Lootables! chits or pogs

 At present, there are 7 different Lootables! chit/pog sets for treasures. These are printed from our own Inventory digital sets, so if you have some of those, you already have some great tools to use with these! We've matched most of these inventory sets within the existing sets to make it easier for you.

Each set of 40 chits is first printed on 12 point matte cardstock, both the front and the back. The front shows the item to be found, and the back has a few lines if you wish to jot a couple quick numbers or names down. For future sets, we are looking into having the back made with dry erase (so if you know a good printer for that, let us know!). The cardstock is then glued to a medium chipboard and set to dry.



After drying, each card set is punched one at a time on a press, using a die we modified to create a punch out card. We've also included the names of each piece below the chit for the user. 


The end results are beautifully hand punched cards that our customers can punch out for their own use, or save some back for easy storage. These chits can be used over and over for rpg gaming, across a wide platform of fantasy, sci-fi, or post apocalyptic tabletop games. 


Our Lootables! chit sets so far: 

Woes, Weals, Blessings & Curses: Who says only treasure awaits inside? Woes and Weals reveal a minor fortune or misfortune that may befall a character in the coming 1-4 rounds; and sometimes, an item can come with a Blessing or Curse! Can they pass the curse on to another, or turn it into a blessing? Who knows? 


Of A Druidic Nature: Weapons, wands, spell stones, and numerous baubles and bits created through nature and the spell magic of the druids. 



Potions!: Partial filled, Full, small and large potions of all kinds of colors await your players. What kind are they? Maybe take a swig and find out!



Gems, Crystals, Coins & Rarities: Gold and silver ores, or refined coins, ivory, amber, maybe even some raw diamonds. Let your players find out how to turn raw materials into finished gems. 



Miscellaneous Treasure: An odd smattering of coins, spellbooks, rings, wands and more. Some fun things, some gross things, but overall very cool things. 


Alchemy 1: Lots of herbs and spices to get rid of lices (ok, it's a bad rhyme, but we're artists not wordsmiths). Great for treasure hunts where all teh ingredients need to be gathered for a cure!


Alchemy 2: A continuation of Alchemy including all sorts of herbal necessities and bits for that spellcaster in your group!

Lootables!

Review by Eternity Gaming


One of the other products we’re rather proud of, as it’s turned into a huge hit with our personal gaming group (and Gaming Geek’s fans), is Lootables. As games like Diablo have shown us, people love the fun of slaying an enemy then looting everything they’ve got. And the Lootables pogs and tokens make gaining items much more dramatic for players.


These Lootables pogs allow you to fit minis into a plastic base, in which you can then place Lootables tokens like these Gems, Crystals, Coins, and Rarities. The result is a fight or encounter where the players get to actually “loot” the NPC. After the enemy is dead, they can remove the mini from the base, and pull out the tokens that are hidden underneath. Players get a rush of excitement (and usually shout) when they find that they’ve acquired something particularly juicy.


Lootables also works great if players decide to pick pockets, open up ancient treasure chests, or even open up random bags of goodies they purchased from a particularly charismatic merchant. You might also check out the blesses and curses Lootables. Players may think they’re getting something good by robbing someone, only to find that they’re now under a devious curse from an unhappy god, instead. Try them out for your tabletop game!

Whether you’re playing online and want to check out David Hemenway’s work on Fantasy City, or any of his other art, or you’re playing with your group in person and using Lootables, thank you for making us part of your tabletop gaming! We’re excited to provide all the goods for your next adventure.


Virtual Gaming and David Hemenway

 

Virtual Tabletop Gaming : Review by Eternity Gaming

If you haven’t tried it yet, now is a great time to look into virtual tabletop gaming. Even when your gaming group is available to play in your area, gaming online saves drive time. Plus, during the holiday season, you can play with friends and family, without the travel. Though it can be hard to beat the advantages (and fun) of seeing someone face-to-face for your TTRPG night, technology is helping us all get a little more RPG in our lives.



Fantasy City

We bring up virtual tabletop gaming because one of our great artists, David Hemenway (more on him, below), has a host of graphics and assets that are a perfect fit for online play. His Fantasy City set enables game masters to create custom towns for your RPG. The digital set comes with assets for buildings, roofs, chimneys, awnings, signs, bushes, streets... and really everything you need for the PC’s “home base.”


The great thing about David’s work is the custom factor. There are still versions of it out today, but there was a game for PS1 called “RPG Maker.” In that game – as the title suggests - you could design your own RPG. Then, you could invite your friends over and make them fight their way through the dungeons you created. Between quests, they could then get better gear, get instructions, and find rest in the towns you made.


Fantasy City, and its expansion sets, bring a level of new creative ability to your tabletop gaming sessions. Of course, you can always play using your own imagination and theater of the mind. But when you have access to graphics, especially during online play, why not build the town you’ve always imagined for your group? For those who love building worlds for your friends to adventure in, you need the flexibility to create towns the way you see them – not just stock images created by another map designer.


David Hemenway

The artist behind Fantasy City and a host of other titles is David Hemenway. You can see all his work by clicking this link. David’s products provide more asset options than you could ever find on any virtual gaming platform. Many have over 400 graphics. They can be mixed and matched, overlayed, and as mentioned above, used for custom – whatever you need. Virtually anything you can come up with as a setting for your game, you can find with us.
