[QUOTE="jsepeta, post: 4586168, member: 77143"] [b]PDF help[/b] Wow. Took a couple of days to read through every freaking single post in this thread. I've already printed out Ander00's PDF set (which scaled down to fit on 8.5x11 -- now my cards are smaller than average!) and laminated them and have been cutting for 3 days. ugh. Only 5 more sets to go before Saturday's excursion with 2 players who are new to D&D, and my daughter, who has been running a different character in our 3.x campaign. I'm quite impressed by the progress that's been made with power cards over the past couple of months, and I'm thrilled to see so much awesome work done by Ander00, Grampa, Thindaraiel, eloquentaction, Hirahito, and others. Standardizing the data sets then farming out the tedious data entry to other members of the group makes a great deal of sense -- it's kind of that "open source" philosophy that will allow the game of D&D to expand and prosper beyond WotC's expectations. I've been playing 4e in a couple of groups and using Ander00's cards for my 6th level ranger Nariah was quite helpful in this past Wednesday's adventure. However, I still recognize a level of frustration from old-timers like myself with some of the changes WotC have introduced with the 4e version. For instance, many powers, abilities, and spells from 3.x and previous versions did not make it to the current version -- this has led to a more balanced game, but perhaps one that may seem a bit "genericized".
