how goes your work on version 5? Will you be incorporating martial powers also?
It is taking a while, isn't it?
My apologies for that.
Since it is taking so long, I'm most likely going to throw up the new website with the older version 4.3 set of mine.
I haven't dropped version 5. I've been extremely busy due to the Holidays and I've seen a lot of set designers taking my set data and basically relabeling it as their own. I wouldn't really mind that so much if it wasn't for the fact that no credit to me was given for entering in what amounts to a huge amount of data.
So, with a feeling that I'm not even getting a kiss before I'm screwed; I've been disinclined to release the set 5 data which now has over 5,000 cards just to see everyone else 'suddenly' have all the same data in their sets.
To answer your question; yes. The set 5 data has all of the latest Dragon articles, Martial Powers and even some new ENWorld stuff in it as well as the fact I've now included the artifacts. I'm currently playing with two new types of cards; Initiative cards which allow the DM to quickly keep track of who is where in the initiative queue and mini-character cards which allow players to print their character sheet onto a set of about 5 cards. I'm not sure if these will make the final cut or not, but currently they're promising.
This new set even has some (what I think are) new ideas on allowing customization:
* The headers now allow you to pick your own color, so you're not restricted to a fixed list
* I've simplified the customization process down (my old sets had 50+ options and it was hard to customize the card, the new set has a lot of the settings on 'auto' which will change automatically according to just a few settings at the top)
* There are now 50+ card background images as well as 10 user defined images - these background images look kind of like a sepia picture that sits behind the rules text.
* There are now 10 user defined icons so you can define your own icons if you don't like mine (or add new ones if a new set of rules come up)
* There are now 10 user defined header masks which allow you to customize the top of the card
* There are now 10 user defined card background images which allow you to customize the way the card looks
* There are no more strange funky keyboard shortcuts for icons, actions, etc. Everything is in a drop down (including the card colors)
* There is now an option called 'Edit Mode' which allows you to see, enter and edit the 'hidden text fields' that used to show up only in the list
