Remember that time Conan* was surrounded three-deep in a mob, so he pulled out a 6-pack of Potions of Healing, chugged them all, and mowed down every last kobold?any memorable saying / quotes / tactics or defining moments would be awesome.
Yes, FG let me resize images, so it wouldn't be a problem there. The issue would only come up when I print. I am well versed (well enough at least) in the arts of card creation and the resolution issue. My problem exactly is to filter what is pertinent information and what is everything else. Not that I have no clue, but it's hard to trace a line, and that's what I am trying to find here, some imput besides mine.Fantasy Grounds allows you to resize cards, doesn't it? I ran a 4E game partially online ages ago, and the cards I designed for the online player had the pertinent information written on the top part of the card at an easily readable size, but then absolutely everything else they could possibly need in the teeniest tiniest readable font on the bottom half of the card. I don't know if you have that kind of control over card resolution though.
You are joking, but you know, I like the idea to do a special joke card with this kind of stuff.Name, birthday, class. Insurance status. (I use Orc R Us), Height before rocks fall and everyone dies, Blood type (vlad ask for that). Lootable or not.
I would not put stats. But, you might put a list of traits (Pack Tactics, Amphibious, etc) though honestly I like the description Li Shenron mentioned. I could see the top half of the card a picture and the bottom half a description of their abilities. Actual stats are not important, that they have this ability or that ability is.
When it comes to items, you can keep a similar theme; name at the top with a picture, then below perhaps stats, but more importantly the description, though I would include any special abilities (flaming, sheds light, etc)
For PC cards, I don't think I would do stats, because those change. But class, sub-class, race, personality, background and any memorable saying / quotes / tactics or defining moments would be awesome. Could even put the quote on the edge of the image or such in italics so it's like speech.
YepAre you LordEntrails from FG forums by any chance?
Up to you, but I would avoid stats since those change. But if you do go that route, then I would try to pick a moment in time. i.e. the stats when they defeated some big adversary or completed some milestone.5. Character Cards - Those I will probably go for Cosmic Encounter Big Cards, but here lies most of my doubts. Not sure if I should go for Stats so they could substitute their sheets (well, not totally, but at least 80% of times), or if I should go full description trying to get an emotional reaction. Maybe just a plain demographic description. Not really sure what to do here.
