Thanks, they're really the only tokens you'd need for the game.  They cover the major conditions your characters can have:



Wounded (blood splatter)
Shocked (yellow triangle)
Moving Fast (orange double arrows)
Hiding (blue circle)
Empty (black shell)

Looks like I'll actually have a TON of these available (bought 4-5' square of each colour...and they're small tokens).  I'll be buying them in batches, and if no one wants them for Shoot N' Skedaddle I'll just sell them off on ebay.  Should be maybe $10 shipped for a batch of 25-30 depending on how I pair them up.  I have to get the costs from Lee at Tri-City (he charges by the hour, so he'll let me know how much it costs to cut a full 1' square sheet etc.).

I figure tokens can be used for a boatload of games, so why not.  lol  The initial acrylic order I made was when I was still considering trying the Kickstarter.

DICE FOR SHOOT N' SKEDADDLE

For those who are interested in buying some matched dice (dice which match the colour/type on the SnS cards) I'll list the Chessex types here:



PQ0608 Black/White d6 w/ #'s $0.55

PQ0804 Red/White d8 $0.55

PQ1202 Yellow/Black d12 $0.55

PQ2005 Green/White d20 $0.55

I'd suggest 5 of each (the most dice you'd roll at once would be five).  I have about 20 of each, but I run conventions so I bought a bunch to have two boxes, and some spares in case people wander off with them etc.  You can order them directly from Chessex.  I don't know if any shops sell individual Chessex dice directly.

IMPORTANT: These are in no way necessary...but just an added bonus that the dice will match the icons on the cards for character stats and weapon stats etc.  You could use any dice you have on hand.

Nice tokens, will they be shipping worldwide?

And for individual dice you can get them here http://www.thediceshoponline.com/specialist-dice/151/Opaque-Dice-Dice-Sets in the UK and Europe.

Gut...they "could" be shipped worldwide...but as with all things, it gets silly expensive the way USPS is running right now.  I don't know if I could make it worthwhile to ship a small envelope of plastic.  I'd be happy to do so, but I'm afraid the cost would be silly.

The other interesting option would be a bulk purchase by a handful of UK players of several sets of tokens - I'd ship the whole package to one person and he could toss them in a local envelope to the others.  I dunno.  lol

When I see the international shipping charges from the U.S. I'm not surprised why no one buys stuff from here.  It's simply ridiculous.  :?

I completely understand. Even home shipping is damned expensive these days. I do buy stuff from a couple of manufacturers in the States (Brigade Games, Red Box, Armorcast) but only usually when I have a bulk order or shipping is on promo.

Thinking about the tokens, I can probably get similar from Fenris Games or Dead Mans Hand tokens have most of what I'll need. It was just a case of supporting the venture at the source which I try to do as often as I can.

Eh, no big deal.  The only reason I had him cut some out and I ordered some acrylic was to have demos on hand if I had pursued the Kickstarter (one of the game packages would have come with tokens etc.).  Now that I have the acrylic etc, I'll just cut some out.  I may have him just use some of it for other tokens for other games etc.  They're not overly unique...just convenient.

I'll be making a whopping $2.29 per copy of the game which sells, and I'll be making maybe $1.00 on the tokens  lol  This is not much of a money making deal here.  :D

Well I should get my cards in the mail shortly...and I received a big honkin' box full of plastic this morning...



The tokens come with facing paper on them, which needs to be removed.  I'll probably do this as I sell each set.  That's a LOT of fingernail work...(around 3,000+ tokens...)  I'll do the math and come up with a token pack which will sell for a very reasonable price.

Token sets now available to buyers in CONUS (International orders, contact me to see if it's worthwhile).



50 tokens for $20.00 shipped.

For each additional set of tokens add $12, as the shipping/package/trip to the post office is saved.

I have plenty, so no one needs to buy them for solely SnS purposes.  They could be used for a number of other games I'm sure.

Just PM me and I'll shoot you my paypal email address.

PS: Because of the large amount of tokens I have, I will also be willing to sell sets of 10-20 of each individual token to people for a reasonable cost.

Decided to try out my new camera and super ghetto lighting...which unfortunately did not work.  Oh well, some pictures of the always gorgeous 4Ground/DMH buildings.

PS: Before anyone says anything...no, I could not iron out the crease in the fabric! :D











Here is the final set of cards (will have some very minor changes)




Lawman Special Deck (36 cards)


Outlaws Special Deck (36 cards)


Weapon Deck (72 cards)


Character Deck (40 cards)


What you'll need for a proper game of Shoot N' Skedaddle (you could skimp on the tokens if you must!)

Oh, and here...introducing the town of Casa Grande (big house...and the name of the town in Arizona I was stationed out of...)








The adobe buildings are all from Crescent Root studios out of Tucson, AZ.

GIVEAWAY CONTEST...OR...LOTTERY!

As I'm making minor changes to the decks from this set (some are rather trivial), I will be ordering one more final set of cards.  I've decided that since this forum has been so receptive and helpful, I will be picking a name from the hat so to speak of the people here who offered to proof-read my rules.  The lucky person will receive a free set of SnS cards courtesy of...well...me.  lol

I believe I had about 8-10 people proof-read them, so your chances are good.  I'll dig up the email list tomorrow, let you guys know who's in the running, and then pick a winner! (and I'll pray you don't live in Australia!)  :D

I'm still butting my head against the wall trying to sort out two final characters, and then the cards will be on sale officially!  PDF is being worked on still, and will lag behind the release of the cards.  I'm also going to try to update my blog, and start tutorial videos (a living rulebook so to speak) sometime in the next few days, depending on my class work load.
