You came to the same conclusion I did; there simply is no such thing as too much information handed to the players in card form.
Yeah... I did limit, though. For example, I have cards for things like light sources, overland traveling, and moving through difficult terrain in a graveyard, but I felt uncomfortable offering all of the PHB in card form. I ultimately limited the set to (a) things that make up and describe your character, (b) rules that touch the action (standard, move, minor, etc.) system, and (c) conditions.

I haven't used MSE much -- it was intimidating -- and I think the single-file thing might be a big pill to swallow for everyone, while the easily-shared data is an attractive advantage of MSE that makes them welcoming. I don't plan on updating my info with all of the upcoming splatbooks, so unless someone else picks up the baton (I only hope, not expect), they will remain useful only as a "core" set. Which works for me, since after buying all things 3.x, I decided to apply the KISS rule to 4e.

Not at all. If there's anyway I can make them more accessible, let me know.

Yeah - same idea. But a lot of the original card sets didn't have the plusses listed for races (as an example). Both you and I came to the decision that was a good thing to have.
I originally wasn't going to do equipment, but I think I like the idea of handing out cards when people buy things and then taking the sucker back when it gets used / destroyed. Too many lanterns used after I know for a fact that sucker got broken in the last pit trap. grrrrrr... Bad Player! BAD! No Chicken pot pie for you!!

Great job both of you. Josiah?... is there a link to the MSE?
Here you go. MSE files for the sets I have been working on. I haven't included the files for the class and race background variations. Those I will post once I finalize them.

I like that too. Another thing I was proud of with the weapon cards in particular was formatting them to have entries just like Basic Melee and Basic Ranged Attack cards. It doesn't last long since they get replaced with Magic Items, but if you use card sleeves, you can put the basic weapon card on the opposite side of a Magic Item card so you have the attack info with that particular weapon in addition to its magical effects/powers.

That is an interesting idea.
I wonder if I can do something similar for the weapons / magic weapons in my set? Hmmmm....

Grandpa, in your set, the Godstrike power of the Cleric (page 141 in your biggest PDF) simply has the name "Power Name". Probably overlooked the header there?

Yup. Fixed. Thanks for the catch!

I'm stunned at the work you've done, Grandpa! Stunned and delighted by it! Having printed so many of your cards already, I am thrilled that I can now print cards with pretty much everything that is worth having on a power card in the same style! Thank you! Now, please, have some rest!
Thanks man. I'm glad they're helpin' out.

Grandpa, you officially are my hero. Those cards are amazing and having them all in one pdf with bookmarks makes printing just what you need a snap. I may get in trouble with my girlfriend as I'll have some explaining to do to when I call out your name during sex... "Oh yes, oh grandpa!!" lol
