Savage Worlds Star Wars Bennies

I made some Star Wars bennies for our current campaign and wanted to share how easy they were to make.  I think the process would be great to make bennies or status markers for other genres.


I created a sheet of Star Wars themed images in Powerpoint and sized each to about 1" wide. I used a 1" hole punch on the sheet and stuck the images to 1" epoxy stickers. I glued 2 epoxy stickers with the images together using Elmer's PVA glue and they turned out just like I wanted! My first batch wasn't as great. I used UHU glue which is really sticky with a low water content. This was too much and made the images darken. Good lesson learned - don't always use the stickiest glue you can find.

Here's a pic of a sheet of epoxy stickers. You will sometimes find them listed as bottle cap stickers as crafters use them to make pendants with soda bottle caps.



We're famous!

My Savage Worlds Star Wars adventure - Aboard the Grinning Gundark - was featured on Pinnacle Entertainment's main web page last week as a news article!  That felt so awesome to see my adventure featured.  I was already proud of my work but this was icing on the cake.
