Laminate the cards and use dry-erase markers to fill in the details.<br /><br />This writing of details can be prepared beforehand by the DM, in cases where the players would get an "envelope of cards" which has basic information on each item, and updated by the players or DM as more information is discovered or added, such as correct (or incorrect) identification, spells, purchases, detect magic, etc.Michealhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13269059198593222518noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8170674472098446028.post-12173948531440013632011-08-18T22:27:37.642-04:002011-08-18T22:27:37.642-04:00Im a huge fan of using like cards or something.

I was making a couple when I was playing Pathfinder, I had a card for index card for tracking how long a barbarian can rage and another one for the amount of fuel left in a lamp. I want cards and stuff for spells too, I like my players handing me stuff when they want to use an ability or resource.Piercehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17342275462566805167noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8170674472098446028.post-70627601813844494892011-08-18T22:06:58.571-04:002011-08-18T22:06:58.571-04:00I think it would be cool, I also like the idea of ...I think it would be cool, I also like the idea of shuffling a "hoard deck" and randomly dealing treasurer.BlUsKrEEmhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05050270487818381832noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8170674472098446028.post-61762977682902617812011-08-18T20:34:24.434-04:002011-08-18T20:34:24.434-04:00I've actually been considering templating up s...I've actually been considering templating up some basic item cards in Inkscape (complete with generic item images on the fronts) and printing them up for my game. <br /><br />Super bonus- If I can get them to print on cardstock, I can make "blank item" cards that you can scribble on when you're in a hurry and think of something cool.<br /><br />Of course, I'm extremely cheap and so would probably just take some index cards, write what's on them, and call it a day.Nickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08596442998967851832noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8170674472098446028.post-49029851174266540972011-08-18T17:58:08.245-04:002011-08-18T17:58:08.245-04:00I remember always seeing the 'Dungeon Tac Card...I remember always seeing the 'Dungeon Tac Cards' from Judge's Guild at the hobby shop back in the day, but I never bought a set. Now I wish I had.<br /><br />I remember having a few games where I was around 14 where we had little scraps of paper with words like 'torch' and 'sword' and 'shield' written on them on the table in front of us. We had gotten into so many arguments over who was holding what and when with questions about how you could climb a rope while your hands were full, etc., that this was our solution... if you had something in hand, it had to be written on a paper on the table (and you could only have 2 out at a time... unless you had extra arms I guess). We were argumentative teenagers.Stefan Poaghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08192911890556534923noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8170674472098446028.post-33344677784388875102011-08-18T17:42:19.206-04:002011-08-18T17:42:19.206-04:00I wish the Pathfinder cards had more utility.

I have a whole bunch of pathfinder cards and they cover most of the items, but they dont have encumbrances and they usually only have one of an item.<br /><br />HOmemade cards are great, except that they are homemade and are thus lower on the cool art scale. <br /><br />Jim was working on some cards using an online template, as I recall.Aaron E.
