I was at work thinking about how I was going to implement 'Marked' when 4E comes out, the first idea popping into my head being poker-chips or something similar. They come in different colours and so can represent marks from multiple opponents, they're readily and cheaply available for us poor students - seems perfect!
But then I thought about large/huge minitures and how silly it would be to have to keep lifting a mini up to see which color marker it had underneath. Some minis you could place the chip on top of or between the legs of, but others really would look terrible.
And what about bloodied? cursed? poisoned? slowed? charmed? sooner or later you would think a character was flying with how high their mini was stacked with chips!
Being as I work in an Electronics store however I soon came across a solution - short lengths of shielded wire! They come in a multitude of colors (and with a permanent marker you can even personalize some with different patterns), they're dirt cheap, you can get them practically anywhere (Have some old Cat5 laying around? Just cut it open!), they are very flexible and can easily be draped over/at the base of a mini, they take up almost no room, etc.
So I was wondering what other ideas you guys had for cool condition markers, let's have 'em!
