I was preparing to run the AoR Beginner Game adventures at the next local con, so I created my "famous" plastic stand inserts and play aids for both "Takeover at Whisper Base" and "Operation: Shadowpoint". For those of you who haven't seen these before, they're for use with 3x5, 5x7, 8.5x11, and 11x8.5 clear plastic stands which you can purchase at Office Depot, Staples, and the like. A few of the ones I did for "Beyond the Rim" look like this:
Anyway, I created a PDF that contains the 3x5 character inserts for all six beginning game characters, all relevant 5x7 pictures for the different scenes and encounters of both adventures (what I felt would help set the scene, at any rate), plus various maps and and checklists to aid in game play.
Here's an example of one of the new character inserts. Notice that it uses the newer AoR logo and colors:
Here's a 5x7 that shows the Lambda shuttle from the fourth "Whisper Base" encounter:
Here's a duty list that I created for "Operation: Shadowpoint" to help the players know what their various duties are, and to check whether or not it's been fulfilled:
Since I'm going to be running this at a con, I also created two propaganda-style "enlistment" posters that I plan on tacking on the walls outside the open gaming room to advertise the game. The artwork isn't mine
but I think they capture the WWII-like spirit to join the cause of the rebellion, and should catch some eyes. Feel free to use them if you also plan on running an AoR game at a convention.
