What did you used to originally create these cards before making them into PDFs? Is it something that can be shared so that people like me can make some more that match?
I appreciate the feedback, thanks! I used PowerPoint, and am happy to upload the PPT files (when I get a chance) and even give info on the creation process if there is interest.

I got MSE working under Linux, very straight forward with Wine v1.0.
Used Ander00's excellent set.
Anyway I needed some blank power cards so I created a new set using the Ander00 template. But when I created just some blank cards it is missing some of the gradients on the coloured headers, So it is just a flat red card or flat green. Anyone know how I can turn on the gradient and drop shadow??
Thanks again Ander00...

Could you update your set with green, red and black colors without the icons and with white place to put name of power? Just likt the one in orange4?
I know that they may be a little out of date, since it seems that many have moved on to boxes now. These power cards are more artistic and use more ink, but i like them
ooooh, shiny!
Anyways, you can also download my MSE files for powers levels 1-3. I don't think we can legally distribute any powers now. The GSL clearly forbids it. So grab the template and input yer own if you want. For those that forgot what these look like, here is a sample screenshot.
Long time reader, first time writer, just because i'm madly in love with those powercards.
I decided to use randolphs set, because of those fancy pictures.
I had to change some fonts and stuff (this MatrixBoldSmallCaps font has no "+", strange, maybe someone can help?) but alll credit goes to randolph.
In play I saw more potential, so I created cards for magic items as well (someone here had the great idea).
Those solo and elite monster now have a whole deck of different magic items and I let the players draw two or three (depends on monster). I know its a little "gamey" as someone said, put just look into the face of my players just before they draw and after one of them received something valuable.
For the session tomorrow i have prepared cards for the Player Characters to visually show initiative order and for me to have some player stats handy. This makes ready and delay actions quite easy, I suppose.
Thanks to all of you and please excuse my bad english
Is there any way to sticky this topic? I typically check back every few days to see if anyone has updated their Power Card sets and have to jump at least 2 or 3 pages into the forums before I can find it. Granted, most people may have already decided on a format to use and/or have begun making their own, but my group hasn't, so I like to keep track of the newer power cards.
I've been following this thread with great enthusiasm. So much so, in fact, it prompted me to make my own set of cards and MSE-SET.
I hope you enjoy it!

I am loving your set, but am wondering if you can give advice on making new cards? I really want to put the new Dragon powers in as well as things like Second Wind and such. I tried copying the cards but like if the card I copied says "Martial Weapon" I have no idea how to change that.

Thanks for the feedback!
I'm heavily updating my card definitions to allow people to enter them in by hand much easier.
Unfortunately, this means I've had to shift away from compatibility with some of the other formats.
I will be posting back here with this new MSE-SET as well as some other files to make everyones life easier.
I need to add a few more card color backgrounds, and I'm adding a new Hirahito2 card set that has a 3rd icon slot for those people that like icon heavy sets.
Since I have an automated C#.NET program I put together that rebuilds my MSE-SET from a text file, I'm going to be posting that up here shortly as well (as well as definitions on how to modify the original text file and so forth). I'm also going to be taking some hints from Ander and updating the text file with all of the optional powers from classes posted on this board.
I should be getting back to everyone within a day or so.

Awesome! I was hoping you were still working on these
Magus Coeruleus: my PPT Power Card Templates are here, along with a Tutorial PPT that explains how I used them. Hope it helps!
Thanks so much, and with the tutorial even, wow! I hope others find this as useful as I will. I'm going to make some potion of healing cards to hand out when they acquire them.
The elements I like to these are that it's not as ink heavy and just uses the color that is important for quickly identifying the refresh rate, and the special icons that visually indicate how area effects work.

I made a change to the Area burst icon and updated all of the templates / PDFs to reflect this. Updates and card pics here. Just two more classes to go for the complete card set!

Thanks Tintagel! I used your cards and they came out great and were super easy to work with and populate.
Thanks! Glad to see some folks are using those. I know they are ink hogs, but eh - shiny!
Oh, I've got some folks working on entering all the powers in the PHB. I'll announce it when it's done in case anyone wants them and host password-protected zips on the http://4e.educatedgamer.net site. There will be a few Q&A's just to prove you own the books before I send you the password. I don't want to be THAT blatant in breaking the GSL.
Everyone, especially those interested in playtesting the artificer: the set has been updated once again.
cheers
It can't be said too often or strongly. This set is awesome! Thank you, sincerely, for the hard work.
I read someone's post about the idea of using cards to track initiative. It could be very cool to have a template for each class with fields for common skills, defenses, name, art, etc. I could see that being really useful and fun for home games. A generic non-class set would be cool for Living or pick-up games.
