[Migrated] Item Cards (Serps)

By Wu Ming, in Dark Heresy

Serps:

I figured that if one wants a job done, one must do it oneself. To that end, I decided to model the item cards off Magic:The Gathering cards, because
a) sleeves for cards that size are Abundant rarity
b) I have thousands of the sods so I may as well do something with them.

Here's an example of what I'm working on:

I've yet to scan in pics of the items (it's a big job) as I'm still working on the layout of the cards themselves. However, you can see there's room for item pics.
Stuff like reminder text for weapon qualities (such as 'unreliable' etc) and so forth.

OK, item cards for Dark Heresy are available in beta form.

All files in one archive

Alternate links:
Pre-generated cards in JPG format
• Raw card list for use with MSE
MSE Set data for use with the above card list
Fonts required by the above set.

I only put costs on items of Average or greater availability, otherwise Evaluate tests become useless.

Things that are on my wish list but aren't in this version:
• Psyker powers
• Different background images for each type of card
• Specialised background images - one for each item that has one
• All the items from the Inquisitor's Handbook (eek)
• Special sets for various popular adventures (i.e. the Edge of Darkness item set)

Enjoy.

Hey, thanks!

I'll have to put v0.2 up this week - it has the IH errata in it, and a few other enhancements.

Well actually THANK YOU. You did all the work I just cut/paste your thread (bits) over here.

Sorry for reviving this old thread.

Any news on v0.2 of these amazing cards?

Getting pwned by renovations atm. I'm still doing them though - just hella slowly.

Once I finish the psyker powers in DH, I'll release v0.2.

Then I'll start with the IH (sigh so many items)

Thanks for the update Serps.
