Hey Mike,
Thanks for the reply. First, let me say that I accept your decision and will do whatever our rule is. However I'd like to address this idea further.
While I understand the motivation, the logic inherent is flawed. If someone wanted to cheat, one could easy photocopy or even copy the design and print their own. As such all production tags already exist on a system of mutual trust.I suppose making them available might make it a little easier, but not by much. This took me about 30 seconds.

In any case I suppose my real gripe is not about the security, or lack thereof, but with having to manually add all of the scroll and potions I acquire in game to phys-reps before they can be used. I'd like to encourage switching to a policy where we put out scroll tags something like this:

Ideally we would also put out potions in vials. I know there was a large donation of potion vials a while back for this purpose, if we need more I'd be happy to donate more. I'd also be willing to help take the time to pre-stuff a bunch so they could be pulled for loot quickly during events.
I think it is entirely reasonable for characters who produce their own items with production to provide the potion phys-reps for them, but scrolls and potions that go out on monsters should really be properly phys-reped.
Thanks for reading my input!
