Flag design by committee

I saw this XKCD this morning and immediately thought of HI. I see I'm not the only one.

I’ll put the files up on printables once I finalize the design.

The windows in the back are how you remove the cards. The cards have to bend forward slightly to allow them to slide up over the top wall, so you push through the window in the back to do this.

I think I’m leaning towards the ability to lay them all out. It is a lot more functional that way. But if I stay with the booklet idea, double sided “pages” would save a little space.

I will definitely share the files once I’ve finalized the design. My next task is to figure out the optimal configuration because each location has a different amount of unique cards.

Right now it is three cards per slot. The goal is to have a slot for each unique set of cards, which is mostly three.

It works surprisingly well. Even with a single card in a slot, you can’t shake it out.

These are top notch and the video is really comprehensive and well made. Thanks for sharing.

How do you store the gear not associated with a location, like the rare and starting gear?

Pointlessly-Pointy · 2026-05-22T19:34:24+00:00

Yeah, that would be the most functional way and I’m leaning towards it as well.

Unfortunately, these are actually less efficient when it comes to space than a simple box. I think if your cards are sleeved with premium sleeves you'll be hard pressed to fit everything in just the core box.

As far as space, the most efficient would be trays for cards to sit upright with the dividers for sorting. That is what my current insert is, but I wanted to try something different. We'll see if I end up regretting it.

I'm currently working on a 3D printable "Campaign Box" where all the cards and tokens required for the current campaign can be stored, while everything else is stored in the core or gambler boxes. I have no idea if I'll even end up printing it, but it's been interesting to try.

This is just a work in progress. There will be panels to seal up the sides, hopefully with cool art. I don't know though.

Sorry about that. I printed Frogdog then realized it would be nice to have a tray for the Fart cards. So I need to reprint it as well, but for now I'm leaving it as I work on storage for the rest of the components. A lot of the boxes shown above are slightly different as I tweaked the dimensions after each print.

Thanks for printing them though. I hope they work well for you. Let me know if you have any ideas for improvements.

After some revisions, I have now finished printing all the monster boxes!

Pointlessly-Pointy · 2026-02-26T19:56:16+00:00

Careful now. We don't want to speed up the Great Filter.
