    New site DnDPowerCards.com seeking volunteers

    Of course. You can use mine if you pay it forward... I'm currently looking for a database of all the critters currently out there (MM, the Dragons, etc) for a project I'm working on that will allow the DM to ask any question (Typing: 'Bull Rush' would bring up the info on Bull Rush as well as...

    New site DnDPowerCards.com seeking volunteers

    I'll tell you a trick if you promise to give credit to whoever's MSE set you use as a database... The MSE-SET files are flat TEXT files that have been zipped. Just unzip them and a file should appear called 'set'. This file is entirely in a text format that's fairly easy to format to your...

    Making your own power cards

    I'd be surprised if Avery didn't have one. Check out the Avery site and see if they do. I know for a fact there is a company that makes pre-cut playing card sheets in 8 and 9 per page formats. I haven't tried messing with MSE to get the cards to print on them yet (though I seriously want to)...

    Making your own power cards

    As I mentioned previously, my proggy currently splits it via: Information, Powers, Optionals, Items... and something else (which I forget). I can start doing it this way again - it's just so much easier (for me) to do it as one monolithic MSE-SET. -- Hirahito

    Houserule - Reroll instead of bonus

    Hmmmm.... Let's see. +2 to a D20 roll means you roll a 3 to 22. Min 3, Max 22, average: 12.5. Re-roll 1-2. Min 3, Max 20, average: 11.5. No thanks, I'll take the +2 to the roll anyday. -- Hirahito

    Making your own power cards

    The current program DOES split it up by category. I tried doing that for the 4.0 release and found it to be a giant, knobby, puss-filled pain in the ass. So I'm just releasing the MSE-SET separated from the template files and updating each separately. Compromise. It's how the world works...

    Making your own power cards

    I'm scheduled to release the C# proggy with the 4.4 release. I've been hesitating to do so because it's really not intuitive at all to use and I don't want to have to answer 1000 questions on how to get it to work. I'll probably slap a small document together explaining how to operate it with...

    Making your own power cards

    I believe you can export the card as an image. Then open up MS Word (or Open Office) and load in the proper Avery template (you can download them from their web site). Then paste the images into the template for printing. -- Hirahito

    Making your own power cards

    No promises. But I think I have what you need in the next version of my set. I have an option called 'Use alternate backgrounds' which switches Red to 'Blood' and Blue to 'Water' and green to 'Grass' (and so forth). The important part of that being; when you print these in black and white, it...

    Making your own power cards

    Nope. You have the right of it. Printing cards to PDF is a royal pain in the arse. And the file sizes are mammoth. I was going to print all of my cards to PDF and upload them to my site. I kept trying this some 5 or 6 times now. Each time I tried, the size of the PDF file increased from...

    Making your own power cards

    MSE uses two main files to determine how to read / display MSE-SET information. The first is the GAME file which is a flat-file that tells MSE what the fields are and how to treat them. This is your biggest hurdle because most sets are incompatible unless the GAME files are nearly identical...

    Making your own power cards

    I'll take a look at it. If they are I'll try and get them fixed for the 4.4 release. Dragon #368? I don't think so. I can see you guys (meaning the users of my cards) are going to force me to buy the Dragon and Dungeon subscriptions. You are, don't lie about it. I can hear you guys...

    Making your own power cards

    Not sure you understood what I was saying... I don't have a problem adding the cards from the adventures. I'm just not going to go out and buy a product I'd never use to do so. If someone (like YOURSELF, *cough*) want's to make the cards and send them to me, I'd be happy to add them into the...

    Making your own power cards

    Problem being - when I DM I *never* use official adventures. I find the characters (especially the power gamers) have already memorized the entire plot-line, NPCs, stats of the mobs, where all the treasure is, etc. I remember running one adventure where a magic sword was supposedly 'hidden' in...

    News for version 4.4... Version 4.4 is going to be a maintenance release which will have some code changes, a document on how to edit the fields using MSE, a packaged ZIP file which will have my C# program and some or all of the raw input files I used to build the versions and a few maintenance...

    Version 4.3 is Released... I'm releasing version 4.3 of my cards. This version has all AV items and the AV ritual. Thanks to TheBouncyPherret (aka EldritchFire) for sending me his Barbarian cards from the Dragon #368. Because he did all the work, I'm adding them into this version of the set...

    Mr. Plauge is correct. You can find more information on how to edit the MSE-SET directly in this thread: http://www.enworld.org/forum/4e-fan-creations-house-rules/241821-power-card-template-creation.html Currently, the 4.3 release of my set is slated to be released today or tomorrow with all...

    Making your own power cards

    Grandpa - In an earlier message, you had stated you wouldn't mind making icons for me. I'm holding you to that! Adventurer's Vault (AV) has some new slot types: Mount, Companion, Whetstones, Other Consumable, and Reagents. If you could make those icons and post them back or e-mail them to...

    Making your own power cards

    Unfortunately, since you and I use slightly different fields in our GAME files, our sets will never be 100% compatible. But I will take that as a suggestion to create not just a portrait template of your cards, but a landscape version that closely matches yours. The gamers in my current group...
