We’ve split up the ‘Our Projects’ page as it was getting too cluttered. All previous comments are under ‘Advent’s Projects’ now.
Man I love the way you’ve got this set up – I may copy you :p
What happened to Paiura!? I loved the first set of it.
I wanted to overhaul the presentation and some other things and put it up again, but I’m too lazy to do that anyway.
So, yea, I’ll just put it up again :).

A quick question, how do you assemble your PDF documents? I’ve been looking to do the same and it’s never quite worked out correctly.
I just convert a word document with all the images into a .pdf. You can also create the .pdf from MSE printouts directly by interposing a .pdf program as a virtual printer.
Thanks! I never got the pdf program functioning correctly though, do you simply copy the card images and then resize them on word?
Correct.
Is your Orion game something that could be played on Cockatrice? It looks very interesting.
Hi,
I was wondering if you had the .mse files for Grim Tidings, Overworld, and possibly Dreams of Lyanar? The PDFs are missing cards.
(I am DYING to get the .mse file for Siege of Ravnica, by the way. Is it done? If not, when will it be? If it is, PLEASE POST THE SET FILE)
Chill, man 🙂
The missing cards aren’t errors, they represent card slots that I haven’t filled yet. I’m currently working on Siege of Ravnica, and it’s coming along quickly. When I’ll finish the other sets, I don’t know yet. I can upload the incomplete .mse files if you’re interested in those.
And thanks for your encouragement 🙂
It’s just annoying to be looking at, for example, the Overworld PDF and see a whole page of ? and one card.
Also, what inspired you to create Iamur? I know PoP: SoT inspired Esparand, but what inspired Iamur?
One last detail: I was inspired by MaRo to start a podcast of my own, but in this one I talk about custom MTG sets. I was wondering if you would like (or allow) one of your sets to appear on said podcast.
.PDF: I like to represent that cards are missing, but maybe I can find a better way.
Iamur: I wasn’t really inspired by anything to create Iamur. I’m a big fan of underwater worlds/underwater fantasy, so I wanted to make that into a Magic set. The Murloc race is of course borrowed from Warcraft, and the mermaids resemble Disney’s Ariel. I listened to “Under the Sea” a lot :).
Podcast: Sure, sounds great. Where can I find your podcast? Do I know you from MTGSalvation or how did you find this blog?
Neither, actually. I found you via this page:
http://magicseteditor.sourceforge.net/node/9131
And as to where you can find it: Actually, the next set I do would be the premiere podcast, so… I’ll let you know when I get it up.

Hey Antares. I have been trying to get your Esparand set to boot up on MSE but for some reason it simply does want to. (New version maybe?) Do you still have the file/can you still load it? I would really like to playtest it with my play group but the set being 200-ish cards doesn’t make a good Cube format and I would prefer to be able to draft it instead.
Hey,
the reason a set won’t load in MSE is usually that you’re missing a template. I’ll have to look what templates I used and can give you a list.
Oh, it’s most likely the Epitaph one.
Here is the epitaph frame.
You also need the frames:
-Modern Clear
-Gods
-Planeshifted
-Split Cards
I reuploaded the .mse files. You should download them again.
Contact me if you need more assistance.
Cheers
