The main reason is I play on-line games, but the few face-to-face games I haven't used them. I'm curious to see what you come up with and how you implement them.

And have tried many variations. Some advice:<br /><br />Don't use cards for coins, or ammunition. It's too much. If it's not a "resource important" campaign I'll just use cards for magic items (assuming party has what they need esp at higher level)<br /><br />Give each character a heavy duty ziplock. End of session they put loot cards (and index card sized char sheets :), in da bag. Bag stays with DM (optional)<br /><br />Commercial cards never cut it. Aren't enough, never right type, hard to customize, usually playing card size, too big. <br /><br />I've used 3x5 notecards cut in half for treasure (art, sculpture, rugs, etc). Old CCG's cut out with circle punch and glued to something (card, pokerchip), CCG great for monsters and npc too btw.<br /><br />But, the best (right size, cheap) I've found is business cards (I'm still recycling ones from previous jobs but new ones are cheapish). I have a stack of pre-made ones, but a Sharpie and 15seconds I can whip up new ones at the table.<br /><br />I've used envelopes (with multiple cards inside) to represent chests, sacks etc. Sometimes one of the cards is a trap or chance for disease. Whatever player grabs envelope is affected. <br /><br />Cards (and envelopes) help thieves keep their thievery from the party.Norman J.
