Starship Counters

I also did a series of spaceship counters.  Also on my deviant art site. 

Space Game Counters

They are intended to be fairly generic.  Use them with whatever game you want.  I created them for use with one of my own ship combat games.  In my game designs, I tend to use single letters to represent ship classes.  The sharp eyed amongst the readers may notice that my icon is a ship counter from the gold fleet.  (In my setting its a Destroyer from the Imperial fleet.  I can't help it, I really like that ship design.)

These are "double fold counters".  That is each counter is a vertical strip of three squares.  Two squares for the front and back of the counter, and a "glue" square.  The counters are arranged in 5 rows of 10 vertical counter strips each.  This makes 50 counters per sheet. Each fleet sheet is set up to do either a small task force, or print more for larger fleets.  When printed in portrait orientation, the final counters should be about 5/8 inch square.  Printing in landscape orientation should make them about 1/2 inch...I think...


I used MS Paint to make these.  Yes! Paint!  lol.  Simple, but it does the job.

Production procedures:

1) Print them on "cheap" photo paper.
2) Each counter has an open white square for numbering.  Number them now if desired.
3) Each "row" is a 10 counters wide.  Cut them apart on the horizontal separations.
4) horizontal lines are the "folds".  Fold each back so you get a "C" shape cross section.
5) Put some paper glue on the word "glue", fold it down, and the front side on top of it.  The front and back of the counter should be on the outside, and the glue square sandwiched in between.  You will have strips of counters.
6) Put the strips of counters on a sheet of paper towel.  When all strips are assembled, place another sheet of paper towel over the strip of counters.  Place a heavy object on top of the paper towels (like a board, or large book).
7) Wait about a day for the counters to dry.
8) Cut the counters apart on the separations.
Done!

About me...

Hi there!

A little about me...

My gaming interests includes starship combat games, some scifi rpgs, and some simple rules lite wargaming.  One of my favorite hobbies is to generate my own games/rules.

My game rules are mostly a moment's doodles, to try out an idea.  A few have been worked out to greater detail.  I have no illusions that any of these are publishable. 

I did create a simple role playing game: StarCadets, and it's much expanded version: Single Page Adventures.  They are free!  Give em a try!  ... If you do anything cool, let me know...

I also made a "Horse Artillery Marker" for BattleCry.

(I have to look the addresses of this stuff.  Will post them later. Sorry.)

First post.

Hi There!

This is my little area where I hope to post game related things...Stay Tuned!
