A series of tables expands the setting beyond a Forest, if you choose.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eFor example, you might set the story in an expanse of snowy peaks, haunted by spirits of lost travelers or a deep marsh, polluted by futile wars, crawling with restless dead.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe Characters\u003cbr\u003eCharacter creation in TOKEN is simple, using a series of expanded tables to choose the Past that haunts you, your Identity (for the Seeker) and monstrous Features (for the Dweller). Both characters have a driving Instinct (a motivation for seeking the other), which changes throughout the story and is finally acted upon during the game's epilogue. Scars are the manifestation of physical injuries gained during the journey or emotional wounds from the past. Charms are dangerous magic powers which both characters may use. Finally, both characters have a Secret about their shared past which is revealed during the final scene if the gameoffering a final dramatic chance to influence how the story ends.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eYou might play characters such as:\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eA Seeker with a family curse, who is an Elder, Fighter, and an Outcast, seeking to slay the monster which haunts the woods to put an end your family curse.\u003cbr\u003eA Dweller who once was a lost hunter, now Ancient, Ravenous and Many-Limbed, seeking to reunite with your long-lost kin so that you may look on the beauty of the world outside.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eMechanics\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eTOKEN adapts the dice rolls from Trophy Gold and adds a new mechanic of its own. Dice rolls may result in the player gaining a Token, acquiring a Scar, or increasing the threat of the Forest:\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eReflection Rolls (similar to the Hunt Roll in Trophy Gold) are made when searching the Forest for clues of the other.\u003cbr\u003eChallenge Rolls (similar to the Risk Roll in Trophy Gold) are made when facing a threat of the Forest directly.\u003cbr\u003eEnticements tie both characters more closely together as Tokens may be exchanged to heal Scars and change Instincts.\u003cbr\u003eEpilogues\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThere are 3 ways the game can end:\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eA player gains 3 Tokens, narrating their first reaction when both characters meet.\u003cbr\u003eThe Forest gains 3 Tokens, and a growing horror engulfs both players.\u003cbr\u003eA player gains 3 Scars, and is mourned by the other in an epilogue.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eCredits\u003cbr\u003eGame design and writing: Gabriel Robinson\u003cbr\u003eLayout: Cathode Youth\u003cbr\u003eCover and interior art: Ezra Rose\u003cbr\u003eAdditional art: Madeleine Ember\u003cbr\u003eAdditional contributions by: Michael Van Vleet, Linda Codega, Noora Rose, Mags Maenad, Pam Punzalan and Rae Nedjadi.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWatch a game of Token with designer Gabriel Robinson and Tony at Plus One Exp: at https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/sKKGKx93oJ4\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e","brand":"Glowing Roots Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":40606190862415,"sku":"GRP02","price":16.5,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1380\/9101\/products\/token.png?v=1680186973","url":"https:\/\/zodiakhairteam.se\/products\/token","provider":"Flexsoft solutions","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
