SOTM EE & Vengeance Storage

So with Vengeance arriving shortly (mine's in already) how are YOU going to divide all your Sentinels goodness between the boxes?

I've chosen to have some of each type of deck in both boxes so I can just grab one of the boxes and go.

My Break down:

EE Box:

Heroes (13): Legacy, Bunker, Tachyon, Wraith, Absolute Zero, Tempest, Ra, Haka, Fanatic, Visonary, Unity, Argent Adept, Omnitron X

Villains (10): Baron Blade, Omnitron, Citizen Dawn, Grand Warlord Voss, Plague Rat, Apostate, The Ennead, Akash'bhuta, Iron Legacy, Ambuscade

Environments: Megalopolis, Wagner Mars Base, Insula Primalis, Ruins of Atlantis, Pike Industrial Complex, Tomb of Anubis, Time Cataclysm, The Block

Vengeance Box:

Heroes: (10) KNYFE, Naturalist, Parse, Setback, The Sentinels, Chrono-Ranger, The Scholar, ExPatriette, Mr. Fixer, Nightmist

Villains: (8 + V5) Spite, Chairman, Matriarch, Gloomweaver, The Dreamer, La Capitan, Kismet, Miss Information, Vengeful 5

Environments: Rook City, Realm of Discord, Final Wasteland, Silver Gulch, Freedom Tower, Mobile Defense Platform

How are you going to divide everything? By expansion? By Type? Alphabetically?

So far, I've split it up like this:

EE Box:

10 Base Heroes on the left side

13 expansion Heroes on the right side

RC/IR Box:

All Villains on the left side

All Environments on the right side

Vengeance Box:

Components! All HP tokens and modifier tokens.  Any extra copies of cards, promos, and dividers.  And of course, the oversized villain cards in their sexy new compartment.

I might shift things around (dragging all three boxes around with me when I bring Sentinels to a friend's place will probably be less than optimal).  But for now, it's organized and thematic :)

I have Vengeance villains, Environments and hero character cards in one slot of Vengeance box.

The other has Late alphabet heroes.

The EE box has all other villains on one side, with the foam divider and some playtesting decks on the other side o the foam.

The other side has The rest of the heroes.

It bothers me a bit, but it's the best I can do.

Are your cards sleeved? BVecause I can't fit sleeved cards nicely in mt EE box. 

Nope, at the cost of replacement I don't think it is worth it.

I've sorted it so my heroes are all in the Core box (alphabetically by name, within their own set, so Core, then Rook City, then Relics, then Timelines, then Vengeance) with Core heroes on the left and expansion heroes on the right, and then I've moved all my villains and environments into the Vengeance box - villains on the left, environments on the right (again, each sorted alphabetically by name in order of expansion) :).

Heroes in EE. Villains and Environs in Vengeance.

I expected the Vengeance box interior to be the same as EE and Rook/Infernal, but it's not... It's divided into three sections: two for regular cards (like the previous boxes) and one designed for all the oversized cards. So be sure to adjust your plans accordingly.

Ill be waiting for my go7gaming insert ... xD

EE: Heroes, alphabetically, with foam rubber inserts to keep them from sliding around

RC/IR: don't have the new combined box, but it will likely store things like 1st edition base set, original printing RC & IR, and the playtest decks that I printed

V: left (and front of right) Villains (excluding V5), alphabetically; continuing on right Environments, alphabetically; then V5 Villains; front has counters, laminated copy of 1st edition Ra, and a copy of homebrew decks, and the oversized Villains

original RC box has all the manuals

You can in fact still put cards in the third section.

I've got it pretty simple: Heroes and environments in the EE box, Villains (and in the 'extra' section, oversized cards and tokens) in the Vengeance box. With two foam blocks, fits almost perfectly.

This.

All of my heroes in the Rook City/Infernal Relics box, with 2 of the foam blocks to fill empty space.

All of my villains in the new Vengenance box, then all of my environments, then the Vengeful Five, then the oversized villain cards and tokens in the horizontal area along 1 of the foam blocks to fill space if I take out a lot of cards.

Enhanced Edition is unused for the time being.  All of the expansion boxes are unused as well.

Vengenace only contains the vengeance cards, my promos, the tokens, and the scholar (who I moved so I could actually not struggle to take heroes out of the EE box).

I try and organize based of difficulty so players have an idea about the hero of vilain they choose. Environments are more random because I couldn't come up with a system I liked

I figure the extra space in vengeance will be gone once I have WotC

i was wondering if you have your cards sleeve will they fit in the vegenace box. Because i want to keep my cards from having coke or something else spill on them. if you could let me know. cause i just want to keep them in good shape.

Be careful when you play at Tony Montana's house then.

I use penny sleeves, and was able to (with slight modifications to the EE box) fit all of my heroes plus two extra Legacy decks into the EE box, all of the villains into the parallel sections of the Vengeance box, and all of the environments into the 'Oversized Card' section of Vengeance, plus two Chessex D10 packs at the ends of the lines in EE and all the tokens (bagged) in with the environments in Vengeance.  Oversized villain cards rest on top of the other villains, rulebooks are stacked on top of EE.

That said, I may be looking into the feasibility of getting an RC/IR box when WotC hits.

I use Mayday Premiums, and although the sleeves allow the cards to fit into the box ITSELF fine, it take the entirety of both the EE box for the heroes and the IR/RC box for The Scholar, the villains, and the environments.

okay thanks for the responed to my question. because i loved playing this game. i have all the expansion just waiting to pick up my copy of vengeance.

If you use Fantasy Flight Sleeves they will not fit in the box. 

i use perfert fit from Max Protection

I use Max protection sleeves and they fit in the box for the second printing of the enhanced edition (my friend has the first printing and they don't quite fit in there apparently) They take up more space in the box though- my EE box fits the core cards and then all the mini expansions, but by the time they're in there the box only just has enough room for my bag of tokens.

When I get the IR/RC and vengance boxes my intention is to try and have a box that holds all the cards my mother doesn't now (she currently only has the EE, unity, ambuscade and silver gulch) so when I go to visit her I can take the cards she doesn't have easily.

Since I'm getting a (rather large) fan expansion printed, I won't be able to fit everything (unsleeved) in even when I get the Vengeance box. I'm considering using some of my mad craft skillz to make my own smaller box just for the Cauldron - I usually don't even consider splitting up heroes or villains or environments, but since the Cauldron's unofficial I can reconcile myself to that.

Assuming that Printerstudio's cards are the same thickness as the official cards, the expansion would need just over half of an EE-sized box. 

What type of card stock did you use, I love the Linen cards, but they are about 2/3 the thickness of the official cards.  I have them sorted into the official cards and it is noticable.

I went for the standard smooth cards. Cheaper, and I thought they'd match the official ones better. 

I do love linen texture though. This'll be my first look at the quality of PS stuff (first order from any POD service in fact) so I'm looking forward to seeing how they look. They should arrive at the end of next week. 

How much did you order of it, I have the first 6 heroes and There are a few that are in regular rotation.  My sister loves the Zombie Summoner and Vanish has become one of my favorite decks to play.

Let me know how the smooth looks and feels, I need to place another order once a few more decks get finalized.

Dammit, typed out a long response and Chrome crashed.

Short answer: first 7 heroes, first 3 villains, first 3 environments plus the joke Tall Grass. HP tracker cards x17. Fan promos. Some official promos that I only have crappy proxies of.

Next order will be the rest of the Cauldron stuff once it's finished, including the joke Musical Swordsman hero. Three errataed Doc Havoc cards that I forgot to change in my first order. Cauldron dividers. My versions of Spiff's search sheets (his aren't the right dimensions for large cards, so I laid out my own). Probably Machi Koro and a reskinned Love Letter. 

What dimension would you prefer the Search Sheets be?  They're only formatted the way they are now to make them fit four-to-a-page.  If I could manage that while still making them work for some other purpose, I'd probably be up for that.

If I could fold them in half and have them be the size of a card, they'd be perfect. Right now, they're so close to that, but I have to trim just to the text and it still doesn't quite fit.

That's my suggestion, anyway. Anyone else?

Thanks for asking, Spiff!

You're saying you wish each sheet was the size of an individual card?  That would make them easy to slip into the deckbox they go with, but for some of the sheets there's no way I could smoosh all that text all down to 2-1/2 x 3-1/2 inches.  You wouldn't be able to read it!

No, totally agree! I want to be able to fold them in half to make them the size of a card.

That doesn't sound hard.  I'll see what I can do.

Oh and my AZ and Scholar sheets are on standard cards since there's not much text. 

My versions were formatted to fit the large cards that Printerstudio offers which are twice the size of standard poker cards - 3.5"x5.75" (89mm x 146mm). I had some space in my large card order so I figured why not slot the search sheets in there?

Mine don't have fancy graphics though since I lack Photoshop-fu. And Unity in particular was somewhat difficult to fit all the text in that area while including the necessary bleed at the edges. Hopefully they're clear enough. I've attached Fixer's card as an example, if you want to have a look.

If I'd just printed at home I'd have been fine with your sheets Spiff. I like them a lot, such a good idea.

Well, here's a sample storage solution for sleeved cards that is less fancy, but seems to be working for me.  Attached some pictures as well.

Base Storage box is a plastic Sterilite file folder box.  I picked up the pictured one in a Target store for $10.  Sufficient depth and width (barely) as will be shown, and the lid has some storage as well.

(See Attachment 1)

The bottom of the storage box fits the Rook City/Infernal Relics expansion box.  The RC/IR is wide enough to fit cards sleeved with Dragonshields - the EE box is not.  Therefore, the RC/IR box holds all the villain decks and all the environment decks but four.

(See Attachment 2)

On top of the RC/IR box go two layers of smaller boxes - 12 boxes per layer.  These are empty Dragonshield boxes being repurposed for each holding a hero deck.  Plus one box holding four environment decks.  There is enough room on the top left for a small notebook to lie flat as well.

There is also a large manila envelope that slips down one edge of the box.  In this are the rules pamphlets from EE, RC/IR, and Vengeance.  Plus the over-sized villain cards and the hero divider cards.  I use the last with new players as a way to introduce the various heroes to them.

(See Attachment 3)

Last of all, the clear plastic flip-top storage on the box is used to hold status, markers, HP tokens, and a few miscellaneous items like extra dividers.

(See Attachment 4)

That's really neat, Silverleaf! You should post them. Not that I think either of the options are better or worse, but giving folks a choice is always a good idea, in my book. 

I don't know if I've ever said this, but the Search Sheets wasn't my original idea.  There was a person on BGG who posted the first ones.  I loved the idea so I copied it and added a little Photoshop-fu to it, but when I went to find the name of the guy who'd posted the original version, I couldn't find it to give him credit.  Whoever you are, you magnificent person, I thank you.

What do we think of the this Search Sheet?  Each one is the size of two playing cards (vertically, not horizontally).  If we think this is the way to go, I'll update the rest of them.  Rabit's right, they're almost that size anyway, so it's not a ton of work.

The EE box I use for my heroes is from the newest printing, so it's probably the same size as the RC/IR box. As soon as I get my 1st copy of Rook City back from a friend I'll be selling a full box of all sets before Vengeance for $50, which is half price, I'll be asking around at my game club first. They are my old sets and have gotten quite a bit of use and the edges are getting worn down (mostly just the Heroes), it's the main reason I'm sleeving my new sets.

I think it looks great, Spiff. Thanks!

Thanks, this is the win! The foam blocks can keep the environments apart from the heroes, and the regular villains apart from the Vengeful Five, too (for now).

Heroes in EE box.

Villians and Environments in Vengence box.

Tokens (slowly going) in Altoids boxes. You can fit about 9 or 10 Altoid tins in the oversized card side with the V5 villians underneith them.

As an added bonus, your game will smell like mints :)
