Pocket charts comparison

Take it to FedEx office store

Hey!!! You don't speak for me, Clubby! On Wednesday when you come over, you do NOT get to sit in one of the comfy chairs...jackass. (Come on, Psycho...back me up on this one...)

Ahem...yes, I had mine done at a local FedEx Office store. I forget the exact charge, but $30 total seems right. If I remember correctly, it was $1 per page to laminate (24 pages if you include the covers which I did), small charge to cut the original spiral binding and to re-spiral bind when reassembling the chart "book." $30 might be too extravagant for many, but my charts are now nearly indestructible. Any additions/changes of new/modified charts will be just a few $.

Tip: if you do choose to do the lamination, have them extend the lamination about 1/2" past the original binding holes on the charts. Then have them punch the extended lamination to re-spiral bind the book. This will help ensure that the lamination does not lift from the charts.

Semper Fi!
Scott

The way you use them they'll last forever. As long as you don't have any furniture that's needs leveling.

Like a buck a page

Thank you.

Sometimes it's easier to just buy two copies of the charts.

I made some field modifications to the MMP charts today. For me, this addresses the main drawback of the product - the lack of tabs for direct access. Total cost was about 7 dollars for the 3M tabs, plus use of my label maker. The tabs are repositionable and thick (no, I don't get a sales commission from 3M ). Time will tell if this is useful for me. I went with 15 total tabs. Others may use more or fewer...anyway it's an idea to consider.

It needs to be laminated as well.

 

[pensatl1962]

It would be nice, but I'm not sure it's completely necessary. The cover is thicker paper than the inside pages, so that helps a bit.

I prefer the MMP pocket charts. However, mine is getting tattered and tearing at the spiral (time for a new one. I exclusively use the eASLRB at the table, but I prefer the charts in paper form.

I suggest when you get a new copy , laminate every page punch the holes and get new rings to keep it together .

That seems tedious... This coming from a guy that counter clips. Yeah, I know, I'm a walking paradox.

Travel with it twice a week.

Well, I can’t claim to travel with it twice a year, so I see and respect your use-case.

Very nice.

Very nice.

Melvin Falk has cut and pasted four pages of rules tables. I blew them up to 8.5" x 11" sheets, laminated and made them into two pages, both sides.

They are my favorite, usually can play a game with just those two sheets.

Very well thought out, kudos to Mr. Falk.

The one thing MMP has better is that it has the ASOP. You do not need it every time you play but sometimes handy.

Try this one out it is even more handy, as long as you play regular scenarios, that is why I compiled it togheter.

Thanks, made them 2001, they are even usable when rolling secret DR in a Dice-Tower for Mud/Deep Snow/etc, see link for pictures.
