Character Keepers (Boxes)

By bercnall1name, in Warhammer Fantasy Roleplay

Just wondering if anyone knew of a good template for making the little cardstock boxes that came in the core set. I was hoping that the Toolkit would include another one, but it didn't, and I have this near-obsession with symmetry, so having three characters in boxes and 1 in a ziplock baggy is killing my sense of order. ;) (Although the toolkit did help me and my 4 players with the lack of "center" pieces for progress trackers/stance meters.)

I believe the Adventurer's Kit box itself was meant to be used as an additional character keeper.

Well, that may have been the intention, but it still doesn't serve my sense of symmetry! gui%C3%B1o.gif (And besides, that's where I store all the stuff I don't need during play, now.)

I hated the flimsyness of the keepers, so I got some small (6"x9") manilla envelopes that serve just as well, if not better. The ones I got have the string closures, but the metal tab closures would work too.

I'm using large sandwhich baggies. Cards won't slip through them like the cardboard boxes.

To be honest, all the storage provided by FFG so far (the main box and the character keepers) is pretty rubbish. I just wish FFG would come up with some quality storage especially for all the bits...specifically something for the GM for all the cards/tokens/sheets. I'm thinking some sort of hard plastic or card box with different compartments for all the different types of card and token with a lid would be a godsend.

While not absolutely necessary to have one, I do agree with that. I'll certainly be willing to buy a 'gm's toolbox' if there was one. It would be a nice touch. Perhaps a combined box and gm's screen all in one.

I heartily agree with the card/token keeper. Right now I'm using sandwich bags for the different decks and a bead/craft box for the counters. I really wish the cards had a better home.

And it seems to be that the consensus is that I should the boxes and use envelopes or bags for the player's characters, too. I guess that is symmetrical...
