Alternative pool counters?

[Guest]

Archived from groups: rec.games.trading-cards.jyhad (More info?)

I could've sworn I saw some shell casings and little plastic fangs
being used as pool counters on a webpage somewhere. Now I can't find
it (especially the fang ones).

Anybody have links to alternative pool counters for sale on the web?

There will also be these casings for prizes at Origins 2005.

I don't have a link but I know that the "fang" counters that were
often seen for sale on Ebay some years ago where made by a guy in
Saguenay Quebec. I played in tournament against him a while ago and he
was proud to say that he was the maker/designer of those counters.

Maybe you could contact the prince over there (or the prince of Quebec
city) and ask him. He would know more than I do about the whereabouts
of the guy today.

Hope that helps.

I guess he doesn't have a webpage for this stuff, too bad.

The shell casings can be found in the VTES Los Angeles Group website. I
believe TheLasombra.com has their URL in the Geography section.

As for the blood drops/fangs, the guy's name is Luc and he recently ended an
auction on Ebay so you can search under VTES counters for it so you can
contact him. I have bought counters from him before and my players and me
are very pleased with them.

The blood-drop counters are a good size, and they don't roll at all, and the
seller usually packages two sets of 40 in each auction, so you get plenty of
counters in each auction. And the seller is indeed friendly enough. Plus you
get a couple of fangs. So that's all good.

But there is a caveat... since they're made out of some sort of wax, they
will melt a bit and stain your hand if you hold them for any length of time.
(Say, when playing a Malkavian Game.) The color also rubs off on the cards
just a bit sometimes.

I'm using poker chips myself these days. (One positive side effect of the
poker craze in the U.S. is that good chips are much easier to find at the
moment.)

ugh, I hate poker chips... It's hard to count 'em when they're stacked.
And I REALLY hate having to ask how much pool or blood is where,
because then a player could know what exactly I'm looking at.

Whilst not a perfect option, when that sort of thing happens, make
enquiries occasionally.

Not obsessively so that people will stab you in the face for slowing the
game down. Just enough so that it's not always followed up by "Okay, I
rush Arika who you just told me has three blood" the following turn.

Similarly, looking through discard piles now and again (perhaps on your
grand-prey's turn, to avoid delaying people) is good.
