I have started an STA game for a group of friends and thought it would be cool if I made them the tricorder dice holder. Then it occurred to me that my medical officer wouldn’t have their own medical tricorder. That would not do. So I made it.
Nice, but I am right if I think that it can only hold 2d20 and 4d6?
If I have one I may want at least room for 6d20 (5 dices maximum+computer help) and 7d6 (5 dices from discipline max +2 for extended tasks or phaser II)
The main impetus for this was two fold: the aforementioned lack of a medical tricorder, but also I want this to serve has a reminder that the first thing they should be doing in most situations is scanning.
I might do a TOS tricorder, but my players are currently playing in the TNG era.
The photos of the variant holding also Momentum/Threat tokens feature a third variant of yellow/gold tokens with a Starfleet delta. Maybe for Determination? Have yet to find the printfiles for these, though.
Anyway, taking away all the inlaid walls and fills in between the small dice compartments and adding the medical attachment (without the probe, obviously), I think one could easily fit 5d20 and a couple of d6. Even 5d20 and 7d6 (just like @betatester wanted) are not soo unrealistic, I think.
Maybe I’ll give it a try someday (read: when I’, retired or so ).
I may have to try and get one of these made (unlike a couple of years ago, I now have a contact with a 3d printer). Not so much need for the d6s in the 2e era though.
That said, I wonder if anyone has done something along the lines of the Engineering or Medical Kit boxes? I carry a bit more than dice when GMing, and have a very basic “Starfleet GM’s Kit” box (a plastic compartmented box with a printed paper insert), but it would be nice to get something “branded”.
Those tokens look like 3d-printed copies of the original acrylic ones from Modiphius (the originals were transparent), but they never included the yellow ones. I’ve been looking for something appropriate for Determination (considering latinum slips), but I’ve not seen that design anywhere else!
Man, I almost panicked. The way I read that first line, I had thought I had forgotten to attribute Crossman at all. I would have felt really bad if I hadn’t.
Wow, sorry! Never meant it that way!
(And never thought twice about my words as you both searched for Crossman here in this forums and attributed him on thingiverse. Sorry again!)
