Ander, another big thumbs up. One thing I learned last night is that you DEFINITELY want a place on the cards to write the attack and damage for that particular character. A lot of time was spent figuring it out on the fly; having it right on the card would be great.
Definately, if space does not make it impossible having both the formula (Attack: Wis vs. Will etc.) and a blank box where one can write the current result would be the most usable in the game from my limited preview experience.
For a couple of months already I was considering the idea of putting all the inventory on 2.5 x 3.5 cards. Today I started to implement the idea. Here is my first try.
The upper text box can serve different purpose - you can write a fancy name for the item there or just +1 flaming or something like that. More information can be included on the back of the card. I intended to give each player a binder with the classical character sheet in a plastic file and 2-3 card sheets from MtG album to keep their stuff.
P.S. The image of the sword is taken from http://www.trueswords.com/. No copyright infringement intended - I am not going to distibute this one.
Lots of awesome stuff here but I am confused, I have KoTS and would love to get some cards for the pregens there including the 2nd and 3rd level powers. I tried messing around with MSE before and got nowhere, has anyone compiled such a thing and if so is it in this thread?
If you compile all the powers from KoTS (preferably in txt format) I'm sure we will all be very happy to make power cards for you
I have been trying to learn MSE. im not at all good as you folks are. But using Tintagels formats, and watching his video many times, and looking at all the created stuff on the website (trolls, quindia, Randolph, etc; and the posters suggestions here) i'm slowly starting to get the hang of putting in text. Here is kinda what i came up with using his stat cards.
I dont know how you guys come up with the art, backgrounds, and wonderful colors. but keep up the great work!

If you use the plastic sleeves then you can use a erasable pen and write the total damage on the sleeve. then you change it as needed.

I was thinking of taking away grids all together. Just use a tapemeasure and Warmachine style minis. Gonna see how that changes the games. Firecubes and all.
Late commer to the thread and all, but I was just deciding to try this as of late last week...
Also, @ Tintagel:
Some cards I found on Educatedgamer.net under Paladin-Pregen.pdf, I think the action icon of Channel: Divine Strength looks off. It has the cog of the Standard action, not the Asterik of the Minor action, but is listed as a Minor action.
Hope that helps...

Very nice work. However, as it's not quite what I was looking for, I've started tinkering with my own design (incorporating elements of the other sets, like the icons). It's still work in progress, but in case anyone's interested, I've attached some samples of what it looks like right now. Basically, I'm going to stick with a rather simple design and forego fancy graphics, as my printer wouldn't handle them very well anyway.
Also, I have this idea in my head of having the rules text on the card, but prominently featuring amply sized fields where I can fill in any variables so they are available at a glance. A landscape format seems to work best for that.
In case you're wondering, of course Eye Bite is normally an at-will ability, but it would be per encounter for my warlord.
cheers
Any chance of getting these in an MSE file? I think if you could put say the action type symbol where you have the hand and a box at the bottom saying what type and level of the power they would be exactly what I am looking for. I like the others that have been posted alot but the boxes put it over the top. (plus they are simple and very affective)
PS: Is there any reason why the creative commons license was removed from the site?
Sorry I've been gone for a while. Google Sites recently consolidated domain and gmail login URLS to a /a/ address rather than an /a/ and /e/ (look in the URL above to see where that difference lies). Anyways, I set up redirecting and http://4e.educatedgamer.net should be working within the next 24 hrs or so.

(The hand is the current symbol for a standard action)
Anway, things have come up. I have not had the time to further work on the cards, and I probably won't at least until the weekend. When I do, I might implement them in MSE, but I haven't really looked into that yet.
I've found myself with some time on my hands after all. I have had a look at MSE and now have the beginnings of an MSE template. Basically I went and murdered randolph's, I mean used that as a basis to see what's what (thanks ). I'll probably try and get things polished up for my KotS game on Sunday, but in case anyone would like the preliminary version, here it is. It obviously still needs work. Oh, and I hacked the game file a bit, so keep that in mind if you switch between templates.
