NPC Custom Card Template for GMs

By ianinak, in Star Wars: Edge of the Empire RPG

The goal of these cards is for GMs to print them out and put them into card sleeves or laminate them. They would have almost everything you'd need to track NPCs and units without the need for scratch paper or books.

Borrowed and heavily modified version of these cards here . Thanks The Dearth!

Here are some samples showing the three different types (minion, rival, nemesis). They are in standard tarot size for easy printing in various online custom card sites, and because Tarot sizes give more room.

I welcome feedback. If people like them, I would also LOVE some help in making all the NPCS from the various books. I could send you the .psd (photoshop) files I used and we could create a repository for them.

Features include:

  • Page references for npcs
  • Gear rarity, cost, and restricted (in red) for easy viewing of what's valuable
  • Notes to track random things like crits, advantage/threat, name (if you have multiple cards and need Alpha squad and beta squad)
  • Space to track wounds/strain
  • 6 slots for minions and rivals which seems to be the max suggested number in a squad
  • Vs skills for opposing things like Charm or negotiation from the players
  • Trained skills (for minions) are bolded and the dice show a +
  • Art to show players without exposing all the stats
  • Different color and symbol to differentiate rival/minion/nemesis at a glance when flipping through cards
  • Silhouette, Force Rating, Adversary reference

I really wish I knew how to create templates for Magic Set Editor. That would make composing custom adversary (or vehicle) cards SO much easier than my current process of using Photoshop.

Been working on this off and on forever! Starting working on Legion cards. Time to get re-motivated for RPG
