Arkham Horror Card Dividers

Tim Coombes
Australia

mbmbmbmbmb
I've had some amazing feedback (as well as my first Geekgold ) on my setup for Arkham Horror. I've also had a few requests asking how I did it, what fonts, divider names and so on... so here it is.

I used Microsoft Publisher and created text boxes in the size I needed, specified the font (Powderfinger Type), centred the text, aligned it to the top and hit print. Then I laminated the dividers and cut them out.

Box 1 - The Small Cards
Divider size: 6.7cm x 5cm

Left Column - Less often used cards
Personal Story
Visions of Hypnos
Blessing of Nodens
Beloved of Bast
Dust
Magic Effects
Condition Cards
Captain of the White Ship
Changed

Middle Column - Often used cards
Blight Cards
Allies
Skills - Dunwich
Skills - Kingsport
Skills
Spells - Dunwich
Spells - Kingsport
Spells - King in Yellow
Spells
Unique Items - Dunwich
Unique Items - Kingsport
Unique Items - King in Yellow
Unique Items
Common Items - Dunwich
Common Items - Kingsport
Common Items - King in Yellow
Common Items
Madness
Injury
Silver Twilight Lodge
Sheldon Gang Membership
Deputy of Arkham
Bank Loan
Blessing & Curses
Rail Pass
Retainer

Box 2 - The Large Cards
Divider Size: 9cm x 6.3cm

Left Column - Location Cards
I've mixed in all the Arkham location cards from all the expansions as I couldn't see any point in separating them, if I ever come across a card that doesn't work due other missing components I'll ignore it and draw another.
Downtown, Arkham
Easttown, Arkham
French Hill, Arkham
Merchant District, Arkham
Miskatonic University, Arkham
Northside, Arkham
Rivertown, Arkham
Southside, Arkham
Uptown, Arkham
Backwoods Country, Dunwich
Blasted Heath, Dunwich
Village Commons, Dunwich
Church Green, Innsmouth
Factory District, Innsmouth
Innsmouth Shore, Innsmouth
Central Hill, Kingsport
Harborside, Kingsport
South Shore, Kingsport
Kingsport

Middle Column - Monster Tokens

Right Column - The rest of the big cards
I have separated the Mythos and Gate cards into expansions since there's enough in the base set and I was worried about... dare I say it... dilution.
Mythos, Dunwich
Mythos, Innsmouth
Mythos, Kingsport
Mythos, King in Yellow
Mythos Cards
Gates, Dunwich
Gates, Innsmouth
Gates, Kingsport
Gates, King in Yellow
Gates
Ancient One Plot Cards
Epic Battle Cards
Innsmouth Look
Dunwich Horror
King in Yellow Act Cards

The layout will probably change as I play more games and get more expansions, which is why I don't have any fixed dividers. Speaking of which the box dividers are made out of 4mm foamcore which fit snugly in the box and hold together well without any glue.

So there is all is. The plan is that once a few of the other players have got a game or three under their belts I'll be able to give them a box and say you guys down there are looking after Ancient One cards while you guys over there are looking after Investigator cards which will free me up to look after the flowcharts and rules. Well that's the long term plan anyway.

If anyone is interested in the files here they are (on my 4Shared account until I can get these uploaded to the geek whereupon I'll update these links)

PDF versions:
Card_Dividers_Large_Cards.pdf
Card_Dividers_Small_Cards.pdf

Publisher versions:
Card Dividers, Large Cards.pub
Card Dividers, Small Cards.pub

Thanks for reading,

Timbo

Wow Tim, thanks for doing this! When I asked if you minded if I picked your brain a bit, I wasn't expecting a core dump...

Seriously though, the idea of using the game boxes with partitions and divider cards seems to be the quickest and easiest way to keep things sorted and easier to manage during game sessions. Your solution along with a couple of others moving on the same path have resolved one of the biggest bugbears of AH: what to do with it all when it's mixed together!

I would very much love to get a hold of the publisher files. I'll flick you a geek mail with my email enclosed.

Thanks again!

Tim,
Looks like a great setup. I have all the expansions so I moved away from the boxes I currently have all my Arkham Horror in a leather suitcase that I picked up from a second hand store - thought it fitted with the Arkham Horror theme. Still needs to be tidied up though.Wouldn't mind the pds for the divider. I send you a geek mail. couple of gold for your trouble.
Thanks

Thanks for making the files available Tim. I've had a look at the publisher files and Ive got a few ideas for prettying them up without going ink or toner heavy.

I'm working on an insert for Mansions of Madness too and will look at modifying some of these for use in that game too.

Happy Gaming!

This is the third time I've seen you post something like this on a game.

Don't take this personally, but I'd like to know that this isn't a scam.
It is suspicious that the images don't have a zoom in, so that you can see that the titles weren't just photoshopped on.

Here are ALL your threads, ever, in the last day or so:

Thanks for posting these Tim. I've used them to make dividers for my case, along with rotated dividers for the small cards.

That is one sweet looking Arkham case. I'm glad you found the files useful.
