Anyone got a good-looking, printable set of counters to use on paper? Specifically for Spelltable, but also in-person (lemmy.ml)

I've already made some of them (loyalty and +1/+1) but they don't convince me. I'm looking to remake those and also add -1/-1, ability counters, and a way to differentiate between +1/+1 counters and "creatures get +x/+x”. Would be nice to also add some counters for Commander Tax and for tokens (for when I have multiple Treasures, for example).

Before I spend a whole day designing them, I wanted to see if anyone got something already!

Since I know the question is gonna pop-up anyway, I'll answer now: I'd rather print and glue them on paper than buy plastic dice. Seen some non-plastic on Etsy, but they're too expensive for my liking. Printing them at home is gonna cost me basically nothing so I'd prefer that!

Thank you in advance!

My husband and I have always used those flat bottom glass marbles you can get for vases. They are dirt cheap and come in different colors. And then everyone just agrees on what color represents what type of counter. They make good upkeep markers too.

I did consider something like that, but in my playgroup we're all pretty new so I'd rather have something more specific so there are no mistakes or people asking every other turn what any of the colors mean! Just to make everything easier for everyone
