BLIP TOKENS

It's far from a new idea - but since I'm in a bit of a sci-fi mood at the moment, I've made a bunch of 'blip' tokens that I thought I'd share (just in case any of you guys can get some use out of them).

However, if you're not familiar (or have not seen the Aliens movies or played the old Space Hulk game) - then it's simply a way of moving the monsters around the map without the players knowing exactly what they're up against (i.e. a movement 'blip' shows up on their motion trackers - which is represented by one of these tokens on the tabletop).

Then when the 'blip' is in line of sight, simply flip it over to reveal a number, and then consult a table to see what kind of creature they're facing.

For example, the table could be something like this:

1. False reading.

2. Infected colonist

3. Hive worker

4. 2 hive workers

5. Hive warrior

6. 2 hive warriors

7. Hive queen

Similarly, they could be used when playing some kind of solo game - perhaps cutting up both sets of tokens, and choosing half a dozen randomly - so you (as the solo player) are not quite sure what you're going to be up against.

Anyway, hope you like 'em!

PS. If you think it's worth doing a video on something like this in the future (as they kind of fit into the 'handouts' category), then please do let me know :)
