Title: Cards: Our World: Who's Who
Post by: Sygyrd on February 27, 2011, 07:12:51 PM
There is a great resource in use by SotC players, that as far as I can tell is not being used here.  I figured I'd give things a jump start by offering DFRPG cards here.  To quote Tonpa:

"The basic premise is easy. You look up some nice picture and with use of some card making program you make the basic premise. Then you add name, quality and if you like some side marker for GM:s aid. The main writing block then holds the Aspects. Put the card to Photobucket or similar online storage and post the card for general use."

http://bighugelabs.com/deck.php is a great site for generating said cards.  

For Dresden Files I'm using the following conventions:
Colors: Earth (Mortal); Sky (Wizards and Werewolves); Fire (Demons); Water (Fairies); Onyx (Vamps); Quartz (Locations)
Title: (Name of Character)
Sub-title: (Type of Critter)
Description: (High Concept; Trouble/Motivation; Aspects; Relationships; and OWpagenumber for OW characters)

You can add icons to the cards to signify power level, but as these are subject to change during the course of a campaign, I'm leaving mine icon-less.  

I'd like a form to print on the back of my cards that has key stats for the characters, but haven't found/made one yet.  

I made a number of cards for my own campaign before I decided to post here and to do the OW Who's Who, so these cards won't agree with the above conventions in all respects.  I'll note them in the posts.

Madrigal was made before I took up the above conventions.  His stats aren't OW I don't think.

These two I made before I decided to post here, note I didn't use OW stats for them:

That's it for what I have made for OW at the time.

Love the picture choices!

This looks like it could be a pretty cool resource.

If you want to be cheap do what those Magic the Gathering Geeks (hey hey, dont look at me!) do when testing decks.

Buy some cards, and some card sleeves, you can get 100 for like 5$ (quick google search, maybe you can find em cheaper).

Slip the card in, and then slip the printed out image over it.

Plus, cards like these can make great mementos for any convention games you run!

I echo the "GREAT picture choices" compliment — those actor choices are inspired, especially Clooney as Marcone, that great pic of Pitt as Kincaid, and Fanning as the Archive!  I'd have made Charity look just a bit "tougher" (Butler would break her in half!), and everyone with a crush on Thomas Raith has their own personal vision of who he looks like (for me, it's a taller Jared Leto (http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_9vzd2fD5z7o/TBoEwfPWjlI/AAAAAAAAAJ0/46dvqjwL8lo/s1600/Jared+Leto.JPG))  But anything is better than the *choke* artist's rendition on OW 213.  That's not saying much, though... Edward James Olmos would have been a better fit than the artist's rendition on OW 213 (good lord what was he thinking...)

Thanks for the complements!  Maybe you'll find this Thomas more appealing?  (The pic is certainly higher quality than mine.)  The stats are for Murphy.
