One of my buds wants to get our Star Frontiers Voltrunus adventure going again for Christmas. We have not played in quite a while and one of the blockers for me was that the encounter we were playing used the forest map and AD counters. Well, I lost the counters years ago so I was using paper printed copies of the counter from an excel sheet of counters I found on one of the SF sites. Problem with these is that they are paper thin and hard to pick up or keep in place. A slight wind in the room would blow the counters all over. Then worse yet, keeping the counters in place until the next game session a week later was a pain. Well, the game session kept getting delayed and eventually the pieces were knocked all over the place. My solution to get the game going again is shown here.<br /><br /><img src="/files/u6530/DSCF2239.jpg" alt="Magnetic AD Counters" title="Magnetic AD Counters" height="480" width="640" /><br /><br />I purchased some 1/4 inch magnet tape, cut 1/4 inch pieces and stuck the paper counters to them and put a copy of the AD box map on a metal plate. Now I am safe from wind and game delays, plus I can easily pick the counters up like the original box set counters.
