Feature Request - Card Implementation?

Deathanian

Hello Skirmish -VT Community! I have just stumbled upon this beautiful piece of software and just from what I've seen I am all in. As a developer of a tabletop role playing game, I was wondering what the possibilities of you adding the functionality of cards? 

Let me dive deeper. My game, Sanctuary Core Gaming system uses cards for various things. Armor, Items, Weapons, Abilities, etc.  (You can see these here: https://thegrid.ai/scgs/card-mechanics/) The cards damage is written on the card itself as well as the properties of that card (critical hit chances, the skill required to use the card, whether its a physical or elemental type attack to the damage it deals.) 

Is there already some sort of future implementation of an element where I can manipulate player stats based off of cards? I guess the main question is are cards going to be importable and manageable from a player perspective? 

Just a tabletop lover looking for any type of answer! Thanks

Hi Deathanian, this is an interesting mechanic. I think with the future version of the character stats plug-in it could be possible to enter the card values. You will also be able to import the cards as far as graphics go but I'm not sure if it would work flawlessly in connection with the alteration of stats these cards include. I will forward the question to our coder Javí though.

Smitemeister - Well, I pretty well knew that a custom game with different mechanics would make it harder to adapt to VTT's, but this program looks so well built I can easily adapt as I have with Roll20 (which is clunky and hard to move around in.)

As far as importing images, I figured as much and at some point (I am not the person to deem what need is above the other, I am glad you guys are still putting time into this, it really has potential) it would be implemented. If there is anything I can do to help test, please let me know. 

Thanks for the time!

Well, apart from using and testing it, the best you can do is spread the word. The best chance of success for Skirmish! is people like you seeing the value of what we have already developed so we can turn Skirmish! into the polished virtual table-top players deserve.
