And no setup fee. Hmm. I don't see any templates for download, though. And I wonder what other fine print I'm missing.

Might be an opportunity to make up an ACD counter sheet with 'the usual suspects' faces as units for a gag gift.

I like it!  The map could be the ACD dungeons - the quests- find the hidden booze cache and BC's stash of un-played games.

We know where Mirth's stash is. BC isn't even sure where his stash is.


Mirth's stash is probably bigger, but BC's actually needs the quest to find it  :hehe:

Hoi y`ohs, so, does anyone have them 'Counters'-LINKS that allowed creation of 'Spaceships'-icons, or NATO-styled 'Unit Symbols' with Numeric/Alpabetic indications also displayed/attributed? They'll even make them in differing 'colours' if desired! JUST 'contrast' such "tastefully" and NAUGHT at all 'crassly classically' , if you did, K? thx!

This one?

"Spaceships Generator 'Site'/" (https://zhodani.space/traveller-starship-counter-generator/)

YES!  Thanks! Although, where WERE that other 'site'/'cite' about 'Military Counters' creations? I didn't recall that 'one' being ONLY for JUST "Traveller" particularly purposes? Perhaps, there might even have been yet another of 'Army Silhouettes'/'Vehicles'-(side views)/'Planes'-(overhead views)/etc.? Excuse the 'improvementalistic' touch of the LINK!
