NPC Card Creator Poll
We are working on an NPC Card Creator tool for the website, and from a design perspective, I was wondering how most of YOU would use this resource.
The main question is around what content to include on the card itself -- do you want all the mechanical information (i.e. hp, ac, stats, feats, traits, attacks, skills, etc...), or do you want the card to be more of a hand-out for players, where it has general information on their physical appearance, age, affiliation and maybe some background, but no real mechanics.
I've created a poll, which you can select multiple columns, to understand what you would be most interested in seeing represented on the card.

The most successful uses I've had with NPC cards is as a player aid to remember them. For stats, I can do the lookup on paper, where I can make impromptu notes and such. I should also point out that keeping stats off them makes the card system agnostic. I don't play 5E or PF2e, so the systems I do play are likely not to be represented which would make the cards immediately useless for those of us not playing the big games.
But I suppose it's too much to hope that you'll be supporting systems beyond D&D?

On top of the front/back option give us a side by side. Replicate the art and names but one half is the dm stuff the other half is the player stuff so it's just cut in half .. That way I'm not handing The stuff I need as a DM to the player with the card
I don’t care much for stat references, but I want everything else

This sounds so cool.
I also spend way too much time making my own NPC cards. Love this! I know you make D&D 5e content, but it'd be awesome if there's also a PF2e version :)
I spent a truly astounding amount of time doing this by hand last week. This would have been super useful
Well, we're doing our best to have it for next time! ;)
