I vote for this last one. Anyway you can make a version of the portrait backs that are slanted like this one? I think it's the best look. -- Hirahito

erf - Anyway you'd consider adding these as a template to the UCS project? These are a great character / monster type cards for everyone to use. -- Hirahito

pdzoch - Can I have your permission to take this idea and place it into the UCS? We need card backs and I like the design of these. -- Hirahito

Thindariel says he's converting his two formats. One of them is horizontal. Mine are typically portrait (I personally like that format better), but I will most likely be converting all of my 4.3 templates over. One of these is a horizontal card. And the way UCS works - it works with any...

I have code for that.

Those look good.

I'm confused.... so you HAVE made changes....? "...Not...No..."??

This is close to what I was thinking. Right now, a Letter sized sheet of paper holds 3 cards across and 3 deep of 2.5"x3.5" cards. So, if you knocked the card size up to 3"x5" cards, you'd get 2x2 on a letter sized sheet with .5" gaps. You should be able to fit most monsters onto a 3"x5"...

Dennis - Unless I'm very much mistaken, that's Mercutio's and Black Plauge's card format. To my knowledge, they are the only ones that have made the monster card format work on a standard 2.5" x 3.5" format. They even talked about not being able to put the powers on the card and were talking...

Sample card image from the UCS version 1. Hope you guys enjoy. This is just from *ONE* designer in a beta project. So far we've got at least two card styles in works with a lot more in the future if more card designers will step forward. NOTE: Yes, the icons are a bit off, the styling...

Maybe we'll just update the combined cards we have to make it more apparent which level item has which plus and which cost. Right now they are kinda confusing. -- Hirahito

Version 1 of the UCS is going Beta. We'll have a few people check it on TooSigma before releasing it. Within the next few days we'll be releasing the first template for the UCS, and then we'll start releasing the flat-file converter as well as the first set of actual set data. We're...

The UCS just uses MSE. No online required. I can understand DennisB's viewpoint, but I think he's being a bit too optimistic; life throws strange curves at you, including stay-at-home dads. Tomorrow you may find you have no spare time for the next 3 months and everyone that's come to rely on...

Well said. That's exactly what the UCS is all about. We're also trying to expand the basic idea behind it to make it more versatile. That way, you don't have to create a set that does everything. Attempting to do so is exhausting (trust me on this). End Users and Designers are constantly...

You should. DnDI includes monster creators, encounter editors, the character builder (which is supposed to include ALL levels come late January), as well as all of the Dragon articles. I can think of a lot worse things to do with $5.99 a month. I'm still plugging away at the UCS Project...

Yes, actually I did. It's a great idea. But since I wasn't sure if you were on-board with the new project, I figured we'd have to write our own. Plus, I have an idea on how to parse the tags (using an EVAL or something similar) to change the box contents box(es) to match the equation(s) in...

Shows how busy and hectic things have been. The new website is an old design that I don't really like (but it looks remarkably better than nothing). I threw it up there to at least get a place holder. I've got two projects at work that HAVE to get done before the end of the year. I've got...

Technically true. But I can see using symbols in the Magic Items and they are semi-required for Monster cards. Plus, it's nice to have the option. But you're right - technically they don't need to be there. -- Hirahito

There's a solution that solves both problems. First - there HAS to be a symbol font or no symbols can be included inside the rules or flavor fields. There's a way to automagically add a drop down symbol selection list to the Insert Symbol tab in MSE and I've added that code to this...
