Republic Credit Chips
I've been searching quite a while for some usable token from the Star Wars universe to play a nice round of Sabacc.
Surely there's quite a number of beautifully crafted 3D-meshes, prints and casts of coins and ingots on the net.
But to make an evening of Sabacc really fun you'll need a few dozens of playing-tokens. As I couldn't afford to buy or build any of the mentioned in a number high enough, I went on looking further, until I stumbled accross the episode "Idiot's Array" of the Rebels animated series.
The Republic Credits shown there seemed like a viable option, so I took a shot.
This is what I ended up with:
While they are surely not 100% screen-accurate (which is a tough goal with animated series anyway), they still look and feel quite nice.
(Here's a little video of me playing around with my first bunch of credits. I know it might seem a bit stupid, but the look and sound really come accross a lot better on video...)
I used transparent hardplastic which was then foil-imprinted in copper-metallic. (The foil is not glued-on, but molten into the chip, which ensures better durability).
In order to keep the project within affordable limits, I used pre-manufactured plastic-blanks which are slightly smaller than what I estimated as the "real size" of the credits from the stills. And while I tried to recreate the barcode-pattern as closely as possible, there still were limits due to the printing-method.
I had to leave a 2mm-border which couldn't be printed. And some of the lines and spaces were too small in diameter to be imprinted accurately.
But for the intended use as playing-chips I'm still quite happy with them. They've got a nice "Sci-Fi-feeling" to them and are sturdy enough to be regularly used in any kind of game (Sabacc, RPG, LARP, X-Wing Miniatures...)
*** UPDATE! NEW COLOR-SCHEME AVAILABLE! ***
Due to recurring requests for alternative colors I'm also offering the credit-chips in lightblue with silver printing now!
