Have you loaded the extension "Theme: SWADE Action Cards" ?

Yes, but they only show up as tokens in the assets.

Edit : Got it. I didnīt know that you have to activate them in the launcher :) thx

Is this purely a cosmetic enhancement?

Yes, for the most part. You do get the cards as tokens but it is simply a change of images for the Action Decks.

It's probably a YMMV sort of DLC, but for me the oversized action deck is about the poorest DLC purchase I've ever made for FG. My problem with them is that they don't replace the Action card graphics in the Ruleset. So for example, when you deal and then drag them on to an image for a chase the face cards revert to the defaults in the Ruleset graphics folder. The only thing you can do is replace the dealt card with a token - big time waster if you ask me and text balloons no longer pop for those token cards when a player mouses over them. So no way for them to know what that a face card actually represents.

So...can I as a GM extract them and replace the card graphics in the ruleset folders with them? Nope, they're locked away in the \Vault. IDK, seems like a dubious expenditure of $ to me.

I'll take a look this weekend and see if I can figure out the issue. For clarification what version of FG.

Both. I tried it with clients connected to Classic Ultimate and Unity Ultimate.

I'd like to be able to create a custom deck with this extension. I'd also like a hover over card tooltip with the # and suit since there are font characters for the suit, or have the face cards have the suit and face value.

I like the extension overall, and like the empty card in CT more than the default.

Found probable issue, as I at least have broken the function. Themed actions cards will have same issue but do include notes on what to change and where. As previously stated first I heard about icon change.

Those themed card extensions are very nice. However, the cards exhibit the same problem I have with the official oversized deck when used in chases; the moment I drop one of the cards on an image being used for the chase, it reverts to the stock card contained in the ruleset.

Sorry, somehow that didn't get posted, I think on I was on my phone, your issue with deck was the first I had heard of the issue. No one else had said anything about it up until then.
