Counters and Tricorder
Since we predominately play our Trek games using the Galactic Heroes and/or other Fistful of Lead rules from Wiley Games, I dont need buckets of dice, just a few d12s, d10s, and d8s. So rather than haul the traditional Crown Royal bag leaden with 5 pounds of dice around to every game table, it was time to actual 3d print the tricorder dice box. Grabbed a file from thingiverse, a quick ugly boolean in Blender to modify it, and off to the printer. a few slapdash brush strokes of paint, a horrendously ugly install of some magnets, and done.
Counters
It was time to do up some Trek specific counters as well.
Replacing the standard Fistful of Lead Wound Counters, I printed out some Red Alert counters.
We also have a house rule Trait for Borg that allow them to Adapt to a target’s ranged attacks.
In a nutshell for those interested in the rule: a Borg model spends both actions to Adapt to a target’s ranged attacks. All Borg models are immune to that models ranged attacks until the that model performs a Reload action to cycle the frequencies on their phaser/ disrupter /etc.
Author’s Note: Goddamned Larry and his goddamned Borg are a freaking menace! absolutely terrifying to play against…. but so much fun!
So I printed off some Adaptation tokens while I was at it.
