Hi all!
I just noticed that the Blessings button on the card creator is now showing active, but clicking on it gives me an error. Has anyone been able to make a blessing card yet, or are they still in the process of implementing it as a feature?
Thanks!
Tyler
I think they're still working on it. I tried it as well over lunch and got the same error as you.
Can't seem to create that Blessing of Thundershield yet. (Discard this card to add 2 dice to a check to defeat a bane that has the Moose Urine trait.)
EDIT: btw, when I asked them their time table for the card types, they mentioned Blessing by the end of the month so I'm hoping they're ahead of schedule.
Excellent! I am looking forward to getting more card types printed. I have a really fun plan for PaizoCon next year.... :)
I'm excited. I was afraid they had given up on the project with how little progress I had seen. I'm glad they are still working on it.

Bane with the Moose Urine trait...
I'm not even going to ask.
Actually the URL seems broken. After the /19 there should be a /#### indicating the next number in the database. Click any other card and change the second to last number to a 19. i.e. click Spell and then change the /6/ to /19/ leaving the rest there. I'll submit a ticket letting them know.
Hawkmoon to the rescue as usual! Oh man, so excited to make some blessings!
Boo! I'm getting "An internal error has occurred" when I try to make one. So I don't think they have it QUITE working yet.

I actually thought they were testing it and forgot to turn off the linkage on the Blessing. (Which is why the Internal Error was popping up.) You'll notice that the other (non-functioning) card type have links but they're all set to go no where.

btw, Blessings are working now. Hit refresh and try.

They've changed it back to "Coming Soon" and I'm still getting errors if I try to finalize one after using Hawkmoon's trick, so hopefully they get it all working soon.
I'm finding their definition of "soon" really frustrating. I nearly ordered some cards, must have been nearly 6 months ago now, but decided to wait for more types that we're coming "soon" - if I'd known it would have taken this long, I'd probably have gone ahead and ordered, but having waited this long, I don't want to crack now...
Well, it opened up again over the weekend sometime. I was looking at it yesterday. But it gets stuck when the goblins are drawing the card I created. I think it's just on the Blessings rendering that the issue is popping up.
We're getting closer!
(On the positive side, I have all the images prepped for blessings and a spreadsheet of the text to copy-n-paste in.)
Have skill checks always been just two skills per attempt? Some blessings have three skills listed. (I've gotten around it using 2 above then "or" then 1 below.)
Regarding the three skills: I noticed that as well, but took the same approach as you, and just make a second "circle" with the same target number and an OR in between. It's not completely ideal, but I don't think it'll be a real problem.

It's not completely ideal, but I don't think it'll be a real problem. I don't think I noticed it before. It may be a problem for some of the cards I was developing that had 3 skills on the first check and a THEN. Might need a bit of redesign. It won't matter until locations and other cards are available. But having Blessings soon is nice.
Still freezing on the goblins-drawing stage. Can't wait til I can make some blessings finally!
I kinda wish that all the blessing graphics were in the Community Use (Religious Symbols). I'm going to have to start searching.
Yeah unfortunately they only have the most major deities for those. And some Paizo deities don't even have images for their holy symbols at all (such as the other two goblin hero-gods), so I'm having to find some random free clipart that matches those.
They need to start beating those goblins into shape and tell them to finish drawing.
Drawing might be too close to writing for some of them.
Ok, sorry for the on again off again here folks, but we believe Blessings is working now. Please give it another go.
I regret there has been little apparent progress on more card types released. We've spent many months re-doing some foundational code for the card creator. Included with that work was the implementation of a new admin toolset that lets us author new card types rather than make every card type's release a sort of unique coding exercise.
The Blessings card is the first new card type to release with the authoring tool and we are working out the kinks in the system with it.
Thank you, Steve, for the update.
Definitely will try the new Blessing card. Looking forward to the other cards like the location and character/role cards.
Yeah can't wait to work an anime themed set.
Ha! I JUST noticed the part that says "recreating official Paizo cards or Promo cards is not allowed." Good thing I didn't get my Blessing of Zarongel to finalize. I suppose I need to come up with some more goblin-themed blessings!
Seem to still be getting stuck at the "The Goblins are hand=painting your card" step.

You can still make the same blessings as before but they have to be private and only go to your cart!
Good to know, thanks Theryon!
I still want to come up with some new gobbo-themed blessings of my own, though. :)

Our tech team is back on it.
Thanks, Steve. We'll be waiting for your update to try again.
Any chance we can get a heads-up on the next card you guys are working towards? Again, thanks.
I wonder if there is someone out there that orders every single card that is made, no matter what it is? Or if the card creator is mostly unused other than the few of us who commented here. I noticed that the cards I just added instantly became the "most popular" cards as well, so that makes me think someone is ordering my cards right after I make them! :)
I think *you* are ordering your cards right after you make them...

I didn't buy them myself until several weeks later so I guess someone must have actually bought them. At least my Flenta is still # 35 ^_~.

The "Wizard?" trait might just score you a purchase from me. :D
The "Wizard?" trait alone warrants a purchase. :D
Thanks Dave ^_^. Who knows, it might become an official trait one day ^_~.

Gotta admit: not knowing you couldn't make Character cards yet, I was disappointed it wasn't a completely alternate playable Flenta. <3

I know, I'm anxiously awaiting that feature as well. Until then though I figured it'd be fun to have more than just the six maximum characters in your party do I made ally cards for Harsk, Valeros, Damiel, Vika, Wu Shen, and Kyra, just to name a few. That way you can cram lots of Iconics and class deck characters into one session and bring their flavor along with you even if you can't play them as a full character at the moment. I've been wanting to play Flenta for a awhile (she'll be in my next party) but she hasn't fit well with the other characters I also wanted to play. With her ally card I can bring her magical mischief along no matter who I play or whatever base set I choose.
P.s. As I've said in a previous post, a version of Flenta pretending to be a Necromancer (or even a Cleric) would be hilarious
Thanks for the update, Steve. I love the Card Creator and really appreciate the work you are putting into it! May I make a tiny suggestion and ask if it is possible to increase the limit of the number of traits from 5 to 6? Would be very handy for some weapons :)
Also, is it possible to have more than two skill checks per check?

I've seen some of the goblin-based cards you've been creating. Been wanting the character/role cards to come online in order to create the others from We Be Goblins. Been trying to convert the entire series into an Adventure/Adventure Path.

Theryon, you and I should really coordinate on that one. I have the first We Be Goblins completely "statted out" and have ordered all the cards for it that I can so far. I'm actually talking to Tanis about running a special game at PaizoCon next year using those cards with some unique Guild rewards. :)
That would be cool. I saw the cards and figured that's what you were possibly doing. Also, I am trying to get to PaizoCon next year as well. Very much interested in the We Be Goblins conversion to PACG back during RotR but my friend didn't have the time to work with me on it. But we can talk. (The card creator renewed my interest in doing the Adventure.)
Any updates on this yet? I don't see any completed blessings on the page yet...
Alright, I'm joining that game as soon as PaizoCon 2016 stuff is up :)
