Converting D&D 2E Trading Cards to 3rd Edition (Updated: Apr 11/03)

[Knightfall]

Anyone else have some of these trading cards. I think it's an interesting idea that is worth getting into. Anyone have some favorite cards they'd like to convert. I've got a whole three ring binder full of 'em.

Excellent Idea!

I have kept my three boxes for this very reason. I can make any NPC when necessary. I'll convert some of my favorites when time allows.

Again, excellent Idea!

Glad someone likes it, I was begining to wonder if it was worth doing.

I've got some from the 1993 series as well. My fav from that set is Barnus the Scrag, the half-human/half-kobold rogue.

Later,

No chance of scanning the card image huh? (I guess that would be a violation of IP..)

Thanks for the hard work put in Knightfall. Perhaps a brief sentence about the character?
