ScummyRebel 4,036 Posted August 6 (edited) I’ve tried to mark you obstacles based on the edges in the past, but it hasn’t always worked. Additionally, there’s only so many ways to do this. I lost an obstacle at a game night where someone recovered it as theirs by mistake (don’t know who). So I’m looking for a mark on the actual surfaces that’s more clear. So, what other marking options or solutions do you use? Stickers (links for where they’re available), marker, etc. however you mark your obstacles for gameplay. Thanks!

thespaceinvader 17,438 Posted August 6 Sticky dots, the kind that you can get for marking calendars or similar. I use them for obstacles, and for dials. 2 UhearBoutPluto and Stoneface reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Cuz05 2,032 Posted August 6 I did colour the edges of a few of mine with a red marker. Other week I played a guy with the exact same. It's a common one. Friend of mine has a hideous cartoon cabbage head on his large rock, which never fails to unsettle all of us with its sheer ugliness. They deemed the stickers too disturbing to hand out to the kids they were intended for.... He does only play it cabbage side up on casual night. Another friend has small circular stickers on the back of his. Works well. I never bother anymore. I have plenty of obstacles now and I'm not that fussed if I come home with a different one. I have lost my TFA large rock, which is slightly irritating, but the older one serves just as well. 1 impspy reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

RunnerAZ 418 Posted August 6 I used a pink sharpie to color in one rock/item of debris on each side of the object. No one wants to take my pink obstacles. 1 Cuz05 reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
LagJanson 6,779 Posted August 6 Even marked, don’t bank on everything working out. An opponent and I traded rocks at GenCon. No idea when, and it’s really obvious, since I marked the side in alternating colours and he used a red sticky dot with an M on it... luckily we traded identical rocks so we remained legal through the day.

thespaceinvader 17,438 Posted August 6 Yeah I did the same at some tournament recently. As long as it's the same rock I'm eally not that bothered any more. 1 LagJanson reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Phelan Boots 516 Posted August 6 Instead of coloring the entire edge, I have three close vertical lines on my main rocks. That combined with how absurdly worn out they are makes it pretty obvious. 1 TasteTheRainbow reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
theBitterFig 6,714 Posted August 6 (edited) Shiny foil star stickers, like teachers would put on school-kids tests. I stick them on the "bottom." Edited August 6 by theBitterFig Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Subhntr 65 Posted August 6 Initials sharpied onto one side works for me. One of the local players keys his obstacles. Yes, like how a vindictive ex would key a car - just gets out his car keys and scrapes a line through the middle of both sides. 1 ScummyRebel reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Skitch_ 510 Posted August 6 I use the blue sticky dots that come on all the zip lock bags in each ship upgrade pack and put my initials on them. I have also been known to use the sticky part of pink sticky notes and write my last name on them. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jeff Wilder 4,995 Posted August 6 (edited) Somebody needs to make a scale-correct sticker of a struts-open Vulture droid, top-down, to stick on obstacles. A small blank spot for initials would be a bonus. (Hey, big-name podcasts with Patreons ... get on this! You're welcome!)

TasteTheRainbow 8,507 Posted August 6 Color the edge in a unique way. Like a red/blue/red slash in the most interior corner. Hard to see on the table but easy to sort out after the game. 2 Velvetelvis and Parakitor reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I would become a patreon donor long enough to get these for all my obstacles for sure.

It wasn’t in this case, and I wound up with a bonus rock I already had (returned to the venue for our community lost and found) and lost a rock I have no replacement for. Otherwise I hear you.

Pa Weasley 217 Posted August 7 I painted a bright green dot on one or both sides of every one of my obstacles. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
