This is a site for discussing roleplaying games. Have fun doing so, but there is one major rule: do not discuss political issues that aren't directly and uniquely related to the subject of the thread and about gaming. While this site is dedicated to free speech, the following will not be tolerated: devolving a thread into unrelated political discussion, sockpuppeting (using multiple and/or bogus accounts), disrupting topics without contributing to them, and posting images that could get someone fired in the workplace (an external link is OK, but clearly mark it as Not Safe For Work, or NSFW). If you receive a warning, please take it seriously and either move on to another topic or steer the discussion back to its original RPG-related theme.

Counters (and how to store them)

I live in a small apartment with a girlfriend and two rats, and all 4 of us have way too much stuff and too little $$$. Therefore, I use counters instead of minis.

Love the Fiery Dragon Counter Collections and love making my own...but here's the problem: storage...

So for you fellow counter-users, what sort of containers/conveyances do you keep your counter collection in?

I used to have space in my "dice box" (a small semi-transparant hobby box with separate blocked off slots-similar to small tackle boxes) I now use a gray "school" box which is a plastic box with room for books and paper at the bottom and pencils and counters in the top.

I might suggest small ziplocks and a 3.5 card index box--organize your monsters alphabetically!

If I think about it, I'll take a picture of Paul's counters [spindles] and box. It's an excellent solution, rather like Silverlion's old one.

Plano 3750s have served my overly massive wargame collection well over the years.  Never had an issue with counter osmosis, even when I dropped my entire SL collection off a shelf a couple years ago.
For fuck\'s sake, these are games, people.

And no one gives a fuck about your ignore list.
