Once you've installed the program, look into the install folder. There should be a folder called "data", then just extract the contents of my .zip-file into that "data"-folder, and start up the Magic Set Editor. Choose "New Set", then you get a selection of different card (games) styles. The last one should be the D&D Power Cards.
Wow, great stuff. I'm having a bugger of a time printing these out though. I got some 3x5 inch cards, but the smallest my printer slidy thing will go is 4inches..
I'll have to try an get some 6x4 inch and print two cards per card.
Knight Otu: I took your template... and polished it a bit with a new background, and some auto-bolding.
I've attached an example - what do you guys think?
Also: A link to my take on your template, if anybody wants it... (also includes the version with place for a picture, though I like that one less - too cramped for the longer powers. Plus: You have different colours and a b/w version, if you're unwilling to use too much ink).
Cheers, LT.
That looks like nice work, ....except you made an edit to the game file that my templates don't like (capitalizing the name of the choices in the background field). If someone wanted to use your templates and mine, they'd need to edit some files themselves. Anyway, I'll make the changes for myself - would you mind if I post your styles on the repository (with proper credit, of course)?

What surpasses Ashardalon, is more despicable than the Great Wyrm?

1) Okay, that took me a minute to get into my system that you're Knight Otu...!
2) Yeah, I'm just bothered by a lack of capitalization - blame the German language for that!
3) Sure, go ahead and post it! Though I'll probably tinker with it, as I'm not happy with the landscape version - the power write-ups are not very landscape-friendly. And, of course, I'll update it, once we get to see more stuff that gets bolded (like Standard Action and so on). And get that dot to a star, like on the photos...

Sorry about that - I have it in both sigs that "we" are one and the same, but since sigs are only displayed once per page, that can be missed (once EN2 rolls around, the need to use the Ashardalon account should diminish).

You mean those? As a matter of fact, those should be pretty easy to create. There may be some problems (I'm pretty sure the image can't work like on the samples). If you can read into the game and style files, it should be pretty easy for you to create appropriate files for the stat cards. Otherwise, someone else might be willing to create the template for you.
What is needed, though, is better pictures of stat cards. The ones I linked above (likely) won't cut it. Ideally, a card cleaned up of the variable text and the image (a separate image of the speed box that appears for additional speeds would be nice but can be a duplicate of the normal speed box).
AZRogue, assuming you meant those cards, Benimoto posted very clear scans. I'm confident I can clean them up and create a template for use in MSE - just, as I said, without the pictures as used on the actual cards. Do you want me to go ahead?

Very very cool! I'm hoping to run one of the few one shot adventures here to introduce us to 4E ... these will make doing so much easier.
I wont be doing it face to face, but using MapTool + Skype. MapTool is in the process of implementing a deck / hand set of features that'll make this even better for online play. Neat way to test that feature, too!
Holy cow you guys, nice work. Well, I may as well post a link to my much less ambitious attempt. It's an excel file with two versions of a 4E character sheet (modeled after those used at D&D Experience), as well as blank (and very plain) power cards.
--Know the difference:-- Lose is a verb. Rhymes with booze and news. Means "to be unsuccessful in retaining possession of." You lose your turn when stunned. After you take an extended rest, you lose any unspent action points.
Loose is usually an adjective. Rhymes with deuce and caboose. Means "not fastened"--"Loose" is the opposite of "tight." You can use "loose" as a verb, but in that case it means "to set loose; release." You loosen a lightbulb. You loose an arrow at a target.
