DM Action Cards

Here are the DM Action Cards that I made for the roll20 decks and tables tab. &nbsp;Most game systems state that the DM must choose his actions first, before the players. &nbsp;I did some graphic arts work and put together some generic actions that can be loaded into your own deck inside the roll20 interface for game play. &nbsp;It ensures that the DM isn't influenced by the players stated actions and then inadvertently changes or choose actions based upon what the characters plan to do! &nbsp;See how they are used here In the video, at roughly the 7:07 minute mark, where the cards are organized out of the players view, one is selected for the turn, and later flipped over to reveal it to the players what the action is "Encounter Attacks".&nbsp;... <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XJQ8zKFD46U" rel="nofollow">https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XJQ8zKFD46U</a> Here are my deck settings for the cards that follow. &nbsp;After you add a new deck, you can see these settings when you double click the deck.. (upper view ... top of menu) (lower view....bottom of view when you scroll down to see the Card Back) Here are the card images. &nbsp;Right click over the one's that you can use in your particular game system, choose Save Image As... and name it accordingly. &nbsp; 1. First, load the following back as your Card Backing image (see example above). &nbsp; 2.&nbsp;Load the other cards for the faces. &nbsp; 3. After you have loaded up all the images you plan on using, click the blue Save Changes button at the bottom of the window (see example above), then Show the deck in the right-side window, click Choose from the deck options that appear to the left of the deck when you hover your mouse over it. &nbsp; 4.&nbsp;From there, merely click and drag the card you want to the table. &nbsp;I normally put it into a darkened area (fog of war) that the players can't see, right click over it and select Flip card to put it face down, double click the card to make it only available to the DM (so the players don't move it around, etc), size the card to an acceptable size, then drag it out into a Revealed area that the players can see as your action for the turn. &nbsp; 5.&nbsp;When it is your turn, right click over the card again and Flip it right side up so the players can see what action you had chosen to do. 6. Afterwards, move it back into a darkened area, flip it face down, and save it for use later on during the session. &nbsp; 7.&nbsp;When you're done, Hide the deck to put it away until needed again. &nbsp; Prior to a session, if I know i will be using the deck, I will do all of these things for all of the cards that I may be using, that way they are ready to go and you don't slow down your session engaging in these types or roll20 mechanics. &nbsp;Enjoy!

Has anyone used these in their particular game? &nbsp;If so, do you have any stream examples online somewhere? &nbsp;It would be nice to see how you implemented your take on this concept.
No, but there's a whole lot about decks & rollable tables i would like to learn
