Token Cards ... Kinkos Printing Available

UPDATE

These are coming along ... slowly. As I am forced to type out each of the cards manually (I am a Grand Master at Hunt and Peck typing).

One new addition to the cards are symbols for each specific Pack (Combat, Stamina, Mental, Special and Winter) the item belongs to located where the right hand TannhÃ¤user logo was originally set.

Plageman has been extremely helpful in gathering clean Token images from the French ToY TannhÃ¤user members and is typing out the French versions of the card text. So there will be (American) English and French versions of the cards available once this project is completed.

dude, these are friggin' awesome. I'm loving your work. Keep it up!!!

They're coming along. All of the main game Token text has been transcribed and I am placing the cards together.

However, as I do not have the English language version of Wolf (still awaiting its delivery from Ludibay), could someone, please, type up for me the full text of the Tokens?

Fluff, Instructions and Special Rules.

It would be greatly appreciated ...

EDIT: Okay, so I found some ... But, it still requires all the Dark Green Fluff Text:

WOLF
Special
â€¢ Jack of all Trades
NEED FLUFF TEXT
Just before you make your Deployment Roll, choose any two Skills and announce them to your opponent. These skills are available to Wolf for the remainder of the game.

Combat Pack
â€¢ MP3008c "Freiheit" Machine Pistol
NEED FLUFF TEXT
Type: Automatic Weapon
During a Combat Roll, this weapon's precision and power add a 1-point bonus to the result of each die (except Natural 1s). It also adds one to its wielder's overall Combat Value.

â€¢ M3 Combat Knife
NEED FLUFF TEXT
Type: Hand-to-Hand Weapon
If this weapon's wielder rolls at least one success on a Combat Roll, the sharp blade of the M3 Combat Knife adds one additional success to the result.

â€¢ F1 Fragmentation Grenade
NEED FLUFF TEXT
Type: Grenade

Stamina Pack
â€¢ MP3008c "Freiheit" Machine Pistol
(see Above)

â€¢ M3 Combat Knife
(see Above)

â€¢ Shot of Morphine
This little metal tube, complete with a pre-sterilized needle, is standard-issue equipment for Union airborne regiments. The morphine within instantly soothes pain, facilitating the intervention of field medical personnel.
Whenever you use a Victory Point to heal a wound, you can use the Shot of Morphine to heal an additional wound. Alternatively Tala may use the Shot of Morphine during her Action Phase to heal two wounds for another character, who must be on an adjacent circle on her Path. (This also costs a Victory Point.) Discard the token after either type of use.

Mental Pack
â€¢ Colt 45
This firearm functions with a short kickback of slide and barrel. It shoots .45 caliber ammunition loaded in an integrated magazine that holds 9 shots.
Type: Close Combat Weapon
During a Combat Roll, the precision of the Colt 45 offers a 2-point bonus to the result of each die (except for Natural 1s).

â€¢ Luck
For a time, Wolf worked for a circle of French aristocrats including the Countess of Pouceverts, a botanist as strange as the plants she cultivates./ She offered one of her amulets to him, the mysterious TrÃªfle DorÃ©.
Once per Game Turn, Wolf may reroll any one die. The new result must be used, even if it is lower.

â€¢ First Aid Kit
Doctors and field nurses being extremely difficult to find behind enemy lines, some soldiers carry First Aid Kits with them into battle so that they can treat their wounds themselves.
When you use a Victory Point to heal a wound, the First Aid Kit allows you to hea1 an additional wound. Discard the token after use.

I was just posting Wolf - you beat me to it!

I can post a French-to-English translation of the fluff text if you want...

If no one can come up with a retype or full scan of Jack of all Trades, MP3008c "Freiheit" Machine Pistol, M3 Combat Knife, and F1 Fragmentation Grenade's fluff text I guess the unofficial French to English translation is the best we can do. Although ,the official translation is not that great considering I have already corrected Colt 45 from This firearms functions with ... to This firearm functions with ...

I was actually hoping for a scan of the English language Wolf booklet as I am still awaiting my Wolf from Ludibay (it has been a month since I paid $28 for it as of tomorrow) and it is the French version. I cannot believe I am the only one with this particular problem in the world ...

Edit: Original Message Deleted.

I was able to get a scanned copy of the English language Wolf Booklet.

Thanks Hahn!

Not a problem Brother....I was more than happy to help you out.

These cards have not been forgotten. They have been going through changes as I print them and see improvements that can be made (in other words, I am going through the Alpha and Beta versions myself).

Changes from the original design shown in first post:
â€¢ Text Font has been changed to American Typewriter Condensed to match rule book.
â€¢ Removed "Fluff" text use larger font for easier reading while playing.
â€¢ Added Pack Symbols where right hand TannhÃ¤user logo once was.
â€¢ In the Beta version resizing and adjusting colors/effects of Pack Symbols.
â€¢Â Creating French text version of the cards.

Eva Main Game Card Sample (some samples in English some samples in French):

QUESTION:
Of the people considering printing these cards, do you prefer:
[ ] Single sided printing and using card sleeves and/or gluing the sides together.
[ ] Printing the cards as double sided cards (this is what I do for a CCG look to the cards).

I need to know how to set up the PDFs as they are completely different beasties.

They look great man, when you finish the rest that will help the game so much at least for me.

QUESTION:
Of the people considering printing these cards, do you prefer:
[X] Single sided printing and using card sleeves and/or gluing the sides together.
[ ] Printing the cards as double sided cards (this is what I do for a CCG look to the cards).

I make all my stuff 4 card stock thick so that is what i would do.

Nice work!

So far it looks like I will be creating the single side print books ...

Actually, I realized there is a third option.

Once the cards are completed, I will be printing at my local Kinkos. In doing so I will be uploading to Kinkos Print Online. The files remain there once completed. If someone wants the same cards I use and their local Kinkos has a 5000 series printer (this machine is required and not all Kinkos have them). I can set up the print job for anyone that wants a set and all you have to do is pick it up and pay for them. Note this can be fairly expensive $2.58 per sheet, 8 cards per sheet. That's 9 sheets for the 72 cards in the TannhÃ¤user main game not including the Crate cards; or, $23.22 (note that this money does not go to me, only to Kinkos for the printing) for the main game cards not including tax. These cards are double sided, negligible registration error (less than 1/32") and the double sided cards have expanded card fronts so registration of this magnitude is inconsequential, glossy 100# cardstock and once cut out resemble CCGs (and cost about the same ).

I like option #3 followed by #1.

These look fantastic!

If you'd finish them, I'd be happy...

#3 followed by a close #1. Your concepts are fantastic. Beginning 1st Tues of June I'm running Tannhauser Tuesdays at my FLGS and I'd love to have these cards in hand by then... if possible.

Ouch.

Hopefully, the TannhÃ¤user main game Figure Token Cards will be done within two weeks. Followed shortly thereafter by the Crate Token Cards*. Then Wolf and Yula Token Cards. Finally, the Bonus Token Cards (those not included with Wolf and Yula). After that as the expansions are released (in the US), so will the Token Cards.

* I realized the Crate Token Cards will have a double benefit in that the "marked" crate tokens included with Wolf would no longer be a problem when utilizing the Crate Token Cards. Simply place any Crate Token on the board, when one is searched, draw a Crate Token Card instead of flipping the Crate Token!

I have not access top those nifty printing machines here in France

Love the Kinkos option. Did I miss the boat on that one or is there still time?

This is amazing work and a much better idea than the cheat sheet. They should reward you for it.

You're are more than on time, you're still a little early!

I have pretty much finished all of the 107 existing (English) Token Cards (Main Game, Wolf and Yula Tokens) as well as their French counterparts. Currently, I am going through each card and correcting the Token art so that they all match color and clarity (I had been using art from three different sources and some did not match - now I am making sure it all from a single source). From there the PDFs will be created and uploaded for distribution. After that comes the officially translated online tokens. And finally, the French-only cards and creating English cards as they become available.

Thanks for the updates and follow through on this.

Hoping to get the first six PDFs (the Main Game Heroes) to Plageman today at some point for upload to Black Sheep Archives.

EDIT: Main Game Hero PDFs (designed for single sided printing) have been sent to Plageman. The 12 PDFs contain the following cards in both English (on Letter sized paper - for littlewars I did not call it US Letter ) and French (on A4 sized paper) ...

More to follow ...

They seem not to have made it to the site yet. Thanks for the work I have always like quick reference cards/sheets. It looks like FFG would host these though, I would consider them to be production quality.

Thanks,
Jon

The initial set of Token Cards should be up sometime this weekend per Plagemen.

As for FFG hosting them that would be nice but I can't seem to get a response from them when it comes to homebrew items ... Anything else and they're great at responding super fast*, so I assume any delay in response has to do with their legal department.

* I had two tokens with a production tear (I sent a photo with the tear visible before the tokens were removed from the full sheet) and received the replacement tokens from Thaad in less than a week after my initial contact. That girl is fast and efficient!

Where or where are these cards!!!!???? Its like being 4 years old on christmas morning all over again. When mommy wont let you open gifts till she has had her coffee

I have no idea where Plageman has disappeared to. He seems to have vanished off the face of the planet! However, I am picking up all of the cards from Kinkos tomorrow, so I will know that everything is good for placing orders through Kinkos.

Kinkos Requirements:
1) Your local Kinkos MUST HAVE the Docucolor 5000 Printer/Copier (This is required as this machine prints to 3/32nd of an inch to the border and keeps the images centered with very little skewing of the paper)
2) Your local Kinkos MUST CARRY Xerox X-100 Cardstock also referred to as Bright White Cardstock in 8.5" x 11".

The full price is $36.12* plus tax (I paid $19.51 with tax for all 126 current Tannäuser Token Cards) for those that have a Kinkos that fulfills the above requirement and wish to order cards for their Tannhäuser Tokens that are comparable to most CCG cards on the market.

NOTE: You are not paying me (I am doing this for free)! You are only paying your local Kinkos at the time of pick up and paying exactly what I paid plus or minus a bit for variable taxes required in your area.

EDIT: UPDATED WITH CORRECTED COST TO PRINT - June 02, 2008
* I had originally put the price at $18.06, but just noticed Kinkos had charged me for 7 double sided prints, not the actual 14 double sided prints that I received. Sorry for the inconvenience.
