Any word on the percentages of uncommons, rares, trophies and specials for WYC pulls.

If there are golden fleeces instead of trophies will we be able to save up 2016 treasure tokens to redeem at GenCon?

I doubt that there will be monster parts available at Who's Yer Con as it would give away information about the Gencon dungeon.

A thought for next year would be for a generic monster bit token, that can be traded at Gencon for a monster bit of choice, or allow one draw from a box with only monster trophies. This would allow the normal draws to take place at Who's Yer Con and Gamehole Con, with the normal distributions. People would not need to horde the treasure tokens, and TD would only need 1/3 as many of the generic trophy tokens compared to all the treasure tokens presently being horded. (assuming the 35% ratio is accurate)

Just a thought.

I might be the only one but I hope it is not as high as 35. Last year it seems it was between 10 and 15 percent. That might be too low but if every 3rd token is a monster bit that seems crazy high. I will be spending my pulls from WYC at WYC.

Id be happy with old bits if theres a concern about spoilers. Im not a fan of the fleece method since it ups the swinginess. 50 draws at gen con has will almost always get you some number of bits, it might or might not hit a fleece.

I'd even be fine with a "WYC Monster Trophy" that is reused each year and can only be used to create Fleece.

We buy, sell, and trade True Dungeon tokens. We also have a convenient consignment program where you can sell your own tokens.

I would not expect 2016 bits. I'd be perfectly happy with bits from prior years. Or the generic bits that Kirk suggested.

If they don't do monster bits at WYC, I hope they plan on people saving the treasure tokens for GenCon.

They may want to bring a lot of Script just in case.

My groups should have just over 300 pulls for WYC (2 full runs + pre-order chips). I am gonna burn them all there. I will report what my pulls are after WYC.

Last year they ran out of treasure tokens late afternoon on Saturday. Stu signed off on our character cards and we could mail them in to get tokens afterwards.

And there was some point (I don't remember when) they made you take your pulls at WYC so they would have chips.

Our run was fairly late Saturday. We were told to pull, but we asked for an alternate solution. The signed card was a brilliant solution. I burned them Thursday AM at GenCon, so they were back in circulation early.

My memory of this is very sketchy but I think we were allowed to keep our 5X chips but our single pull chips we were told to pull with. I haven't a clue what time the run was on. There were three of us so we might have even combined our pulls to keep more 5X chips. Again I don't remember exactly. I know we did pull an UR, but I don't remember which.
