I've been working hard on making the cards better to print. I've got
it all figured out, but since I'm using such a high quality scan of the
card backs and faces, the files are huge. So I decided have two versions
available. One at 300dpi and one at 150dpi. On screen they appear the
same, but the 300dpi ones actually come out better than the originals on
my colour laser. Pretty fantastic if'n you ask me. Thus far I only have
the Barbarian and Elf Quest Packs done in the new style. I doubt I'll
get the Game System cards finished tonight and I'm going away for a few
days so I'll have to get to those the first of the week. Then I'll
tackle my large size Kellar's Keep and Return of the Witch Lord
Artifacts. Once those are up I can finally work on the Wizards of Morcar
cards now that I have my system all worked out. I was also going to
have the option of cards with a white background on the faces instead of
the light beige to save on ink as suggested by Phoenix, but unless I
have demand for them, I won't bother with them any time soon... if at
all.
Not only have I reworked my North American Equipment Cards in the
new format (300 & 150 dpi), but I've totally reworked my card making
template I created to make cards from. They now look freakin' sweet. If
you downloaded the older version before, I suggest you get one of the
new ones.
I also have plans to create North American versions of the Wizards
of Morcar Cards and the Monsters from Against the Ogre Horde. I'll
actually do them up at the same time as I do the other versions. It'll
be easier that way.
I have a slightly new layout for the Game System and Quest Pack
pages in mind. I'm going to separate all the different
versions/languages and give them their own page. If I can get some
decent scans of the box tops of each version/language, I'll use them as
link buttons just above the page title so Inn Guests can easily click
and switch to the other versions. The North American page will be
displayed by default. This should cut down on some clutter as the site
expands when I add more resources.
