    Should we get a bit more?

    Hey guys, I recently thought of something useful. Well it's not more of an idea of mine but something that should be included with our physical cards. Counters. It does what it says counts. In the Pokemon TCG each pack of cards has counters which are cardboard circles with the numbers 5, 10, 20 and 50.. You place these cardboard pieces on a card to keep track of damage.

    So basically let's say Amber Rain attacks Nishavin for 5 damage. You'd place a "5" damage counter on nishavin. Then she attacks him for 20 damage. You'd put a "20" damage counter on the card along with a "5" damage counter to account for 25 damage. As for Shadow Energy we can also have counters for that but make the background purple for no confusion from damage to shadow counters.

    I'm not sure if we would get in trouble for taking this idea but if there's a loop hole we should really have these counters. It will in my opinion make the game more simple and enjoyable what do you guys think?

    Why not use two 10 sided dice and count down vs using counters to count up?

    Also there have been a couple of threads on ways to track everything physically.

    Not sure where to buy these dice. And what about allies? I have some decks that usually have 3+ allies on the field at once

    We use 1d6 dice for ally or weapon boost. Check out the JD in the following picture.

    For life and SE counters, we used Mtg Score (an iOS app).

    If its any comfort, I provided the Easley Dual Counters for use in our Singapore Meltdown Tourney last year. They are pretty useful as the counters go beyond 40.

    You can buy dice at most toy or hobby stores, and you can definitely find them at card/rp game stores. You can also get them off Amazon; I personally like these (available in a variety of colors), and two or three sets should cover all the dice you need for both players in most matches. Alternatively, since d10 is one of the most easily found dice and are very useful in Shadow Era, you can get sets like this one. Or, you can just go completely overboard and get these.
