Action Decks and Bennies


This has been my current Benny Box that I use for my Savage Worlds games. (I bought the box and the self-adhesive felt at Michael's.) While it's great for general Savage Worlds use, I sometimes like to switch out the Action Deck with themed playing cards (e.g., my zombie apocalypse deck for Life After Death, Bicycle's Dragon Back sets for Eberron or other fantasy, plastic Cartamundi Ace decks for pulp, etc.)




What I haven't had much luck with is finding appropriate bennies for some of these settings. For my Eberron game, I was thinking of something like plastic crystal pieces as dragonshards. For zombies, I was thinking of hunting down some empty shell casings.

In any case, I'm open to suggestions for bennies for my Savage Eberron game and for Life After Death. Drop a line if you have any recommendations.

  1. Did you have any issues cutting out and putting together the Action and Adventure boxes? I had a hard time getting the cards to fit inside, any tips?

  2. No issues at all, other than trying to keep a steady hand while cutting. Oddly, my boxes were rather loose. I didn't even use the expanded Adventure box for the promo cards; the regular box fit perfectly. The only thing I can think of is playing with the print scaling options in Adobe Reader/Acrobat.

  3. Ok, thanks maybe I will try again. I went through all the cutting and when they didn't fit, the only thing I did have was a fit of box destroying anger lol.

    1. I've shared similar experiences with fold up paper terrain. I've long given up on those. LOL!

  4. Maybe fake gold pieces for Eberron and some sort of body parts for the zombies? Those would be easier to get around Halloween, I admit.

    1. Sean B, I do have some gold coins that I bought for use with Three-dragon Ante. I briefly considered them,but they just didn't feel right. I purchased some light pink and dark blue decorative acrylic crystals online last night to represent Eberron and Khyber dragonshards respectively. I'm having a hard time finding yellow ones for Siberys dragonshards at a fair price.

      I like the body parts idea for zombies. I'm also thinking about just using figures from the game Zombies!!!
