To get the images, you have to go to the list of monsters (filter it by custom creations or whatever you need to get to the statblock you want). Then, right click on the name and you’ll get a list of options. Pick “Save As…” and then “Image” rather than “Text” or “Rich Text.”
Now you have the image on your clipboard. I opened up Preview (I use a Mac) and chose Cmd + N for “New from clipboard.” Then I simply saved it as a PNG and uploaded it to Obsidian Portal. If you use the Monster Builder, you’re probably not on a Mac (unless you use a Parallels virtual OS for Windows like I do). If you’re not on a Mac, you just need a way to save the clipboard contents as an image. I think MS Paint would do fine for that.

I found your game on the front page of Obsidian Portal. On the side where it shows campaigns that have been recently updated.
As for those tools, those are the ones I use! lol! I was wondering if there where any newer ones out, never mind then! And I do have the D&D Monster builder to help me.

I’m thrilled that two people have favorited this, as I only set this up this weekend. How are you guys finding me?
Yes, it’s StarCraft in D&D 4th Edition, though I expect PCs to follow the rules for gun-wielding characters found in the book Amethyst: Foundations. It’s pretty cool.
To make monster statblocks, I use the D&D Insider Adventure Tools. It’s how I calculate all the numbers, too. And it’s where I get some of the ideas for powers. You can also use the resources I found here: http://www.obsidianportal.com/campaign/sanction/wikis/templates-and-tools for help formatting your D&D4E wiki pages properly. That’ll get you power cards, monster statblocks, and everything else. Even character sheets.

What the??? o_O; A Star Craft RPG using the D&D 4th edition system? DUDE! this is Awesome!
Mind I ask what are you using to make your cards? I know I two websites that allow people to make electronic cards, But one had a limit to how many cards you can make before it asks you for money and the other is outdated. Are you using “Dungeon Mastering” to make your cards or some thing else?
That’s a very clever way to use the Amethyst system. If you need any assistance or advice, feel free to see me at www.diasexmachina.com

I am using a PC. And I figured it out! except I make sure It stays on by uploading the image to Photobucket! Thanks!

Ohh I get it, your posting up your cards in the form of images? How did you do that?
