Checking in from the lower left corner of Tennessee. I'm working on getting a home game started and have lurked around for about a month or so...decided to finally join and post.
Since the home game hasn't even started and I'm not sure if it'll stick, I'm not really ready to drop a significant investment in custom chips. But I've had a blast designing some on the various tools...it feels pretty hilarious to have so much fun on such an arcane activity but we like what we like, right?
To get started for the home game, I have a really cheap standard set of blanks as well as my grandfather's old bicycle plastic set. So we can definitely play. Of course, I've played a significant amount in casinos and card rooms and I love the idea of a more legitimate set. I've been looking at the various different standard sets you can get. They seem fine! But I'm definitely more interested in designing something fun that has some character.
Since I'm just dipping my toe in, I'm interested in learning what folks think might be the "least expensive acceptable" customizable chips. I totally understand the idea to get something you really like and invest the extra money in that. But I'm just getting off the ground and anything would be better than my current options. Would this be some reasonable plastics with labels? Something else? Again, I know there's no accounting for taste but at this point something a little better with customization would be a lot more fun.
I'm searching through the forums but there's soooo much here (in a great way) that it's hard to parse it all. Thanks for the help!
