Adjustable Card Sizes while in-hand

Edited 1609931758
I saw a few posts about others struggling with this from several years ago, maybe I've missed something in the interim as I don't see anyone recently complaining about this - but I would like to see the ability to adjust the display sizes of cards while in Players' hands (perhaps a slider like we already have for the Deck size, but each player controls their own hand size?) as I'm using the cards function to help players keep track of abilities for a custom game system I'm designing. These cards have a fair amount of text/information on them, but even in expanding the titles of the cards as wide as I could within the frame of the card image I was unable to read the titles while in-hand. In the meantime, we'll be playing with Stylish to make up for that gap, but I'd like to not have to ask players to go through the trouble of install third party extensions in the future.  On a brighter note, I'm just now getting into using the decks function and so far I like it! I see a lot of potential, especially if y'all end up implementing some of the other suggestions I've seen on this forum - the ability to right-click-rotate and create piles would especially make me happy as well. I'm hoping to start using roll20 for hosting some playtesting of other board game design projects I've been working on.

Likewise, similarly, if the cards could contain plain-text then users could Magnify the Text using normal means (Browser-based zoom, OS-based accessibility enhancements, people who use a verbal out-loud Screen Reader), or some potential Roll20 GUI buttons to add such as "Pop-Up this card text in Journal/Handout size for readability". It would also be nice to be able to zoom the graphical image of the card, as Dylan described the issue. I think text blocks would be best served for the widest variety of use-cases ( users with differeing vision, games with differing amounts of Card text contents, better support for existing card-games on here like The Quiet Year, The Strange, and Coffin Cards; better support for existing games that aren't currently played on roll20 such as Magic; and potential innovations for how to use Cards in VTT for new types of games) by actual text support on the cards.

Agreed. Honestly even just a nameplate option for cards in your own hand at the bottom of the cards like what we have with tokens would be helpful too.&nbsp;
