Card Stands - Help

No1newts · 1 Sep 2016 at 19:16

Hi all, for my D&D group I'll be using a whiteboard for a map so I can draw/annotate as we go. To help I'm after a circular base little card holders I can slot card in (funnily enough) to troresent PC's or monsters.

Thing is I have no idea where to find them, tried googling but can't think of wording to bring them up in a search.

Anyone know where I can find something like I'm describing?

Thanks

Are you after something like this?

Unsure if I'm allowed to link other shops here, so google "plastic card game stands" and the top result (a board games shop) should have both rectangle card holders and oval card holders for 11p each.

Alternatively Paizo has official bases for the Pathfinder Pawns they sell of monsters and characters.
They sell boxes of 20 medium bases for $3.50 + shipping.

Spot on that's the stuff.

Looking at the Paizo/Pathfinder stuff they have a load of pre done card pawn PC/NPC/Monster cards as well but a bit steep at £36 or so a box.

Those packs of Pawns/card figures they do are good, they're really decent quality.
If you go to conventions/shows, you can sometimes find used packs or there's always everybody's favourite auction site.

What I ended up doing was purchasing a bestiary box of pawn figures and then printed anything else I needed on thick card. I wouldn't be using all of the monsters at once, so I always had at handful of bases spare to use with my printed stuff.

I've looked for loose spares but they are almost overwhelmingly the stuff you will rarely if weed use. I'll end up getting a couple of bestiary 1 boxes around Xmas time I think, just wish I could pick up Guards/Cultists/Skeleton/Zombies/Orcs etc (your basic enemies) loose go top up numbers.

Cheers for the help.
