Counters?

I recently acquired a copy of the Star Frontiers box set, and unsurprisingly some of the counters are missing.   I have a PDF file with all the counter pieces (scanned) on them but don't know where to get another set made.

Help?

Counters?

Most office supply stores should be able to print them from the PDF onto card stock or similar.

Go old school (hearkening back to the mini-games published in White Dwarf and Dragon during the 80's) ... print your pdf on plain paper and then glue it onto a sheet of card yourself (eg breakfast cereal packet) and cut the pieces out.  :>

Counters?

If you have a printer, check if it has an alternate paper feed for card stock.  You can buy card stock at any office supply store for pennies a sheet.  If you print on one, then glue another to it before cutting them out, it makes a very sturdy counter (but it is a challenge to cut it).

I recommend getting high quality scissors or even shears. If you don't have good grip strength you might hurt your hand before you cut it and if you're using cheap dull scissors they might break.

It depends on how many counters you're cutting out though.

Sorry, I forgot....Thanks for the advise so far.

I wanted to know about either plastic or pre-cut counters.

Might be able to set up a Cricut to do the cutting for you...

Counters?

a quick search turned up several counters for sale on ebay and amazon. If you are too lazy and have the disposable cash then that would be the best than the cheaper but more elbow grease alternative of printing the pdf and cutting it out yourself.
