Integrate something similar to https://github.com/crobi/rpg-cards for printing out sets of cards from the items. Pretty sure its compatible with SRD license?
I use this for printing out card sheets for my players all the time. I'd be so sweet to be able to generate sheets of cards like these for all of the items that you have entered in the items list without having to enter the data in the tool. The license is MIT on the library in github.

I'd like this especially for when players discover the properties of a magic item.

Fredo, you're my older brother, and I love you. But don't ever take sides with anyone against the Family again. Ever.
This. Same for spells, if possible. I'd like to use something like a cigar box to plop down on the table when they find loot in a locked container, and I'd fill it with printed cards of the things they find inside. It's cheesy, but fun, and they get the physical card for the item or spell they gain, which is useful during play.
This is a great idea! I just starting dm'ing for a bunch of newer players and having all of their spells printed out (without having to type the exact description) would be super nice. I would avoid having to comb through the spell descriptions section.
I think "printables" in general are a great idea to integrate. I saw in a bunch of places the idea of printable maps and stuff like that and so much of it would be helpful. Maybe we'll see it in homebrew.

Yes, this!!!! I have been wanting to add printables but I am having a difficult time printing them and lost access to adobe. (I really don't like GIMP)
The more I think about printables being easily available the more I'd love it too man. The main reason I don't really use maps is because its a pain to make duplicates and I usually have to go to the trouble of hand drawing them. Also a map modifier and creator would be an incredibly useful tool since you could grab land design from a homebrew post and modify small things like names and scale to fit your campaign. It'd be an amazing resource for DM's. Make my games better and make my life easier (as a DM). A complete map making system might be a lot to ask of the dev team IDK how many people they have :P. Most of the focus seems to be on information distribution rather than creation but that's probably because we're in phase 1 still that might change.
Yeah, I don't see map making tools in the scope of this. There are some promising kickstarters though and people have done amazing things with inkarnate.
This is an absolute must-have. The 4th edition character builder provided power and item cards along with a character sheet, and having those cards handy on the application while playing is even better. I would love to give my players item cards when they find phat lewts.
I'll agree as well. I like printable options for my less techsavy players. Ability cards, Item cards, Spell cards particularly, but rules quick reference would also be helpful.
If printables aren't an option I'd like to at least have digital "shareables" for my players, so I could email, text, or otherwise send them a digital reference card to know what the Ability/Item/Spell does.
Having something that is of a better production quality than my poorly crafted, handwritten notes stuffed in card sleeves would be awesome. I'm a student first and an artist somewhere not near the top, so no matter how much time I spend, I can't get them to look how I imagine them.

I totally feel where you are coming from HypeFox. the world never seems to give me enough time to actually draw all the stuff I want to make item cards for :(
I second (third? fourth?) this request. The option to print cards for spells and magic items would be invaluable. My players love not having to search a rulebook (which they all share) to find out what their specific characters can do with an item or spell. I use the Magic Set Editor myself, but would love if the data from this compendium could be readily put into card form.
Monster cards for the DM might be nice, too (probably larger format, though) or stat blocks that can be copied into a document. I like having my stat blocks available with my current adventure, but prefer not to type them out every time a new monster or NPC is needed.
I'm a big fan of this one, and it's definitely on the list. Problem is of course that the list is big. We'll be getting more focused feedback in the days to come to try to help prioritize. Speak up when that time comes!
This is the first thing I searched the forums for after looking through the monsters today. It's nice having something physical to jot down HP reduction, debuffs, etc on.
Also, I hate trees and would like more ways to waste printer paper.
This would be absolutely brilliant, having it on my phone is great, but we often play DND during blackouts and even camping, so I'd absolutely print cards off of the spells I needed just to have them available!

I use Magic Set Editor and a custom template for this, but it would be cool if this is included here. It would probably save me some time.
Although, I'd want to be able to edit the cards to include more or less information, if necessary.

Avoids having to get the book out.

Yes ... Yes ... This please!!!
Bumping the printables idea. I need my app intended for consolidation to allow me to print and carry around more things.
Seriously...printables please.
Good feature. Thread to the top plz!
