/stories/golden-ticket-12.png The Golden Ticket

We are randomly inserting 30 special Golden Ticket tokens into the 2012 token collection. Instead of a Common token, you get one of these uber-cool tokens in your 10-pack. Details for the Golden Ticket Event will be released in early 2012 on the URL printed on the token. You will also get a host of extra goodies which include a completely awesome pack of uber-rare and powerful tokens and an exclusive GT-only surprise inside your True Dungeon adventure.

Set Powers

Possessing more than one Ultra Rare token can give your character some added benefits. Three notable set powers are in play this year involving the five "Might" magic items. These gain your character +1 to their level!

Orb of Might (2010) < no longer available
Scepter of Might (2011)*
Boots of Might (2011)*
Girdle of Might (2011)*
Crown of Might (2012)*

*Available this year as one of your Ultra Rare selections with every $250 purchase.

Trio of Might: Equipping with any three of the above tokens makes your character 5th level (instead of 4th level) for the dungeon. Being 5th level gets your character more hit points, powers and 3rd level spells if your character is a spell caster.

Quartet of Might: Equipping with any four of the above tokens makes your character 5th level (instead of 4th level) for the dungeon, and your character gains +2 to melee damage.

Quintet of Might: Equipping with all five of the above tokens makes your character 5th level (instead of 4th level) for the dungeon, and your character gains +4 to melee damage.

There are also other set powers for possessing other groups of certain tokens. We added some set powers for some Common, Uncommon and Rare items this year. You can see a complete listing of them on page 6 of the 2011 Token Guide. The 2011 Token Guide currently does NOT have these new set powers added in 2012:

Mountain Dwarf Armor (2012 Common)
Mountain Dwarf Boots (2012 Common)
Mountain Dwarf Mitts (2012 Common)

Footman Set (+2 to AC & -1 damage from Cold)

All 140 of these Onyx tokens will be shipped out immediately after placing your pre-order. You get your Wish Ring now, too! In addition, we will also immediately ship your choice of the 16 Ultra Rare tokens (with Gold backs) along with your complete Oynx set and Wish Ring. If you select Option #1, all of your 32 Ultra Rare choices will be mailed with your order around January 23rd.

The deadline for Option #2 is Feb. 15th. After that date, only Option #1 can be selected. If you wish to go with Option #2, please just select 16 Ultra Rares instead of 32 URs during the Check Out process, and then put a note with the order that you want the Onyx Set.

Condensed Packs ($1K each)

Some token collectors don't want to spend a lot of time opening up hundreds of 10-packs of tokens. They asked if we could make a "condensed" version available that would look like what 120 10-packs would look like AFTER a bunch of the Common tokens were turned in for Trade tokens. Condensed packs save collectors the hassle of opening up all those 10-packs, sorting them, and then sending them off to exchange for Trade tokens. When you tell us your Ultra Rare choices you may also tell us how much of your order, in increments of $1,000, you would like to receive in Condensed form. There will be a text box available during your ordering process to tell us how many $1,000s of your order that you want in Condensed form. Instead of getting the normal 120 packs, you will receive the following:

•   4 Ultra Rare tokens of your choice from either the 2011 or 2012 print runs—mix & match as you like
•   1 random 2012 Ultra Rare (There is a 20% chance an ADDITIONAL random Ultra Rare token will appear in your random Rare token bag.)
•   120 Random Rare tokens (10% of these will be platinum backed)
•   240 Random Uncommon tokens (10% of these will be platinum backed)
•   21 Fermented Frostberry tokens (Common)
•   4 Minotaur Hide (Trade tokens)
•   8 Dwarven Steel (Trade tokens)
•   5 Mystic Silk (Trade tokens)
•   1 Philosopher’s Stone (Trade token)
•   2 Enchanter’s Munitions (Trade tokens)
•    4 Darkwood Planks (Trade tokens)
•   4 Alchemist's Parchment (Trade tokens)
•   1 Alchemist's Ink (Trade token)
•   2,100 GP
•   Chance at a Golden Ticket*

Punch Cards: Last year we included a Punch Card with every Condensed Pack but that won’t be necessary this year. The only 2012 Common token in a Transmuted recipe is the Fermented Frostberry, and each Condensed Pack comes with 21 of those tokens.

*Golden Ticket: The chance to get a Golden Ticket will be the same exact chance you would have with a regular token purchase. The proper amount of Golden Tickets will be randomly placed among the “120 Rares” bag in all the Condensed packs. You will ALSO find that we have randomly added the “1 in 100” random Ultra Rare tokens inside these random “120 Rare” bag. On average, 1.2 additional Ultra Rare tokens will be added to your Rare bag, so most Rare bags will have 120 Rares inside plus 1 Ultra Rare as well. One out of five Rare bags will have two Ultra Rares. A very few will also have an additional token included—a Golden Ticket token. So, most Rare bags will have 121 tokens, 20% will have 122 tokens, and fewer will have 123 tokens.

In addition to everything mentioned above, each Condensed pack (or non-Condensed $1K order) receives a signed copy of each of the two modules from 2012 as well as one über-cool “Rod of Seven Parts (Segment 5)” token after True Dungeon is over in November of 2012. There will be a text box available during Check Out to tell us how many of your tokens you want in Condensed form.
