Spell Cards

[Naidim]

I've been writing down spell/monster/character information on 3x5 cards for as long as I've been playing D&D (1979, yes I'm old), however, my handwriting is horrendous and on occasion I can't even read what I've written.

Recently I took my knowledge of PHP and incorporated it with dynamic PDF creation to create spell cards for use. I've made this little script available on the web and would like to share its use and get some feedback. Please try it out, tell your friends, and let me know what you think.

Very nicely done. Thanks!

Very nice, although I noticed that the range and duration could do with accepting more text.

Updated to allow more characters for range and duration.

Thanks for all your hard work Naidim.

Just to let you know how I am using this, I am copying each spell that I have out of the SRD and saving the pdf. I also purchased some of the book covers offered on RPGNow, and am creating spellbooks for my players to physically have at our games. If they want to transfer the spell, then they make their checks, and if successful, they transfer the spell to their own books (which I have bought covers for and let them choose which one the want). They also have a copy electronically with all the spells and covers combined.

Sounds great. I personally use it for the few Paladin spells I actually use instead of having a long list to worry about.
