[QUOTE="Dannyalcatraz, post: 5238389, member: 19675"] Look online for inexpensive, out of print fantasy wargames. They'll have cardboard chits with illustrations on them that will be easily recognizable as one character or another. The Fantasy Trip is probably the largest set...but is so iconically good & popular that its also a killer on price.[url=http://www.google.com/products?client=safari&rls=en&q=buy+%22melee%22+the+fantasy+trip+wizard&oe=UTF-8&um=1&ie=UTF-8&ei=20M2TJu7PMH7lwe2z-zSBw&sa=X&oi=product_result_group&ct=title&resnum=11&ved=0CEgQrQQwCg]buy "melee" the fantasy trip wizard - Google Product Search[/url] However, [URL="http://www.darkcitygames.com/"]Dark City Games [/URL]uses much the same system...and in their download section, they have SJG-style paper/cardboard pieces in color, such as [URL="http://www.darkcitygames.com/downloads.php"]these[/URL].
