Named Monster Stat Cards

By Shadow Soul, in Descent: Journeys in the Dark

This comes from the old forum, since I have not been able to find that thread in this forum.

I finished doing the leader cards for all dungeons in RtL including the ones for ToI. They have all been uploaded to BGG here .

And here are a couple of examples of my work:

Well met! and thank you for bringing us the Awesome!

I've been working on this project also for a few weeks now. Currently 45% complete. Hoping to have it done before christmas.

For a sneak preview:

Orz the Demon

Paul: Is that just the RtL Leaders, or have you included the threatened named monsters from the other sets as well?

Currently, my list is 82 leaders. That's all the ones from the Dungeons, Rumours, Encounters in RtL.

After I've done that, I'll then probably start on the ones from the Legendary areas just to get RtL complete.

And then, since you asked, maybe I'll spend time over Christmas doing the ones from the other sets. Now that I have my template completed in photoshop, it only takes about 5 minutes to do each leader. The time consuming part was getting the template ready. I still havent scanned in all the monster cards yet either.

Nice one. If you need a help with scanning, just let me know.

Paul: Any news on this? I'm still awaiting your awesomeness...

I downloaded all of these and printed them out onto cards. Absolutely love using them. I have them put together as a pdf if anyone wants it.

Christmas Day / Boxing Day, I finished all the 40 dungeon monsters and started on the encounters and rumours. I am currently 83% of the way through the project and due to finish it in the next week.

One question however. If I just include all the jpg files, people then have to compile them together to print on a page. What I was thinking of doing was a pdf with 4 leaders per page, all ready for printing. How does this sound?

I defintely would.

Niceone dude, looking forward to it.

Individual JPGs would be infinately better for me personally. It's all down to the way I kit-bash.

ok, They are all done. Sort of. I've done 83 of them. That is all the leaders from all the dungeons, encounters and rumours.

The only one that isnt as written is Silence, since I am 99% sure her ability is a misprint, and awaiting official clarification.

Next to do is the legendary areas, and then I'm going to start on the modifications...

You see, I'm not happy with a lot of the dungeon levels. 40 of them in the game, and none of them use any leaders or tiles from AoD and WoD. This was a big mistake by FFG. They gave us AoD/WoD specific rumour cards and encounter cards, but left the dungeons just for valilla descent. Plus, I'm bored by the amount of Beastmen, Sorcerers and Skeletons. Not to mention the bias toward Eldritch.

So, with the help of others on the forums, I'm rewriting a few of the dungeons, which means different leaders... And so the work begins again... happy.gif

So, where are they... Well, for now, I've just uploaded the images themselves to my website:

I havent had time to work on putting 4 on a sheet yet. That will come later on.

Comments welcome.

*applause*

Absolutely brilliant dude.

I have spotted a small typo on Crimsonback ;)

And Dunnix is a malformed file.

This reminds me of when I first uploaded my HeroQuest cards and everyone found the errors for me ;)

Crimsonback is fixed. As is Lothar and the Sentinels.

Reuploaded Dunnix - thats now ok.

I think that is everything, but let me know if you find any more errors.

I just found errors on Legbreaker.

For some reason I'm still seeing an error on Crimsonback's special ability text.

Having had a good look through, I love the colour changes too. This really is a top-notch job.

Here's a card-back which should fit Paul's cards:

more mistakes fixed. Crimsonback is now fixed (again). The first time, the dice were wrong, then I fixed a typo. Legbreaker is also now fixed.

Other changes. I noticed the new colours on some of the sorcerers wasnt quite right - it was overlapping the arm a bit, so I fixed that on Scarnath, Gar, Herrus, Siris and Shalamir.

I also noticed the dice were not perfectly straight on the dragons and it was annoying me. preocupado.gif So I fixed that too: Flametongue, Sess, Nova and Grimfire also updated.

Get them whilst they are hot. Thanks for the support. Any more errors, pass them through.

For some reason, for me at least the lower part of the Shalamir cards is cut off.

reuploaded shalamir

I don't have my book with me to check, but is there any special stuff for Captain Jones from the X Marks the Spot Rumor? That section of the card is blank and I just wanted to make sure before I print it.

No, the captain has no special abilities.

Nice job Paul.

What fount did you use for the special abilities BTW? And is there any chance of a blank template at some point please?

The font is Caslon Antique. My favourite font of all time. I'd already done about 20 before I found the official Descent font, but decided to stick with Caslon Antique.

BTW: Since the loss of PMing, if anyone wants to mail me direct, there is a link on my website. http://people.exeter.ac.uk/pg234/runestone
