Well, most icons and symbols and so on are pretty much all self-made - by Grandpa, misalo and co. The only things re-used are the blast/burst/melee/ranged icons from the MM. These are quickly replaced by something similar that conveys the same idea.
And once the DDI -> powercards converter works, we really don't have to use anything directly from WotC.

Except that I am pretty sure that the *.dnd4e files for characters don't have the power card text within the XML. So you would still have the full WOTC power text issue to contend with.

Haven't looked at them yet, so well, that's probably bad - but seriously, having the template alone is pretty great already!
Since I made a large portion of the icons in my set with Black Plauge, I'm not worried about that being an issue. I stopped putting my power cards online anyway because not many people were downloading. (Per mediafire, I've got about 1500 downloads per set for the basic PHB1 classes). Plus the tediousness of hand entering all the data was driving me nuts. Now I only make the cards that I need.
I'll soon have that kind of time myself. I just finished my advanced degree (a Master's in Creative Writing--I'm a poet), and I'll soon be staying home with my second daughter (in April).
That said, I think I'll stay away from the IP C&D stuff by not posting anything other than templates, if I even feel the need to tweak what I have, which so far I don't.
I do have to say that I'm liking the UCS idea. I think Hirahito (Eloquentaction) et al have done a fantastic job with it. I still like mine though because I like using visual icons rather than text.
Hey, folks! We want to make sure that we're not hosting or linking to illegal use of WotC's IP. That's been a big problem with power cards. As a result, if you've linked to a problematic site anywhere in this thread, or have wotc IP uploaded here in power card form, please remove it.
Morrus has provided additional guidelines in a sticky thread in this forum.
Thanks!

I like Ander's card template an I've been using it a lot.
I like it has the boxes where I can write with a pencil the exact current attack mod and damage. It's more of a quick reference on how what to roll that way.
No, I've noticed they designed the new version without them, and I was totally bummed about it.
Is there another version of them which has the boxes? I mean compatible with the UCS. No other card compares to these for me, because none seems to have the thing of the boxes.
If not, I'll be forced to use the old ones I've been using.
Edit: Been looking at all the sets in UCS, and noticed they show my loved writeable white boxes in the previews, in fact, there are some invisible fields that look like them in the card design. How do I enable them? Did i install anything wrong?

Hirahito--
I'm in love. You rock my world. I, and my 7 other cronies who have been playing every Friday since '02 sincerely appreciate your efforts and phenomenal cards.
I'm new here. I have been printing out Ander's wonderful set for my PC's.
I would like to use it for Rituals as well as Powers. To that end, I've created some icons, but have no idea how to add them to the MSE. I PM'ed Ander about this, but he may be too busy/uninterested/etc at the moment.
Does anyone have any experience with adding images/icons to the MSE?

I like your icons but don't really know how to get them into MSE. The most I've done is swap out the existing icons for some I liked better. My attempts to add new ones have met with abject failure.

I can copy and paste the icons used within the set, and when I use the M:TG template to create item cards, it has a space marked "Double click to add photo."
