I'm not actually sure, maybe someone remembers?

It was in addition to the ONE torch each party got at the start -- so it was a pretty big deal. And yes, you got to carry around the light for the whole dungeon. I hated to kill the idea, but it got too much to manage. And then years later we gave everyone a personal neck-light...so it was then the concept was moot. Maybe someday we can have "read magic" necklaces that you get at the start when you turn in the Rare token. It would be a UV neck-light dipped in silicone, and we would hide a few clues in the dungeon in invisible UV reactive paint.

it should also be mentioned that the lighting was turned down quite a bit more. while you could still see, as to not run into things, a light source was a must have to make out details.

Thanks for the tidbit of info and the necklace sounds like a fun idea.

That would be awsome.

I second! Love stuff like this.

Thanks for sharing all this history with us Trent. I find it fascinating and look how far TD has come.

It's an honor and pleasure. I love learning about this kind of stuff sooooo much. I've got big plans for these kinds of things in the future, so stay tuned!

Who knows what this is?

Some of the old timers will certainly know, but there's probably a lot of people who might not, so I wanted to share pictures of this very cool part of True Dungeon History!

I never got one but I know what that is. I did acquire a Bag Og Holding Token about 10 or so years ago just to say I have a Bag Of Holding. Plus... I'm hoping in the future it's actually usable in-game.

OMG, that would be awesome!!!!

I believe it used to be the case that you could only carry in a set number of tokens? And that this binder let you carry in extras to use? The bag of holding essentially removed the cap on the number of tokens you could carry?

I think?

I remember seeing someone's a few years ago and them saying they would never part with it

I think someone was pulling both of your legs!

Just guessing here...

Bag of Holding
In 2005 True Dungeon released the Token Collector’s Kit. This imprinted three ring binder included special pages to store your token collection and included the Bag of Holding token. The Bag of Holding token is a novelty/collector item but has no in-game function.

Usable By: all, Barbarian, Bard, Cleric, Druid, Dwarf Fighter, Elf Wizard, Fighter, Monk, Paladin, Ranger, Rogue, Wizard
Slot: slotless
Rarity: Rare
Year: 2005
Source: Promotional
Misc: No In-Game Effect
Exchange Program* Classification: not exchangeable

I have several of those binders, I use them for my wooden token sets.

I use a bag of holding token, and tell myself that all of my extra tokens I bring with me are in it. So, it does have an in-game use for me.
