BTW, I kinda like the ammo boxes. But, even if these were self-print, would you want to write and erase a bunch on these things? Though it's not terribly expensive, the business card stock isn't exctly cheap, either.

Baron, Body Pistol is included with Pistol - they're very similar, except a few stats.
And, um, "Utility Belt"? I think the Hero conversion is on another thread...
rob, I see the aspect ratio, now that I'm playing with them. It won't work on business cards at that size. Business cards are 2x3.5. A print shop should be able to cut the card stock to our preferred size. Or, you can invest in one of those paper choppers. (BTW, be careful with those - by some of the typing on these boards, y'all can't afford to lose any more fingers.
) I'll keep looking at options on printing material.

BINGO! I love Google... I have found three sources for playing cards that you can print from your computer. Now, I don't know the precise layout of any of these sheets, so can't play with them just yet, but here goes:
Proto Parts - Playing Card Sheets - Perforated Poker Sized
6 to a sheet, $.34/sheet, $8/25, shipping <$4 for up to 75 sheets.
(They have blank 6-sided dice, as well!)
Newt's Playing Cards - DESIGN-A-CARD-100
6 to a sheet, pack of 20 sheets, $9, <$7 shipping to me in Virginia.
PlainCards - Blank Playing Cards with Printed Backs
8 to a sheet, 18 sheets, plus a can of shellac to coat the cards after printing and 2 plastic boxes for card decks, $19.95 (just the cards is $11.75), $8.55 shipping to VA.
The first listed is cheapest per card. All these will supposedly work in inkjets. Some have fancy software you have to buy, others have templates. I could build my own MS Word template pretty easily once I had a sheet in hand - for free.

Excellent hunting Fritz!
Yeah, business cards would be a bit small to use. As for using the ammo boxes or other write on, well if you drop the finished cards in a cheap-o plastic sleeve (if we do it in the right size) then you can just use an eraseable on the sleeve and the card stays pristine.

You are correct sirOriginally posted by Fritz88:

I should have specified Web style Utility Belt with suspenders. Used for strapping other pouches and items to. Much Like the US Military has beed using for generations.

NOT a CCG! Despite the perhaps now misleading title. That particular thread was months (years?) ago
This is more a play-aid and imagination spark. At least I think that's the point.

I would use them today (tonight?) if I had a set.
They spark imagination just thinking about a character walking through the Starport security screen area and flashing his IN card (with his SEH and MCG) at the Vid Camera.
Now
Are they "Trading Cards" or "Playing Aids"?

Have you caught him? I was going to mention it subtly earlier (you know, something like... "BeRKA! We have you surrounded! Make this happen and we'll forgive and forget!"), but well subtlety only gets you so far
I have some MT era membership cards that might be a starting point. Have to see if I can turn them up this weekend and maybe add some of my own graphics to the thread.
Next we need some Imperial Credits (kind of like our own Monopoly money)

Someone already made some, IIRC, for their own game. They posted a link on the boards sometime, in the distant past.Originally posted by Baron W. The PreacherMan:
