Just fyi, for the promo, I inked the sides of all of the cardboard stuff. It makes them look better and will protect them better against water. Just use a sharpie marker and/or permanent markers (don't linger and stain your chits!) Notice the picture below. For the character stand-ups, I did the actual colors of the backgrounds (yellow, orange, magenta, etc.) the Stance markers on the stand-ups, I just inked black (with the sharpie). DON'T USE A STINKY MARKER LIKE A MAGNUM MARKER. Also, I sorted all the promo stuff into snack-sized zyplock bags. Anybody have any other preservation tips?

For the rest of the pictures, see "Wheatridge Colorado Valahlla's games report" on the Emporer's Decree page.

P.s. Notice we're playing on the Window Stickerl, which we thought at the time was a "battlemat"..and worked well as such!

This card box works great!

Now that I've said that, I sleeved all my cards. Since I've done that, the big cards only fit at a slight angle (which is not a problem for me). They also take up so much room once sleeved, I had to transfer them to a second box. So now I have 1 box with all the cards (and plenty of room for more) and one box with everything else in it.

Has anyone tried sorting the action cards in a "book" format using sleeve pages? Seems like that might help ease of access and sharing them between players.

I thought about that, but they are 2 sided and you may have to put tokens on them. That would make turning the page a pain. You could write on the pockets with a wet or dry erase though I suppose.

You only need ot turn the page when they change stances from one side to another. The only time a card doesn't turn is if there are recharge tokens on it already.

Now, an interesting option might be to invest in some small sheet magnets. Have some colored metal tokens. When the sheet flips, if a card has tokens on it, slide a strip of magnet in with the card before flipping and voila, the metal recharge tokens stay on the reverse side until you take them off. This will require a little bit of flipping to remove the recharge tokens. Alternately, just flip the card in the sheet and move the tokens from one side to another, then flip the card back to the "current" side once the recharge tokens are gone.

Unless they are in different stances, or need cards that are on a different page.

Many sleeve pages can hold sleeved cards in them; I was thinking they could just be pulled out for sessions and stored in the pages. Might be cumbersome.

Given you cant use an action card while its in recharge does the stance of it realy matter?

I am presuming as soon as the action has recharged it is fliped to your current stance anyway.

I was thinking something similar. Use the card pages for the "master" set of action cards and let the players keep their "in play" cards in their little character keeper boxes. That could also be a way to cut down on the number of sleeves needed. You could let the players flip through the book when looking to gain a new action card and only sleeve the ones taken out for use. The drawback to the pages is if you alphabetize them, you have to do a bit more work to integrate cards from expansions.

Oh! Here's one.

On the front and back cover of your book, near the spine, is a crease. I carefully folded the covers (front and back / all books) and limbered up that crease. That way, when you open the books, the stiff covers don't pull the pages away from the spine.

I've been wearing my books out and they are still in near perfect condition.

Happy Thanksgiving.
