Hi all!
I make tabletop game tokens, and I’m planning to design a set for miscellaneous objects in the game world. I’ve already got a draft list (chests, trees, campfires, healing potions, etc.) But I’m curious to hear from others, what item tokens do you use or wish you had in your collection? Are there any specific ones you’d like to have?
Thanks, appreciate any and all feedback.
My group plays using tools to do everything online, so it depends on who is DMing. Personally, I like doing it all by hand. I just free hand a crude chest or something to represent items.
Makes sense; I’m mainly focused on making physical tokens. I have free download packs of all the assets in case there are people out there who like using them for VTTs, but it’s pretty vanishingly rare that people access them; I think the physical tokens are mainly what people have need of for in-person games.
For sure. Finding actual things to use in an in person session can be especially hard even with the internet, where as the virtual tools are inundated with options to the point it can even be overwhelming. Mostly it’s pretty generic though; something super unique or especially well done would likely grab more attention for even the virtual toolset people. :)
I think doors, gates, and levers would be useful!
Clue tokens.
Horses, wagons and carts, trapdoors open and closed (to do a reveal), ladders/rope ladders—-basically the key is, things that move or players might want to move during an encounter. If it doesn’t need to be moved then it can be fixed when building the setting or just dropped into chat as an image.
Got it! I had horse tokens already (with both creature and item theming), and wagons and carts were included in the proposed set I put together based on the pointers I got.
Nice!
If you’ve got plans for physical items represented w/ tokens, how about status effects too? Slowed, Buffed, Stunned, etc.
Hm… right, it’s a good idea, although I do think there are existing options that are pretty good already. So I made these tokens initially because I couldn’t find tokens I was happy with – I know that on Etsy there are some pretty good options for the little condition rings with 1-inch interiors (i.e. compatible with my and others’ tokens).
