[QUOTE="WBruce, post: 7995056, member: 6701967"] Hi, I am creating some cards for my D&D campaign. Since we play over Fantasy Grounds there is no need to print the cards. Nonetheless, I wish to give my players both a gift to remember, and try to make things more real. I do believe that when you can see your sword, and "take it in your hands" you create a relation with it. I remember on my old Magic and Vampire card games to really care about them. That is what I am going for. The problem: I am having some issues to find out what are the most important information that must be on the cards. I think less is more, but I would like that my monsters, items, and characters cards could be used by the players to look at them and actually get information from it. So instead of give just a picture, should I show de AC, Hit Points and damage? But monsters rarely have only one attack type. Should I put their attributes? Should I put Race, Size, and features like Darkvision, or should I let the picture show it's an elf, and so every elf feature is implied? The real issue is that there is too much information, and that won't fit into a card. So I came for help, to hear from you, what would you like to have on a card. Remember this is a gift - I am actually printing and sending the cards through mail to my players. The idea is that they will hold dear to them as something both to show and to remember, but also as reference during game session. We've being playing together for more than 25 years, but nowadays each one lives in a different city. What do you think? [/QUOTE]
