Title: 4e Monster Cards
Post by: estar on August 15, 2008, 09:23:34 PM

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.

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.
