Homemade Upgrade Cards...

By RedKnightRob, in X-Wing Off-Topic

I am not sure where this should go, but I will ask here.

Have any of you made your own homebrew upgrade cards?

a new type of turret, a new illicit card, maybe a new set of cards for a new ship you have created?

I enjoy reading these and seeing what other have come up with.

Thanks

Oh wow, those look great. Do you mind if I use them in my own games?

I tried this one for fun.

I take it, you use the Strange Eons for all of this??

If so, i am thinking of making a few new droids. Not sure what the Squad point cost might be.

first up, an R4-P4. IF an enemy ship bumps YOU, you may still shoot it. However if YOU BUMP the enemy ship, you may not.

And R6-Y6. When shooting a Torpedo ordinance, if you have no stress, you may reroll 2 dice.

At first, I used Photophop, but Strange Eons made things MUCH easier.

Does Strange Eons do upgrades yet? Because if not, there's also this:

I don't think all the fonts are 100% right but it looks really good. Strange Eons and this are amazingly useful tools.

I've tried to use MS Publisher in the past (not actually sure why), which is a nightmare. It gets easier with the 2.0 cards which have more solid colors and less greebles, but still, not very fun. If you are thinking of using some sort of method where you chop up and stitch together images of official FFG cards, the best way to get card images is to use these links, and replace the numbers with various other numbers to find the right image:

Well, if you want 1e, Strange Eons covers upgrade cards as well as pilot cards so you don't need the website.

Yea. Guess i need to download it then..
