I thought that was the case, based on my reading of the rules. But in the entire game I don't think we encountered a single card with the word "gain" on it in reference to a rune token. It was always "receive" or "place," so I started to wonder. Hopefully it'll be clearer next game.
Ah, sorry, I had my terms mixed up. Replace "GAIN" with "RECEIVE" in my above post. There are a few cases where "GAIN" is used, but in those cases, it is synonymous with "RECEIVE". (This was clarified via a response from the designer way back when).
"PLACE", however, is still different. On page 30 of the Revised Edition rules, there is a sidebar talking about "Receiving Dragon Runes". Right underneath the numbered list, though, is a paragraph talking about things that tell you to "place (or move) rune tokens to specific areas".
I hope this helps :)
Incidentally, not to toot my own horn TOO much, but in the files section is a document titled "Rulings from Corey" (or something similar). That's a document containing a lot of rulings from the designer over various things. I have to update it with some more recent rulings (that I keep procrastinating), but everything in there is from a response from Corey K. directly (IE, not just "fan speculation" or logical deduction).
