[QUOTE="InkwellIdeas, post: 6031385, member: 26988"] Thanks for the feedback so far... I've been revising the layout and have a new sample: [url]http://www.inkwellideas.com/pf-sample2.pdf[/url] I'd like to include more icons potentially. These are cribbed from an even earlier prototype version of the card backs, so they may look a little jaggedy. What do you think? Have better icon ideas? Ideas for icons of things that don't have icons yet? I'd also like to play with the font a bit as well still. I don't care for the font in bold, although I do think it makes sense to make keep the bolded items in a bold version of whatever font is chose. I will likely go back to the prior background texture. In addition to the layout changes (more boxes) and icons, I had to abbreviate more spells names, feats, etc because the fixed size boxes needed some extra room. Also note it is all now 7pt font except the skills and languages. (I felt these were of less importance.) BTW, I'm doing these samples as pathfinder because I felt that was a crunchy system and if I could fit all the info for that on the card back then I could fit most others as well. The actual survey leader for which system to make the card backs is "system neutral/generic info/knowledge check info". However, AD&D 1E/clone is #2 and it may be possible to combine those. D&D3.5 is tied at #2 and Pathfinder is #3, but the sample size is still pretty small. [/QUOTE]
