Custom Card Generator

By Thalomen, in Star Wars: Armada

I notice the X-wing players make custom cards and even have generators for them on line.

Is that something some one is working for for Armada? I could see a lot of named ships FFG wont be getting to, so custom cards could be very useful.

Sorry if this has already been brought up. I just happened to discover some very cool custom card sites and see good use for it in our game.

I would also very much like to know if any of the photoshop gurus are working on this?

Im going to cross post this in the X-wing forum. Maybe they will give us some help here.

Strange Eons is by far the best X-wing one, it produces fully customizable cards that, aside from the card stock you print it on, are indistinguishable fom the real thing. Really hoping it gets an Armada edition.

What we really need, or i should say i want, is for someone to take the main card types and give us photoshop templates. Id get started on making a few custom squadrons right now if someone could have those templates up (font is an issue for me).

Im busy with painting right now but if someone hasnt made a good template in a few weeks ill undoubtedly try my hand at it.

I'd love to see some generic templates for sure for non tournament play.

That is exactly what Strange Eons is. It's the templates and fonts. You type in what stat or text you want and it appears. For the artwork you can load your own jpg. Requires no coding or photo editing skills whatsoever. Here's one I made:

That's basically PRO as far as I'm concerned, put it in a FFG announcement and it's indistingushiable. Has nothing to do with me, everything to do with the templates provided.

Ive got other things im doing atm but if the font is the same, and I think it would be right i could probably do a pretty good PS template in a couple days. Thats as far as i can take it though, its fairly easy to modify in PS so much so in fact i would see some kind of program really on hampering me :/ can see how it might be beneficial to people not familiar with that program though. I dont know how to code :(

Is There an update to this topic? I'd love to see an easy to use SW: Armada Card creator.

As far as I know, KDY is the only one, and they strive to not look exactly like Armada cards.

The good news is you can make printer friendly versions first to play test your cards, before ordering high quality versions.

I could easily do it in an app I use called Autodesk Graphics. (Used to be called IDraw)

I'm pretty sure it saves to Photoshop format.

v1.kdyards.com is the closest you get.

Unfortunately/fortunately (depending on pow) the layout is not Armada-standard.

So either you'll love it - or it's completely worthless to you.

I honestly forgot I ever asked the question, it's been so long.

I am a fan of yours, and that's why I exclaimed your name.

It's a common joke in my other forums that I am a part of.
