Chess Coins

thingiverse

I really don't like mini's for my D&D games. I don't want to collect them. Don't want to paint them. Don't want to deal with them at all. The players can have paper pawns or a cool mini but I don't need dozens of goblins clogging up my shelf space! So I wanted something very generic, abstract, portable, and flexible that I could easily stick in my GM's kit to represent monsters and NPC's. Looking around I could not find anything that fit my vision so I made these. The standard chess icons do a good job of representing different creatures at a glance, and I plan to use them like this: -Pawns for Minions and generic creatures. -Rooks for Bruiser types -Knights for Lieutenants -Bishops for magic users -King and Queen for big bosses. The STL's are one inch circles, so will fit nicely with standard 28mm mini's and on RPG flip mats. A set of 16 is more than enough to put in my kit, but are compact enough that I could pop in a second set if needed. I have printed all of the STL's but might need to dial in some of the settings on my printer as a few had some small issues with the finer details towards the end, but nothing a quick sand won't fix. I used the experimental "Ironing" Setting in Cura and they came out with a nicer final layer. Oh and I suppose you could always use them to play chess or something!
