Power Card set

Allright, hopefully all links are fixed.

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.

MSE files (and .set file):

Let me know if you have any problems with these.

Yes the links are fixed but I still don't have the *.set file, Josiah. I really want to print a set out and I like how your cards look.

Hey, folks! Please don't use bold red text. We generally save that for "moderator voice."

We should probably document that somewhere.

Thanks!

As soon as I get some things finalized, I'll release it and update my page.

We're talking hundreds of cards, dozens of images and several hundred lines of configuration files... it takes a while to get right.

Oh sorry, Hirahito. I like your cards, the new examples you posted are great, Will the new cards have the boxes on the side for adding attacks and damage. Thanks for all your work.

All four of the new styles will have the side boxes. One only has 2, others 5 and the last two have 7.

I see those folders but I don't see a file similar to Hirahito_v3.mse-set that I found with that set is what I'm saying.

Ahh, gotcha. You're unlikely to see one from me for some time. The files just get updated too quickly for me to be ready to post them. I'm always impressed at how much work people like HiraHITO and Grandpa do on here (not to mention the others here).

P.S. Sorry for the mistype HiraHITO.

Dear Users of My Cards,

I created icons that designate Daily, Encounter, and At-Will abilities with an icon that fits just left of the upper-right action icon. I currently use them on blue "reference" cards and magic items, but I keep thinking it would be nice (yet redundant) on the actual Gray, Red, and Green cards as well.

Pros
  • Consistency between icons on "reference" cards and "power" cards
  • The possibility of grayscale printing without adjusting card colors
  • Colorblind users can distinguish cards at a glance (my office-mate is colorblind)
Cons
  • Redundant for those who see the colors fine
  • Slight clutter
Let me know what you think. The change literally only takes a couple minutes to make. (Maybe I'll just do it.)

I have the same issue, Grandpa.

I've gone with the text reference as well as the card color. I only use the Daily / Encounter / At-Will on the powers when they are on a Magic Item.

On the one hand, Mercutio and Plauge seem to be of the mind that there should be a minimum of text and a maximum of icons.

On the other hand, a lot of other card sets are either text only or a limited set of icons mixed with text.

Notice that none of them really use text and icons / color at the same time.

Just MHO, YMMV.

Since it was easy, I decided to just try it. If you check out the latest PDF, you can react to it.

Another con, perhaps, is that it further blurs the line between powers proper and magic items/reference actions.

Let me know!
