This is a site for discussing roleplaying games. Have fun doing so, but there is one major rule: do not discuss political issues that aren't directly and uniquely related to the subject of the thread and about gaming. While this site is dedicated to free speech, the following will not be tolerated: devolving a thread into unrelated political discussion, sockpuppeting (using multiple and/or bogus accounts), disrupting topics without contributing to them, and posting images that could get someone fired in the workplace (an external link is OK, but clearly mark it as Not Safe For Work, or NSFW). If you receive a warning, please take it seriously and either move on to another topic or steer the discussion back to its original RPG-related theme.

I DMed a game of 4th edition had a lot of fun. Still not going to ditch GURPS tho.

This games I didn't used any prepared modules but decided to "wing" it using my Majestic Wilderlands (hey it started in AD&D 1st, it will survive 4th). I have to say that 4th edition really kicks ass as far as being able to wing crunchy combat the way I like. However my Monster Manual was a mess of ribbons that I was using as bookmarks.

So I was thinking that monster cards would really make this experience shine. Plus perhaps all the conditions and maneuvers on cards as well.

So I brought up the PDF I gotten of the Monster Manual. Used the snapshot tool.



Then some index cards



Then my HP Photo Printer which the ink miraculously stayed fresh despite 3 years of disuse.



And you get these

Neat. What about creatures with long lists of powers?

Print them on the back. But even Orcus was able to fit on one card.

I have a bunch of cardstock, I might print mine on that and cut them up. I don't have a photo printer.

That's a really good idea, dude. Hell, I should do that for the stat-lines of the WFRP monsters.

I plan on doing that with my stable of GURPS monsters. Now that I bought the PDF of the corebooks from e23 it will be easy to create.
