Monster tokens made from plastic or metal?
I don't own any of the 4Ed tokens, but I get the impression they're made of cardboard? I have only one problem with this: durability. In my 30+ years as a gamer, I've seen cardboard pieces tear, burn, and destroyed by spilled liquids.
In the same span of time, certain possessions of mine of similar thickness made of plastic or metal have proven to be virtually indestructible...at least to accidental destruction.
Plastic tokens could be produced with vibrant colors. Metal ones could be coinlike. Thinking ahead, RFID chips or magnetic data stripes- or similar tech- could be placed in them containing full game data on each.
So the tech is there to make tokens into something more...but would you BUY them?
