| Now, I know there's a Dreamblade mod for vassal, but I already had apprentice anyway, so I made a mod for that myself.
http://www.geocities.com/siberys_thering/Dreambladeappr.zip
That file contains 4 individual items.
1) Cardinfo - place this in the sets folder of Apprentice. It contais each mini's game stats.
2) Addon - Place this in C:\Program Files\Apprentice\Apprentice. It replaces the chaos dice feature, allowing Blade Dice.
3) Dreamblade - this is the theme/skin. Place it in the Graphix folder.
4)Sample Warband - place in the Decks folder. Contains the warband described in the Dreamblade rulebook.
> = Blade
>>= MB
>-> = BB
>>->>=MBMB
§=Madness
†/|=Valor
¥=Passion
¤=Fear
Dot=put in play
‡=Score
Each cell can only fit the max # of minis required by the game (9) through stacking. If you stack them so you can see each's name, thenyou could fit more if you really had to (unlikely).
As I'm at a public computer and time has run out, I'll explain more later, hopefully with screenshots
cheers,

| To preface this post I'd just like to state that I've been using apprentice to play tcgs for years and have actually tried to create my own patch for dreamblade.
Sorry to say this, but an apprentice dreamblade patch just isn't very workable for the following reasons:
1) Lack of room for the reserves. There is nowhere in the them to place your reserves and placing them at the botom/side creates confusion.
2) No way to see abilities of the card without at least hovering the mouse over it. Dreamblade has alot of decisions to make each turn and by not having an easy way to know what the abilities of a certain piece are just makes it more inconvenient to play.
3) You can only roll 1 die at a time. This wouldn't be too terrible on its own, but coupled with the size of the map image leaving almost no room for the text box it makes a usually simple thing (calculating damge of rolled die) unnecessarily complicated.
Overall, vassal is superior in every aspect and there's really no application for this.
PS: I tried creating the appr patch myself because of apprentice's security codes since, in the near future, I plan on creating an online dreamblade league (I have been involved as staff in a number of the largest magic online leagues (e-league and PWL) before they died off. If anyone is interested in assisting me with this you can contact me at dieplstks@gmail.com
