Our game at MOAB included encounters scattered around the table for players to discover and/or stumble upon. Counters were required to indicate the locations of these encounter areas and rather than just using numbered discs I chose to represent the encounters with little skull totems.
Each encounter token had a different number of skulls, one through eight, with each indicating a specific encounter.
The tokens were based on mdf discs, piled with some rocks and the odd clay urn, and some baboo skewer stakes, upon which the skulls were placed. I also added some copper wire here and there to represent rope.
I looked at many manufacturers of 28mm skulls but in the end, surprisingly, I found the box of Citadel Skulls were the best proportioned and value for money.
