I just don't like Masks, Masks are a weird item to be "equipping" on a "Face slot" which also seems weird. It's too much of a stretch. Next year will there be an Elbow Slot, or a Kneecap Slot? Getting really corny. Idol Slot, or Pendant Slot, or Talisman Slot, or something else besides Face please.

I agree on the "Face" slot being weird, especially since we already have a "Head" slot and an "eyes" slot.

Could we just call the new slot "Mask" ?

"Mask" does sound better. Kinda like Beads, Charms and Ioun's. I have no idea where each of these are actually worn.

I guess the only reason not to switch from Face to Mask slot would be if Jeff/TD has plans to do any non-Mask tokens in the face slot. Similar to how there are multiple types of gloves/gauntlets/etc in the hand slot.

I know that ioun stones float around your head. I always sort of assumed that the charms and beads were sewn onto your clothes.

Thanks for the good feedback and concerns here.

I am sorry that I did not make a note about this at the start of the recipe section. Please do not get too hung up on the example recipes shown in the PDF. They were provided as a way to explain how the older Charms would be used in the recipe, and all the other listed stuff was just filler to make the recipe look like the others. The exact recipes will be worked out much later.

Finally, out of curiosity, who are the Smith and Aron tokens named after? I love that you do honorary tokens for people.

Epic are gone.

Aron's is named after the guy who helped me start this whole thing 23 years ago. He has a few tokens...

Smith's is named in honor of Chris Smith who passed away this year. He was a passionate player who was not much of a token collector. But, he was a good guy who took care of a friend in need, and someone who put in a lot of work in the early days asked for the honorific.
