What Are Tokens?
Tokens are Oneshot Incarnate's fair-play currency. They ensure that players and organizers are committed to showing up for games, creating a reliable and enjoyable experience for everyone.
Think of tokens as a refundable deposit - you only lose them if the game successfully happens. If plans change, you get them back automatically.
How Tokens Work
đ˛Spending Tokens
- Venue games: 1 token per game at partner venues like game stores
- Home games: ¼ token per game at approved homes
- When applied: Token is held (reserved) but not yet spent
- When finalized: Token is spent only after the game happens
âEarning Tokens
- Game Masters: Earn 1 full token back when you GM a session
- Organizers: Earn ½ token back for organizing (if not GMing)
- GM + Organize: If you GM your own game, you get 1 token (not 1.5)
- Net cost: GMing breaks even after rebate! Organizing costs only ½ token
Token Lifecycle
Apply to a Game
When you apply, 1 token is held (reserved) from your account. You can't use it for other games, but it's not spent yet.
Game Happens
After the game session, the organizer finalizes it. At this point, all held tokens are spent - permanently deducted from accounts.
Automatic Refunds
If you withdraw, get rejected, or the game is canceled, your token is automatically returned to your account. No questions asked.

Frequently Asked Questions
How do GM credits work?
Game Masters earn 1 full token back when they GM a session. If you organize and GM (which is common), you get the GM credit of 1 token - not both organizer and GM credits combined. You still need to have 1 token upfront to hold your spot, but you get it back after the session - net cost: $0.
What are home games?
Home games are sessions hosted at someone's home rather than partner stores. They cost only ¼ token to join, making them a more affordable option. Apply to host if you'd like to run games from your space!
Do tokens expire?
No! Tokens never expire. Buy them whenever and use them whenever you want.
Can I get a refund on tokens?
Tokens are non-refundable once purchased, but they're automatically returned to you if games are canceled. You never lose tokens unless a game actually happens.
Can I transfer tokens to friends?
Not currently, but this feature may be added in the future. Each user manages their own token balance.
