thanks for the tokens. much appreciated!

used to play talisman (2nd edition) when i was a kid, and now, decided to pick up the latest version to play w/ my kids and the miniatures in the sets just didn't do it for me. found your website, which albeit a little confusing, is a treasure trove of information and resources. i especially liked the painted miniatures you got but, as you mentioned, if i had those, i'd never use them b/c they looked so great.

these token cards are just the right thing for me b/c the graphics are so brilliant and really help w/ the immersion (vs the colorless miniatures). i plan to print them out on photo stock paper on my inkjet.

what are you doing for the stands? i see three options.

1. fantasy flight has clear plastic stands which look ok (i'd want to rough them up and paint them though). can't really get a decent detailed picture of one though - only the 10 pack picture.

2. i see an earlier link to a game part store but, their forum has some dodgy customer service posts so i'm reluctant to go to them. they do carry 2 types of stands - of which, i'd get the large game stand which look simple.

3. make my own stands - get some wood and cut 1"w x 1"l x .5"h (roughly) blanks, cut a groove in the middle somehow, and paint them. or something like that… guess i could use some heavy card stock as well.

i'm open to ideas though.

I used these: http://www.boardgameextras.co.uk/item.php?id=1196&name=+rectangular+card+stand&cat=283&sub_cat=0#.URKD62f18is

The FFG bases are designed for very thick card standees only. Not suitable at all for ones printed at home!

thanks for that info. i eventually found some photos of it and you're right.

here's my final product. the base set isn't in the photos b/c i had put them in the box already.

my thoughts… if i had to do it again, i'd just buy those stands. took much too long to make my own wooden ones. it's a little hard to tell, but the Grim Reaper and Werewolf tokens are larger and i made them w/ black edges.

now, off to replace the little cones b/c i can't grab them w/ my sanded fingertips!

Do you have a larger res pic you can share? I'd really like to see these up close! Good job!

sorry for the late reply.

i uploaded a couple more pics on the boardgame site (which i'm slowly learning to navigate better) - just linking the medium sized version for ease of loading. the sharp-eyed may notice a couple of missing ones… i found the printed image just now that i forgot about - you can see a hint of them just off to the side. heheh. (also, don't have Frostmarch yet)

Very nice! It's good to know that the tokens are getting some use.
