[QUOTE="Bodhiwolff, post: 4512648, member: 71196"] It'd be interesting to see a combo of these two ideas. A gamer mat, permanently broken down into a set of 4 or 6 or 8 (or whatever-it-takes) cards, designed to lay out in various formats, but still with spaces to take poker chips as tokens to keep track of effects. Thus, you could have a health card, and a skills card, etc. Those things that don't change you put down with a marker. Those things that do change you keep track of using poker chips, or tokens, etc. That way your entire character can be carried around in a deck box (including a combat deck and skills deck, so you'll never even have to crack a player's handbook again!) and you can customize your own layout to a certain extent. Yet you still have the advantages of pre-calculations all done up for you (protected under sleeves) and the ease of tokens to keep track of those things that change quickly. A mat-made-of-cards, formatted ingeniously such that things don't get too crowded, and still pretty. Maybe even formatted to blend in nicely whatever Power Cards you're using (Grandpa's for my preference, since they have the space for calculations and I like that), but with the "character sheet" cards still having a slightly different-yet-cohesive style to them to tell them apart. If anybody comes up with a design, post it, and I'll gladly steal it! ('cause you've seen the lousy designs I come up with!) [/QUOTE]
