Touhou Power Cards

Cover art.

Yes some of us are actually sad enough to print and use them.

Still they look pretty cool when printed out.

How do I expanded textbox?

Original RSO card.

The first shopped card.

The Touhou Power Cards are a set of index cards for 4e Dungeons & Dragons powers, being created by numerous Touhoufags. The 4th edition manuals suggested noting down the properties of a character's various powers on index cards to prevent constant book-referencing during play, and were subsequently followed up by an official set that were nothing more than shitty templates you were expected to actually write things on. These were quickly dismissed, and players instead created their own much more aesthetically pleasing cards using electronic methods.

In accordance with the principle that there is Touhou fanart suitable for every situation, it was soon realised this could be logically extrapolated to there being Touhou fanart suitable for every power in the PHB. Thus, the Touhoufags created a template, which strongly resembles the cards from the Touhou-themed CCG Rumbling Spell Orchestra, and set to work creating their own collections of vastly superior index cards with blackjack and hookers Gensokyo and Reimu.

Color Coding

There are two colour-coded areas on the index card - the header (indicating power's type) and an action mark (indicating an action used to activate a power). Header colours are green (At-Will), red (Encounter) or blue (Daily). Action colours are yellow (Standard), aqua (Move), fuchsia (Minor), red (Immediate Reaction), white (Immediate Interrupt), lime (Free) and silver (no action). Remember it when you make your touhou cards.

How to Print them

You can, obviously, print 6 of them or so on a sheet of photo paper, and either print the backs separately and glue them on or try and align the prints. Then you can either laminate them (could get a bit thick if you printed the back separately and glued it on), or use a can of silicon spray (or other plastifier, transparent matte acrylic should work in a pinch) on them. If you do spray them I've found that the best way to go is this:

• 1. Do not cut the sheet, that's for later
• 2. leave the print to dry at least half a day
• 3. Quickly spray a very thin layer from about 20/30 cm, this adheres quickly and should not make the ink run
• 4. wait an hour or so, then spray a second layer, this time spray on more stuff, from 15/20 cm
• 5. (optional) wait 3/4 hours and do a third layer
