[QUOTE="Hjorimir, post: 4311400, member: 5745"] Counters: Ingrediants: Good paper (I use 28 lb.) Some kind of backing board (I ordered a box of 8.5" x 11" picture boards...the kind they use to back a picture in a frame) Elmer's spray glue Matte coat spray Rolling pin Cutting surface (I have a "self-healing" cutting board...buy at craft shop) Straightedge with a rubber or cork backing (so it doesn't slide on you) Craft knife (I have one that is like a pizza cutter, which is great because the rolling action prevents tearing) 1) Prepare document (I personally use Excel) 2) Print document on nice paper 3) Take backing board and spray with glue 4) Carefully place sheet up backing board (easier than it sounds) 5) Carefully roll out from the center to the edges with the rolling pin to remove any air and form a good seal 6) Spray with matte coating to protect your counters (I'm lucky enough to have a color laser printer, so they look nice and I want them to last) 7) Let board dry (I usually just wait a day) 8) Cut out counters and toss into container of choice (zip-lock baggies, or I've had some luck using some craft boxes, which I think are designed to hold beads or something.) They look great...are heavy (very easy to move around) and are quite, quite durable. We use downloaded pictures for our characters on our character sheets and I use a zoom in on whatever picture the PC has to make a perfect counter for the players to use. Also, it's very easy to toss numbers or names on counters before you print them out when you need to track lots of hit points, conditions, etc. [/QUOTE]
