Making Counters - dungeon debris & stuff to use
I'm looking either to make to find/print counters for use with tactical movement and actions.
I donot want to make, buy or store big props and 3D minis. I'm looking to make/print simple top-down versions of various "props" for heroes to hide behind, jump over, pick up, throw, etc...
I'm considering looking for photo images of "top-down" maps to find various things to use....
I'm looking to make a bunch of things to use, from:
- barrels
- boxes
- rocks, boulders
- carts, carriages
- horses
- trees, bushes
- boards, debris
- various cars, trucks, vehicles
- dumpsters
- vending machines
- light posts (both top down and lengths - to SWING)
- machinery
- mailboxes
and even big single piece outer building/inns templates
I'm thinking of using things for Super Hero RPGs mostly (because supers seem to USE items like that more, to throw or be thrown into!) but also could do double duty for ANY game genre.
Anyone have any suggestions from RPGs, board games, miniature games, or web sites for ideas, etc...
And please list ANY items that you think would be GREAT to include if you wanted to buy/print a PDF version of these things.
What are some other great "debris" materials??
thanks!
