Stop Ben if you’ve ever heard these joyous questions around your table:

“What? Where’s my  sunrod radius again? Can I see that square?”
“Sorry, still confused – which area on the map is on fire?”
“I don’t get it…what mysterious rock is protruding out of that wall?”

Son of a B@tch! Yes, these are all valid questions [...]]]></description>

<p>Stop Ben if you’ve ever heard these joyous questions around your table:</p>
<ul>
<li>“What? Where’s my <a href="http://bensrpgpile.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/01/fire_sunrod.jpg" title="Crystal Clear" rel="lightbox[cc]" rel="lightbox[1276]" target="_blank"> <span style="color: #666666;">sunrod radius</span></a> again? Can I see that square?”</li>
<li>“Sorry, still confused – which area on the map is on fire?”</li>
<li>“I don’t get it…what mysterious rock is protruding out of that wall?”</li>
</ul>
<p>Son of a B@tch! Yes, these are all valid questions but they often deflate a DM’s initial storytelling rhythm. Ben always wants a game accessory that pops and better translates his module vision.</p>
<p>Three Sage Games has answered Ben’s cry for help with some crafty Crystalline Counters. They come in all different shapes, <a href="http://bensrpgpile.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/01/fire_combat.jpg" title="Crystal Clear" rel="lightbox[cc]" rel="lightbox[1276]" target="_blank"> <span style="color: #666666;">sizes,</span></a> and colors to help you better organize your game map and story components. Of course, Ben recommends the <a href="http://bensrpgpile.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/01/combo_pack.jpg" title="Crystal Clear" rel="lightbox[cc]" rel="lightbox[1276]" target="_blank"> <span style="color: #666666;">combo pack</span></a> for starters as you get a nice trial mix.</p>
<p>And there are plenty of color applications including:</p>
<ul>
<li>Black: Call it a special mineral, coal or mining material.</li>
<li>Red: Place it on a base to denote a bloodied creature.</li>
<li>Orange: Rejoice as you now have the perfect fire source.</li>
<li>Blue/green: Use ‘em to mark a gem stash on the map.</li>
<li>Purple: Search for the magic stone.</li>
<li>Clear: Uncover a great raw diamond find.</li>
</ul>
<p>Ben got fixated on the very affordable orange as the practical in-game <a href="http://bensrpgpile.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/01/fire_markers.jpg" title="Crystal Clear" rel="lightbox[cc]" rel="lightbox[1276]" target="_blank"> <span style="color: #666666;">fire uses</span></a> are abundant (so consider picking up a dedicated pack of that color). Remember – the best game accessories occasionally spark great encounter ideas. So why not pick up some Crystalline Counter packs for your Battlemat and see what new plotlines unfold?</p>
