Tintagel's Monster Card Template

ADD TO WISHLIST >

By popular demand, I've managed to whip some of my gremlins mercilessly into coding and designing a new monster template for my popular 5E Spell Cards!  You do NOT need to own the 5e Spell & Item Cards product to use this.  It's stand-alone.

If you are a GM and reading this, I don't have to explain why handy cards with monster info on them might be amazing.  But yeah.  They are amazing, for initiative alone.

So, how does this work?  With this template, you can make your monster cards own.  It's easier than you think.

See, there is a FREE program called Magic Set Editor (MSE) that lets you make your own Magic The Gathering cards.  The problem is that magic cards just don't fit the needs for 5E Monsters.  If only some enterprising gremlins would put together a theme that I can use with MSE...

That's what you are buying here.  This is a Template for Magic Set Editor that lets you make your own 5th Edition Monster cards. 

These templates include:

  • Various card colors, including black, red, green, yellow, blue, grey, purple, and teal, with gold & silver trim
  • Three specific card types:
    • Default monster (simple card)
    • Small Pic (monster card with small 100x100 pixel image)
    • Blank card (for additional info on complex monsters)
Note: These templates work with Magic Set Editor, a free program that allows you to create your own card sets and export or print the card images.  YOU MUST INSTALL MAGIC SET EDITOR to use these.   

Installation Instructions:  Please download the zip, extract the Data folder into your Magic Set EditorData folder and Fonts into your WindowsFonts folder.

IMPORTANT COPYRIGHT NOTICE:  You are buying the templates for these files only.  NO card text is being sold.  You are responsible for entering your own card data.

Would it be possible to request an update adding templates to make double-sized cards. The obverse would be two separate card templates, and the reverse would be a double-sized space on the MSWord file.

Something roughly similar to the top right card in the image linked below

Hi! I like the layout, but like the person, below, I find it too small. Also, I was hoping to make double-sided cards, so my players could see the monster on one side, and then I'd have the stats on the other.

Could you make larger (3x5 index card) sized cards that are double sided? It seems like the newer version supports this. Thanks!

After getting the official monster cards from Wizards of the Coast, even the smaller size would be OK.

However, making a double sided version of this card set would be awesome.

Hey Chris. I'm not sure I follow about Double Sided. If you look at the sample cards link: https://imgur.com/a/5pzcK you will see the Lich uses multiple cards. This, in effect, allows for a double-sided option if you just export the images and print using the Word template. Just put one image on page 1 and the other on Page 2 and choose double sided print for your document.

I don't know if anyone else will benefit from this, but I'm making some excellent oversized cards with these. I'm printing a regular card filled out with details, directly next to a blank card filled out with only Actions; both in 3.5x5. I then fold them over and put a bit of double-sided tape to keep them closed. Everything is nice, big, and legible in even the worst lighting. I then stow them in 2x2 protector sheets.

I use clear protector sleeves. One side of the card, then a poker card, then the other, all together. It protects, provides a strong back, and requires no glue.

Hey Daniel,

in your card sample for the goblin, where did you grab the picture? Is there a small repository online that has similar images, or was this just something you found while looking online and just used?

Can I still add the magic set editor mana symbols to the monster card in your template?

Daniel R March 19, 2018 2:30 am UTC

No, it doesn't reference those. If you want that functionality, you might have to edit the game file and the style files in the data folder to call those symbols. It's a bit of work.

Hey, I'm lost and I know I am doing something wrong. I followed all the instructions on how to get these templates to show up in MSE but when I open the program, it never shows this template as an option to create a set. What step did I miss, or is there something else I needed to do? I watched the video and read the .txt file.

I figured it out and I apologize up front for all the posts but the issue was where I downloaded the zip file. I originally downloaded the zip file into a directory associated with my Google File Stream. I deleted everything and re-downloaded and reprocessed everything from my c: drive and it worked. I followed the same steps, the only difference was the location of the original zip file.

Hey these templates are great. Is it possible to change the language on the templates (like STR, DEX...)? I'm a first time german dm and would love to use these with the german version of the game.

Not within the program or text files, but if you know a bit of photoshop (or GIMP) then you can edit the background graphics. You can find them in the data folder like Magic Set Editor 2data5E_Tint_mon-default.mse-style . A blank background is located in the C:appsMagic Set Editor 2data5E_Tint_mon-blank.mse-style folder. Just edit out the english terms and add your own. If this is too complicated, feel free to email me at: rivera.ga@gmail.com and I can edit it for you, if you provide me with the proper words/terms.

No, the resolution is pretty fixed at 150dpi and standard MTG size. You could print larger but it would pixelate. It's a limitation of Magic Set Editor, I'm afraid.

Scanned image
These products were created by scanning an original printed edition. Most older books are in scanned image format because original digital layout files never existed or were no longer available from the publisher.

For PDF download editions, each page has been run through Optical Character Recognition (OCR) software to attempt to decipher the printed text. The result of this OCR process is placed invisibly behind the picture of each scanned page, to allow for text searching. However, any text in a given book set on a graphical background or in handwritten fonts would most likely not be picked up by the OCR software, and is therefore not searchable. Also, a few larger books may be resampled to fit into the system, and may not have this searchable text background.

For printed books, we have performed high-resolution scans of an original hardcopy of the book. We essentially digitally re-master the book. Unfortunately, the resulting quality of these books is not as high. It's the problem of making a copy of a copy. The text is fine for reading, but illustration work starts to run dark, pixellating and/or losing shades of grey. Moiré patterns may develop in photos. We mark clearly which print titles come from scanned image books so that you can make an informed purchase decision about the quality of what you will receive.

Original electronic format
These ebooks were created from the original electronic layout files, and therefore are fully text searchable. Also, their file size tends to be smaller than scanned image books. Most newer books are in the original electronic format. Both download and print editions of such books should be high quality.
