There's Treasure Inside SR Exclusive
Summary Dungeons & Dragons fans have a chance to go on an actual quest with a chest of treasures at the end thanks to Jon Collins-Black, who has spent five years creating a real-life treasure hunt that any adventuring party can participate in with his book, There's Treasure Inside, offering all the clues necessary to find the loot. A hoard fit for a dragon, the treasure is spread out across the United States in five chests.
"1983 Basic Players Box Set with The Red Dragon On A Hoard Of Treasure" Inspired The Treasure Jon Collins-Black Cultivated This seems so cool. It feels like you get to go on an actual quest in real life for treasure, which I am all about. I have a D&D group and I will for sure be like, "We have to do this, guys.
I think that in reference to D&D , we could talk more about that, but once it had the impetus of like, I'm going to do this thing. I'm going to create a treasure hunt. I got to put a treasure together. I want to put a really cool treasure together. What in the world am I going to put together? The first image that came to my mind was probably influenced by that 1983 basic players box set with the red dragon on a hoard of treasure and the guy's got the sword.
Jon Collins-Black: Well, I guess we'll find out, right? We'll find out how well I did. Because it's really challenging. I think one of the reasons it took me almost five years to do everything, to write the book, to get the treasure, to hide the treasure, all the different aspects of it, is because I couldn't really collaborate. I didn't want anyone else to have the pressure or responsibility of being in the know.
"The Book Uses That Theme Of We're All Treasure Hunters" Can you talk to me a little bit about the process of writing the book and finding ways to gamify this? We're all treasure hunters. So the book uses that theme of we're all treasure hunters. So there are things that we can learn through the stories of these items that might inform us on how to become the best treasure hunter we can be whatever it is we want to become, or whatever it is we want to acquire in life.
My dad's favorite was a sapphire and diamond broach from Jackie Onassis when she was in the White House. And he was like, "Are you sure you want to put this in the treasure box? Are you sure? You don't want to just keep this here?" And I was like, "Yeah, I want to keep it here, but I have to put it in the box."
One of the things that I think is very cool about this is that you make a point to say, anyone can do this. This is not crazy, super hard where it's going to be impossible. Anyone can do this. Why was that so important for you, as not only a theme in your book, but just thematically for this entire experience?
