CoinSides Adventure Sparks

Sparks are side-quests which can be inserted into nearly any existing adventure. Some details and characters have been kept intentionally vague so you can plug in the best fitting Sparks into your home campaign. While CoinSides are not required, all Sparks have a coin as the central story element.

Token Appreciation

Background

Love tokens are legal tender coins that have been altered in some way to act as a token of remembrance and affection between lovers who have been separated by circumstance.

Often this takes the form of smoothing down the faces of the coin, hand engraving initials or a message or a personal design, notching the edges, or outright bending the coin so that it cannot be mistakenly used.

Every love token is unique to the couple that crafts them, and can also be used as a means of establishing a relationship, presenting the love token as an offering. Acceptance means feelings are reciprocated, rejection dooms the union.

While the coins themselves rarely have any more value than the original denomination they went for, certain collectors can covet them for their unique design and personal history.
