Second, I mean woah... hold up there a bit. Buhallin might have been a bit direct, but it's not fair to say they were on a mad mission to be right and win and crush all dissent either. I actually think this game has a pretty nice community. We're fans of the game here, what disagreements we have sprout from trying to help others to enjoy the game as we do. Dissent is built out of friendship, not malice. And I'll be the first one to stand up and say what I think of a card, whether I think it's bad or good, and argue my case, but we don't have trolls here. When we voice opinions it is with a direction to help people comprehend and use strategies we feel have been effective for us.
Even in the case of the chaos bag, comments here should be aimed at helping people to enjoy the game more. I started the thread because I felt that the experience I was having was not what the designers of the game had intended. I felt I was getting insufficiently random results from the chaos bag I possessed and was looking to see if others had a similar problem and what they did to fix it. I can't imagine that the designers intended that a token getting stuck in the corner of a chaos bag and never getting drawn was supposed to be in some way "part of the game". An app certainly would be one way of ensuring randomness.
Of course, it's clear in the OP that an app wasn't what I was looking for =D, I was looking for a physical solution. Of note, since the OP I switched to a larger chaos bag, with rather a large amount of space for the tokens to move in, and I think it helps, but I don't think it solves the problem completely. I'm still looking for any tricks, anywhere from giving the bag a shake to making a totally newly designed bag. So let's keep things on that topic.
Um, we did? Multiple folks have suggested coin capsules, not for protection, although considering I first got the idea from the Arkham Chronicle YT channel, that HAS to be part of it, but you'll find that plastic and cloth are bit like oil and water, while cloth and cardboard are not. (A bit closer to Velcro really.)
