Tokens Galore!

[wynteriii]

Since I don't want spend all my money on Mini's, I have decided to get only PC minis and use tokens for Monsters/NPCs.

Now I have the problem of tokens coming out of my ears after I've bought:

1.Dungeon Master Kit
2.Monster Vault
3.Shadowfell
3.Threat On The Nentir Vale

While I'm thinking about getting "Madness at Gardmoore Abbey"(Should I?) I need a way to organize them without using ziploc bags. I'm thinking some plano boxes but any ideas would be great (I know about the pog container idea). I love pics!

I have no advice on the tokens question, as I use MapTool for my games.

But I would say yes, get Madness at Gardmore Abbey! I've been having a blast running it (the most recent session recap just went up today).

Quickleaf, do the three big drawers also have dividers. The shadowfell and Nentir Vale together have the same amount of tokens as another monster vault. I would like to get this, but I would need to know if it truly has enough room. I just spent money on a Satchel that I could fit all my books as well as prepared encounters.

I'm not sure about that particular model, but the smaller clear plastic boxes that side load are perfect for medium sized tokens. If you're ordering online you'll want to do some research, but if you've got an art store or tackle shop nearby you can find one just right for you. The cool thing about Plano is their stuff is (mostly) interchangeable.

Now that I have all the tokens I would ever need, I need a way to categorize and organize them all, please help.

This is what I use to organize my D&D tokens.

I'm still new to all this as well and have been having a token organization issue as well. I found these coin boxes (for 500 yen coins) with a flip top lid. They've been useful so far.
I have a separate one for tokens that I plan to use during the game, prepping them while planning the encounters.

So yeah, I'm not sure what size coin in your country is the same size as the tokens, but coin related organization is certainly useful.

Actually, that little drawer thing that [MENTION=36754]Kynn[/MENTION] uses is a pretty cool idea.

Right now I have used just Ziploc bags and a card identify what it is (Zombies,Skeleton, Dragon). Now with the other tokens, I might do the same thing but have a seperate category for groups (Iron Circle, Death Watch). Whatever I do in the future, I know I will be paying $40-$70 bucks.

Right! After reading that article, a nice tackle box is about 40 bucks!! Well, not sure I'm ready to make that investment yet, but possibly in the future.
