This is a late addition, however with respect to the thickness difference between the WotC tiles and the DIY tiles, if you make your tiles double-sided, that evens out the thicknesses. I made a double-sided tile last night and it sits flush with the WotC tiles I put around it.

I’d been using Tacky glue for tiles before this, and they would always warp, but the rubber cement works great, and the tiles lay perfectly flat!

Just stumbled across this post and followed the links to Amazon. For those of you worried about shipping costs, the Grafix chipboard sheets are eligible for free shipping via Amazon Prime.

If you want to really get bulk pricing on the chipboard you can purchase it from ULine for $42 for a case of 960 letter sized pieces.

For protecting them once they’re printed, I use the same sealer that I use to protect my miniatures. There are several brands available, but I generally use Krylon Matte Finish. There are also high gloss versions if you want the shiny look. You can get it at art stores and even Home Depot for about $4.oo a can. It works great and protects against all those drooling players.

BTW, thanks for the tutorial. I’ve been trying to figure out which card thickness would be best, and now I know.

I have been using Modge Podge to matte my tokens. Works well and makes the tokens resistent to spills and cheeto stains

Clear contact paper would probably work to protect the surface from spills.
