Title: New Design - Printable Spell Cards
Post by: JoyrexJ9 on 29 July 2015, 01:21:26 PM
Thought I'd share some custom Frostgrave spell cards which I've put together.
The design is not as fancy design as some I've seen here, but I have managed to do all the spells for all the wizard classes.

All constructive feedback welcome, and please point out any mistakes, typos etc.
I'm not sure in hindsight that the coloured background (a different colour for each class) really works.

Picture here is just a preview of four of the cards, full download has all 80 spells

And that makes 3! lol

Very nice; they're much like audrey's, but with a colour coding, which I happen to like.

Your cards are very easy to read and the colours are a functional addition.

I'm not too convinced by the icons though. But that is possibly caused by the fact that I have used different ones for my cards.

Overall, they're really good looking; well done... :)

:D I did the cards before I discovered the forum, soon as I signed up I spotted I wasn't the only one with the bright idea to design some better looking cards. Oh well, more the merrier.

Thanks for the feedback. The icons are tricky, especially things like "out of game" that's pretty hard to represent with a small icon!

Check my thread over here: my thread (http://leadadventureforum.com/index.php?topic=80543.msg993282#new). The first Enchanter card has my version of the Out of Game icon.

I'm actually pretty chuffed with that one, but you're free to use the idea if you want... :)

I like the color coding, but I miss keywords like "line of sight", "touch", "Out of game" and so on.

I'd hoped the symbols in the top right are fairly obvious and do away with the keywords, but there's space on the card for putting the spell-type in text as well as the symbol

Great looking cards. You think you can do a key card with the symbols?

I really like these. Took me a while to figure out the symbols (touch, self etc.) as I was trying to equate these to the schools. I really like the different color coding on each school. I've got the card deck and my major crisis my is that they all look the same at first glance, a pain if you like to re-order your cards after each battle.

I also like that you've managed to get the words of the schools in there (witch, Elementalist etc) as this will make it very easy when introducing new people to the game.

Nice work.

This is a great little ressource. Thank you for sharing.

Would you care to make the three spells from Thaw of the Liche Lord as well? For the complete experience.
