This is awesome work! It's clear and esay to read. Not so much colors and nice icons. Keep the good work! Only one thing is realy strange. Bold doesn't function when I print the cards. In MSE all is ok but not when printed
Sorry this is so late in fixing this, but I finally got my BASE zip file to include the symbols folder that folks have been asking for. I've simply been away for a while.
To make amends, I have uploaded three new themes: 2 racial and another class.
Click on the Power Cards page, then Working Files. I will keep pecking away at the powers to get some PDFs up this weekend.
P.S. I have also updated my latest Photoshop file for all my card themes (it's all in one file). It's also in the working files section - so have at, and feel free to make changes and post them for us to benefit from. I know that some of my cards are a bit heavy on the ink!
Ok, I consolidated my full theme set plus all necessary files and fonts in to a 9 MB file on the site. It's the first file on the Working files page. Enjoy!
For those running Keep on the Shadowfell, I've produced two PDFs of interest.
The first contains every power you'll need for the 6 official characters (including the recently-posted Warlord), and the second contains a card for every magic item in the adventure, including formatting the card as appropriate if the magic item gives a power. I also added some flavor text for all the magic items.
One note: The Inspiring Word in the powers PDF is incorrect (just delete the +4 healing so it's just 1d6). A correct version of the power is included in the items PDF.
How do u open the file up in MSE. Do i put the file in specific folder?
Put them into your "Magic Set Editor\data" folder. If you want to be able to switch back to the other templates, be sure to backup the "game" file from "D&D.mse-game". You should then be able to open a set and change it to this style (though you will have to re-enter some information), or make a new one.

I'm sorry, I don't know why it wouldn't work. I can print cards just fine. I am currently using a different font though, so perhaps that'll do it. I'll post an update when I have had time to work on it a little more.
p.s.: perhaps someone more experienced with MSE could see about making the game files compatible again once I am done murdering my version?

Computer question, when I go to the site I am unable to down load the file. When I click for a down load, a new web page page comes up and says click here to down load, but nothing happens.
When I use my desktop computer ( at home)i am able to down load the files, just click on them and the down load begins. It seems like my laptop is stuck on an old site or has a bug or something. Any ideas on how to fix this if not i will just wait until i get home . I am on the road and will not get to my desktop for a few weeks.
Thanks
Hmm, not sure why but the text for some of the titles goes well over the boundaries of the card graphic.
Yeah, I noticed that too. Unfortunately I don't know how to fix it. I made the PDFs with CutePDF distiller, which essentially impersonates a printer so that you just "print" from any application. I wonder if that's the cause? In MSE, it resizes the text of the titles to fit the long ones, and it seems like it does that by adjusting space between letters rather than actual font size so maybe that adjustment's getting lost in translation.
@Ander00
yeah that could be a problem. font is very important. There's one suggestion. There is little not enought room for power description. Try Acid Arrow description.
Shrinking isn't handled correctly when printing. It's a known bug that'll be fixed in the upcoming version 0.3.6. Export handles it correctly, however.

tintagel, to avoid trawling through the ten pages of posts here that I won't understand the half of anyway, I wanted to ask a question about your template.
As I understand it, the template you posted just recently (here) is like a plug-in for MSE?
To avoid running MSE myself and in-putting all that data (yes, I'm lazy), will anyone be making PDF's using your template?

Yea go to his web site...a few posts back and there is a page that has finished cards in i think 3 or 4 styles.
Few more things. It will be very great if you add icons for free action and personal as a target. Also making a fourth silver color to choose for use to creat magic item cards! If you add all this it will be perfect mse set for me!

There's already an icon for personal, it's just not listed in the tooltip. Hit p.
