The more I think of it the more I like it. I want like 10-15 heroes on cards. Then shuffle and randomly hand out heroes. Cut out more of the time sink of getting ready. I swear I have seen some folks take 10 minutes to decide on a hero...

If you only know yourself, but not your opponent, you may win or may lose.
If you know neither yourself nor your enemy, you will always endanger yourself.

Well, I have Photoshop (and so can you!), so I could easily put together some Hero cards. Did you have any particular ones in mind cynthia?

I took some time and put together a full 20 additional character cards, drawn from a variety of sources on the Inn. You can download them from my Dropbox (as .PSDs or .PNGs). Some samples:

Not all of the rules for each character fit on the face of the card (weapon and armor restrictions in particular). I may need to alter their appearance to streamline the descriptions so I can fit these things in better...

This is a nice idea that I think might be enhanced using a Hero grayscale image as a background. Teldurn's Hero Cards have this cool feature, though he had an artist create his images.

There is a card printing company in Tennessee that print 6 inch X 3.75 inch custom cards, front and back. I made a set a year ago and had them printed out and they turned out pretty cool. If drathe wouldn't have taken the time to find scans, scanned things himself, posted it all for download, we wouldn't have as many opportunities to make stuff like this, thanks big d! |_P
