Suggestions for Card decks

I found it very tedious to upload the three decks I needed for my pathfinder game since I had to upload each card one by one. I would like to see a function where you can select a folder and upload all cards in it at once.
I also noticed that it would be nice to exclude certain cards from a deck if your adventure requires you to draw for example 9 specific cards from the deck (pathfinder harrow cards).
Another thing concerning card decks is when you have multiple decks up (in my case 3) and pull a card it gets pulled up beneath the layer of the deck above. This is just a small graphical issue however :) I understand if this is not a top priority for you right now.
Good set of deck suggestions. Appreciated.
How about decks for individual players. The player and the GM can see the player's cards to keep the clutter down.
Maybe I'm missing something, but can you not keep a hand of cards or is it just one card at a time? If there isn't functionality for a hand then I would definitely recommend that!

Good call. I read it but somehow I overlooked the player "hands" part :P In the meantime I wanted to suggest some additional features for the card deck. I've used another VTT for some time now and we had started using it to play boardgames. However, it didn't have any functionality for cards for t he boardgames so my friend and I built our own app for it. I would love to see some of this stuff integrated directly into a VTT. So here are some ideas: Creating Deck Functionality: Deck Name Max Hand Size Min Hand Size Deck Image Deck Playing Functionality: Draw from Top Draw from Bottom Draw at Random Shuffle Shuffle Discard into Deck View Cards in Deck (*Ability to choose cards when viewing) View Cards in Discard (*Ability to choose cards when viewing) Hand Playing Functionality: Play Card Discard to Discard Pile Discard to Trash Pile Place on Top of Deck Place on Bottom of Deck Place Randomly in Deck Give Card to Selected Player *Display Card to Selected Player(s) *Display Hand to Selected Player(s) (Ability to choose cards when viewing) I'm not big into CCG or Standard Cards games, but this functionality above covers most aspects of card play in boardgames that I have run across. I know the Devs are going for system independent so the above covers a lot of different aspects and mechanics needed for different types of games. We built all the above using C++, Php and a mysql DB minus the items with * by the name, which was planned future functionality. In case there was any interest here is an early mock, early build of the deck and hand player screen: <a href="http://www.thegeekenders.com/resources/misc/deck&hand.jpg" rel="nofollow">http://www.thegeekenders.com/resources/misc/deck&hand.jpg</a>
Id like to suggest in addition to the above a re-size feature for how large the deck is visually. Similar to that of the tile re-size feature.
Or the way we did it is have a large and small scale image of the cards so you could zoom to higher res ones if you needed.
