Hey folks, new here, and I own a printing company :D

Hey all - found this forum from a post over on boardgamegeek - had no clue it existed.

So a little about me. Huge FFP fan, my girlfriend and I absolutely LOVE ATOE. I also own a small printing and manufacturing company. Found this site from BGG as I was posting there about my plans to remake all the ATOE minion counters into single pieces (not dual sided - that drives me crazy).

What I'm doing is laser cutting black acrylic squares and circles, and affixing permenant vinyl decals to them so they look just like the actual counters from the game. Problem is getting the images to look right. I have scans of all the tokens, but the reproduction quality isn't fantastic. Started looking for the font they use on the counters so I can at least make the text clean, found out this site has an amazing downloads section, so I just signed up, donated $10, and am posting here to say hi.

For forum reference, I do all sorts of printing and manufacturing. Game cards, counters, etc. I do not do the pressed cardboard like FFP uses - that requires extremely expensive metal dies and an even more expensive bazillion ton press to cut the cardboard (notice how the counters are indented and rounded on one side, and flat on the other? Thats a super sharp super heavy duty round knife pressing through the cardboard at about, to be technical, a bazillion pounds of pressure!) but I do have a laser cutter/engraver and that makes beautiful little black tiles that can have stickers applied to them. And real, waterproof, vinyl stickers - not paper stuff. Once I get a few made today I'll post pictures. (The 1/8" acrylic just arrived today! Woohoo!)

Anyway, don't want to ramble on and seem like I'm advertising. I'm just a huge FFP fan and want to de-clutter my box of ATOE stuff, and put the web downloadable content and other fan made stuff on actual cards that fit in with the rest of the game. Hoping to see the templates in the download section that I've heard so much about soon!

Anyway, that's me!
