Cards: Faces (Not From Who's Who)
« on: February 27, 2011, 07:31:03 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 out 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.

These guys were all from before I came up with the conventions enumerated above.  They are all for my San Francisco game, but can really be used anywhere.  You might notice I've shamelessly pulled characters from other 'Verses.  I put Madrigal here as I made the card early on.  I'll post it in Who's Who too.

The first adventure my troop is having in SF is actually lifted from Roger Zelanzy's Lord Demon.  The following cards are pre-convention cards for the Arkham Asylum (which I have replace Zelanzy's asylum.)

Grogg was cooked up for a PbP game taking place in McKinney, Tx... but I'm sure he's got corollaries in other Dresdenverses. :)

A standard Gruff for my kids' campaign (ironically, not McKinney.)

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 print my Faces and Locations directly onto index cards. On the back, I have a table with this information:
Row 1: Phys:          Mental:          Soc:   
Row 2: Skills:                            Aspects:
Row 3: Powers/Stunts:            Notes:
"Like a voice, like a crack, like a whispering shriek
That echoes on like it’s carpet-bombing feverish white jungles of thought
That I’m positive are not even mine"

Could have gone with more snakes, but I liked this "portrait."


Here's a pixie cooked up to go with Grogg and the Stonebridge Golf Course (& Bridge):
