Cards instead of Dice

[torilen]

I made some cards that can replace the Combat Dice and the 2 Red Dice.
(I even included red cards to replace the red dice )

How these can be used:
1 - Print off one set and everyone can share
2 - Print off one set for each player.
3 - Print off enough sets so that you have one set of cards for each die that would be used.

Number 3 is my favorite, as you can shuffle all the cards together and draw them...it adds the
same randomness that rolling a number of dice would possess.

I also included special cards that can be used for special dice - for each skull, white shield, and black
shield, there is a card that will have 2, 3, or 4 of that icon. These can be substituted in for special
monsters, magical items, or abilities.

I like the idea of a full deck that has a card with 3 shields on it, and you pray to Zeus for that card when drawing. It certainly adds randomness and will account for some crazy rolls (draws) in the game.
But as far as probabilities go, rolling two combat dice is not the same experiment as drawing 2 cards out of 12 cards (6 skulls, 4 white shields, 2 blacks).
I wouldn't matter to me, I think the probabilties for a desired result would be pretty close for a low number of dice anyway.

Open up those in Photoshop and make them look good. They look like *lemony goodness* right now.

I just wanna roll combat dice. That's the long and short of my love of HeroQuest.

CP - I noticed they don't look all that great - very blurry. My art skills are next to nothing.
I tried messing with it in windows Paint...and that just made it worse.
I'll try it in another program, but I can't promise anything.

It could be, but it would require multiple symbol cards whose extra results would be ignored depending on weaponry.

You think you're SOOO cute, with those fancy looking remakes of my cards, don't you?

That does look sweet though.

His "I want to impress people so badly" motivation has obviously kicked in again xD

I want these. PDF? Or perhaps even the original photoshop files, so I can make EU versions as well
