Making your own power cards

[tristan_tewksbury]

Ok when i click on the link to download the set, the file download box pops up and asks if i want to open or save this file. If I open it the files are extracted, if i save it they it just saves the zip file. So how do I get the complete set file so MSE can read it.

IIRC, the answer was buried in this thread somewhere. IE has a problem with the file and renames it to *.zip rather than *.mse-set. If you just rename the file *.mse-set, it should work fine.

Oh, and insert obligatory plug for Firefox here

Thanks for the help, I got it to work. Ander00 and DennisB templets will not work though.

If you need someone to check info let me know how I can help.

Also where did the Bard and druid powers come from did someone make them up? When the PHB2 comes out in 2 months are you going to change that?

Do you need help with inputing the Invoker and warden info?

again thanks for the help

Thindariel has updated the Ander template. It should work with Beta 3.

The Bard and the Druid powers are ones I got off of work done here on ENWorld. When the PHB2 comes out, we'll keep what we have. There will be a PHB2 set and the original ENWorld set. We'll most likely start entering in more 'optional' material from ENWorld here shortly - that way you can enjoy the fruits of all the ENWorld contributor's labor. (There are some truly awesome ideas on this board).

I *believe* that the Invoker and Warden (found on Dragon #371) have not yet been started. If you want to volunteer for this, you need to head over to toosigma and jump to the 'How can I help' thread. There's a link there that goes to our main card enterererererer's WIKI page where the Drunken Ewok whips all the card entererererererererererer's into doing his evil bidding.

On that note, however, I will say that; with the exceptions of 2 Dragons, most of the Dungeons and a few modules, the UCS has been caught up and now includes ALL of the 4E material available.

OK I just paid MediaFire to go "Pro" and can now upload through my Web site to them, so that they can eat the bandwidth.

Man, I feel almost dirty.

Again, the password to the zip is as described before.

Here is the URL to the latest export, which is the 3700 card UCS export, but this time with fixed [W].

I'll fix the original export I did next with the new, larger set next week.

Get the ZIP at:
http://www.mediafire.com/file/mfmgocndtjy/ucs_thindariel_simple.zip

And remember, use your PHB to unlock it! (I describe this is the previous page of this thread)

Here is the Hirahito style of the UCS with some options changed away from defaults (because I liked how the new options looked better).

It is PDF and arranged in Landscape. I thought I read you got more cards per page that way, but you don't. But it took 5 hours to process, so I am not going to change it, at least not right now, as I am going to produce the UCS in a few other of the readily available styles so that people have options.

Oh, and it's 37 MB. Yeah - that's big.

Edit: OK It's on my site. Urgh. I hope that doesn't kill me bandwidth.

Here is the url to the file THE ZIP IS PASSWORD PROTECTED - KEEP READING

I want to be sure people are using my work only if they legitimately have a PHB (instead of as a replacement for it). Thus, the password is the first word you'll find on page 22 of the PHB.

And don't usurp my protection by posting the password on the thread or I'll change the password and the zip. (Or possibly just remove it, which benefits no one.)

Draco -

Very cool. And yes, I like those options as well. When I chose the one I did, I went for the one that three people picked as their top or near the top. And that's also why I added the ability to change the template - so you can customize the looks.

I also very much like the fact you kept the centering turned on for the top section even when only one icon is 'on'. I'll most likely change my Beta4 template to do the same.

Thanks for posting the PDF's. I've been wanting to do that for ages, but the danged things just were too large.

ALSO NOTE - When typing in Draco's password, the FIRST LETTER ONLY is uppercase! Even though the PHB shows as all upper case, it's not!!

Good point. I thought it showed the first as upper, but I'll be sure to update my post with a hint to this.

And thanks for the kudos! (Though the one you downloaded will need some fixin! Monday!!)

Nice cards Draco. Thanks alot for all your work.

Alright, here is a preview of the latest revision of my template. Since all of the changes are not evident in these samples, I will give you a qiuck list of changes since 1.0.

• There are now 5 fields on the left hand side, each of which can be individually toggled and filled with whichever information the player desires. Currently available are action type, defense, and attack bonus. Damage and possibly damage types will be included shortly.
• The information in the attack vs. defense field has been replaced with an icon showing the defense. Since the attack bonus is on the card, it seemed irrelevant to also include the attacking stat. If this is something people would like changed, I can work on icons for the attack stats as well, and put them in one of the other fields.
• The entire design has been tightened up in order to give more space for power text.
• Flavor text has been removed. My reasoning here was that at least in my games, players re-flavor the majority of their powers anyway, so having the text on the bottom of the card was pointless, and a waste of space.
• The icon sets have been redone. I am now using a mixture of the standard burst and blast icons, some of Grandpa's excellent icons, and the defense icons I have done myself. Let me know what you think.
• D&D Fonts Lolth and Mentor now used for the headings and power text respectively.

Now I just have to finish it up, and figure out how to actually make an MSE template out of my working PSD. Feedback always welcome!

How are these coming along?

I went to UCS site. Downloaded all templates and Dennis B don't work... Ehh. That what it gives to me.
