So, I'm really bad at keeping track of what pawn his who is massive fights.
I also really like chocolate and so do my friends.
So last game I decided to use chocolate kisses as pawns.
Since they were wrapped I put numbers on their undersides to keep things clear in my brain.
has anyone else done things like this with pawns?
We use whatever's handy. Especially when random encounters are involved. I have enough trouble acquiring and organizing known possible combatant pawns in a manner that doesn't interrupt the game whilst I rummage through my stuff.
"See this Buddha bookend? That's a cloud giant."
I remember when we were playing Second Darkness. The GM used this huge piece of Styrfoam that he paint to look like a cliff wall. Characters were pinned to the side where they were flying or climbing and we were attacked we were attack by Ropers and what not. I think there was even an illusion of a Glabrezu that he had a "mini" for.
A twoonie (28 mm) takes up four 1-inch squares. I often use them for large creatures.
I use flat-sided multi-colored floral glass beads for lotsa low-level hordes.
Salt shakers, seashells, and gathered rocks have also been used for monsters. I keep a collection of them handy and just designate them as necessary.
