ISK-How do you track it? - 2006/11/06 05:21The ISK with the starters seems kinda lame. Is there another generally accepted way to keep track such as a few d20's or colored beads representing various amounts?

Re:ISK-How do you track it? - 2006/11/06 09:10We use the counters. Theyre awesome. I have about 6 boxes worth in a deck case.
In the only game where we ran out of counters, I used £10 and £20 notes to represent 100 and 200 ISK respectively
The problem with dice is that dice get knocked over. I really don't like dice.

The "colored beads equal different amounts" thing has been used by some of my opponents in other games, but they invariably screw up at some point and count a 1 as a 5 or vice-versa.

Re:ISK-How do you track it? - 2006/11/09 17:05Since I play a lot of D&D and stuff like that, I use two ten-sided dice. This way there's only two pieces being used and the mess is cut down.

Re:ISK-How do you track it? - 2006/11/11 09:43I normally use the counters supplied with the game. But when I expect to run short, I'll switch to plain old pencil and paper. I have also seen calculators used, since it makes gaining and spending easy to track. A basic 4-function will work.

Re:ISK-How do you track it? - 2006/11/11 16:59The new way of doing it like all the cool kids: using real Icelandic ISK coins!(ISK is the currency of Iceland for those that dont know).

Re:ISK-How do you track it? - 2006/11/13 21:27Oh man. So many of you guys hit me up for ISK coins at Fan Fest...but they do work well. As soon as I can get it past the guys who control the purse strings, I want to get some ISK poker chips made up. If you can use them for poker, they're not really nerdy, right?
