Larry comes back to tell Rich and me all about True Dungeon tokens! These tokens are critical to the success of any True Dungeon adventure. There are so many tips Larry shares with us: Buying, trading, selling tokens. Most common types like trade tokens, reserve, monster bits, transmuted, legendaries and artifacts! and of course tips on how to transport these very expensive and valuable items.
We also discuss some True Dungeon news and correct some errors from our first episode about True Dungeon.
If you're new to TD, listen to our 3rd episode. It is all about True Dungeon, before diving into this guide. This guide is indented more for intermediate players or new players that are looking at their stack of tokens wondering what to do with them.

This week we are joined by returning guests Rob Croy and Ben from The Table is Yours Podcast. They're here to talk about RPGs set in the east, Samurai Drama role-playing games specifically. We only had time for 4 games but it was a lot of fun.
We run the gamut from old-school 1e Dungeons and Dragons: 'Oriental Adventures', to 'Legend of the Five Rings' (4th Edition by AEG), to 'Blood and Honor' another John Wick game, and lastly the completely strange and unique 'Reflections' which turns out to be a draw dropping game and concept.
Don't have time to read all the little stories that come with your L5R LCG card packs?! TTIY has you covered with a new audio series. We're happy to broadcast that The Table is Yours is relaunching as an underground audiobook series of the new L5R fiction and literature published by Fantasy Flight.

Robert and Ben join Rich and me again to discuss Legend of Five Rings, the new card game. This episode focuses on the game itself, some basic strategy considerations and how layered the experience can be.
We get into the role that tournament winners play on impacting the game for every player in the future, uniquely this game changes after major tournaments in a way that no other game has attempted with player decisions impacting the story, and even the game rules for individual clans.
