[QUOTE="Gilladian, post: 5894689, member: 2093"] I have been using item cards for magical items, alchemical items, and for tracking consumables (rations, arrows) but not standard gear, for years now. I use blank 4x6 cards. I put the name of the item, the weight, the cost, and the description, including caster level, etc... For consumables, I print the number there were when they found/purchased the item, and then they use tick marks to track usage during the game. I don't bother with ownership, because my PCs love to trade items around, and putting a name on it makes cards less re-usable in future games. I now have about 30 CLW cards in my stash... I retrieve cards as the items are used, and I generally print magic items up before the game, although sometimes they surprise me and I do it afterwards. After 4-5 campaigns of doing this, I have a pretty full box of cards that I've used over and over. If I was to go so far as to have art for each item, I would use magazine images or book art and paste them on the back of the cards. Sometimes I consider doing it, but the idea of keeping it up becomes too much. [/QUOTE]
