Dice Pool Assembly Strips

Great idea...though I am curious...why didn't you combine stress and complication onto one dice block? I figured it would help folks know they can't do one of each. (or do you house rule it at your table?)

Because according to Cam, you can do both -- it's the closest we have to an official errata for the game at the moment.

I know I'm being nitpicky, but have you considered making them horizontal too?
It might fit better on the table, and people typically read left to right anyway...

Just a thought... :)

Considered it, but then the space for physically setting dice gets smaller and smaller. I guess I could do two rows.

You're free to create your own horizontal strips, of course, I have no patent on the idea! :D

Just dropping in to say these are great. I plan on using them at conventions, especially Gen Con. Well done!

I used these tonight with my players and they helped a lot. The main thing is that it reminds them about opponent stress and complications!

I echo the thoughts of those who have posted already - we used these for the first time last week and they were universally well received.

Planning to introduce three new players to the game tomorrow and I'm sure that the strips will speed their understanding of the system.
