Very cool, are the covers easy to attach to the card?

yeah you just lay them over the card that needs its status changed. the opacity on the art is low so its transparent. i already use a ton of dice marking health durability and hero health. shadow energy thought this would eliminate some more dice usage

Nice!

Well i invented this nifty trick of "Status Covers" i made one for each status ill let some pics do the talking Attachment 3843Attachment 3844Attachment 3845

Genius!!!!

If I played physical I would buy these.

That's really cool! I love to have those cool status sleeves!

[Geckt]

Ok that's really a nice way to differentiate the status of allies.

So I managed to get my hands on some cool looking beads that are used for TCGs like MTG. I actually bought a LOT. So if anyone of you is attending the Gen con in Indianapolis (http://gencon.com) this year, you pick some up from me. (I hope to go, but AirAsia terminated the low-cost flight to london, throwing a wrench into my plans....so fingers crossed...)



The tip is always let your opponent put the shadow energy bead for you at the END of his turn. Otherwise, it's too easy to forget to add the shadow energy for yourself on your own turn. It also acts as an indicator that your opponent has finished his turn.

Even with 10 beads, the card description can still be seen. See below:



I also found some cool looking plastic 'crystals' but as you can see, they are too big:



WYSIWYG:





Elritch gems comes in nicer colors and slightly bigger size (hence slightly better):

They are $2.50, I am selling mine at just USD $1 (yes, with the box!) . (If I am going to Gencon)

And I guarantee that there are 25 pieces inside. 12 Blue, 12 Lavender (+1 either color) (Elritch has 22 - 25 of 1 SINGLE color)

It's better to have 2 colors: so that each player knows whose shadow energy belongs to whom and there is no confusion in the event of table bumps/minor earthquakes.

Of course, that is if I am going to Gencon at all.

(For all the players in the Singapore group, just get them from me Free-of-charge. Buy your own box/container though. )

The next meet up date should be fun. I can show you guys my 30 sided dices and let u guys see why it's not a great device to count life. (Apps are still first choice)

Geckt and I should be getting some stuff from atomzed and vice versa. Geckt or I should be ordering some dice from

http://www.thediceshoponline.com

But I suppose atomzed can buy them from UK game shops?

If you need anything from the dice shop online, let us know.

(PS: I am still damm sore that AirAsia cancelled KL-London flights...)

I miss Berdugo, haven't seen him since the very first meetup.

Those status covers are a great idea! This whole thread is sweet, +2 Raph.
