"Making your own playing cards" Topic

I have several interesting rule sets that use cards in game play. However the rules themselves do not offer these cards. I am looking for a program to make card designs and then finishing them with my laminator or a website that allows you to design cards that then produces them for you. Any ideas would be appreciated..Thanks

Try nanDECK.

I've used it with some good results. You can put your game info on one side and an image on the reverse.

Avery makes inexpensive perforated business cards, name tags etc. They provide templates you can download and then print and perf. You could then laminate or use card protectors.

Myself, I found small cards with tents on them so they have a "martial" feel. I just print labels with the necessary info and put the labels on the cards. The deck was $0.50 USD and a sheet of labels is pretty cheap.

I've used Avery's programmes and cards quite a bit. I don't normally laminate them as I seem to want to change them quite often so just print more when the cards become worn.

I've used Artscow.com to produce a number of decks of event cards and the like (other commercial printers are available). You might find some of my experiences useful: link

Hope this helps,

I found this by doing a Goggle search: link

Magic Set Editor lets you design cards: magicseteditor.sourceforge.net
Specifically used for Magic the Gathering, but I've seen people use them for other purposes. Print on card stock, slice, put in card sleves; or laminate then slice.
