So, I am a HUGE fan of props at the table. Especially if those props are practical for play, rather than a distraction. In the past, I've managed inventories by writing my items on flash cards. Last year though, I saw these:
Dang. Pretty stuff. He's also done condition cards, magic item cards, and more. However, as pretty as they are, they are ink-guzzling monsters to actually print out, and you kind of need a really good printer to make them look any good. I've seen other item card projects on reddit as well, but I've never seen anyone get as comprehensive as Mr.Weber.
Anyone else use cards to manage their inventory? Does anyone know of a good, printer-friendly set that could be used?
I have begun building my own initiative tracking cards. I have made laminated 2 sided cards for both players and monsters. I use wet erase markers to put the players PP, AC, DC, resistances, and PI scores on so I never have to ask them in or before combat. I have a rail on my dm screen that has a groove cut into it that they fit in. I use a Magic the Gathering card editor to do the layouts.
Equiptment is a bit mundae to have a card for every say flask of oil, but I like to do unique magic items and special quest/treasure objects when I have time

"I was led to believe there would be punch and pie?"
I was trying to make flash-cards for race, class, and background information to give newbies at first level so they have an actual reference for what all of their stuff does while they're learning, without having to write detailed notes on their character sheet or go digging through the core books. (You could also use them to randomly generate characters without electronics, which I think many DMs would value.)
I was thwarted, however, by Spellcasting classes taking up a page and a half, while combat classes fit on a recipe card or less. I wonder if anyone else has had better success.
