My Custom Fate Deck

[jaysin1414]

I also noticed that they just updated to the 3.8 version, so there's some new features for the Marvel and DC Vs. Card Templates which might make things interesting. Now there's several logos that one can place in the text portion (including Spidey, Fantastic Four, Hulk and Doom, though I'm not finding a good one for Dr. Strange yet. I'm thinking of switching Strange for Professor X, and thus the X-Men logo would round out the 5 suits).

I'll have to look for the Purple template at MSE. I think that would look much better than the white cards I'm using for Willpower.

Yes, you did send my the PSDs, and I very much appreciate your generosity. I was already 3/4 of the way through my Buffy set on MSE when I saw your card set (which I am reserving for my Marvel deck) over on RPGnow, and requested it. In the short term I simply wanted something quick and easy to print to take the strain off the existing deck (MSE fit the bill), the Marvel deck using your templates will be a labor of love that may take 3 to 6 months depending upon how quickly I find pictures that I like and how quickly I get better at Photoshop

Thanks again for the templates. I only hope to do close to as fantastic a job as you have done.

Glad you got 'em. I'm sure you'll do a fine job!

Just wanted to check in with the group and say that I received my Dragonkards in the mail recently.

If anyone is looking to create their own SAGA cards it is vital that you read this next sentence:

THESE CARDS ARE AWESOME!

They have the same feel and flexibility of a standard playing card, glossy on the pre-printed back side and a matte finish on the printable side. The website offers a template to properly align your work to the paperstock.

I'd researched a bunch of different ways to make my own cards and simply put, there is NO way that I know of that is more cost-effective than these cards. The materials needed to make the other ways work (buying special paper, cutting supplies, varnish, etc.) all rapidly exceed $50 or more, while I was able to buy 145 Dragonkards for under 20 bucks.

There's another US company that offers something similar (even with the ability to print the backs and spray gloss both sides) and I'm sure they're competitive, but I didn't want to hassle with chemicals, making the decision rather simple for me.

In a nutshell, they work, they rock, and I just wanted to share that info with my fellow SAGA fans.

Here's the website if you're interested:
www.dragonkard.com/index.html

Here's the website for the other company I found:
www.plaincards.com/Store/shopdisplaycategories.asp

(please note I haven't bought from them, so I have no idea about their speed, availability, or quality)

I hope this helps those custom deck builders out there!

(ps - still plugging along on my SAGA project. Much more involved than I thought, so my self-imposed deadline is likely to be pushed back a few weeks).

Sorry to raise this thread from the dead, but how would one go about getting your template?

Those cards are awesome!

Unfortunately, all these threads would be from the dead...necro away...=P

[aslanc]

Well now that we raised it, like the Titanic, why not keep the ball rolling?

I would dearly love to get a set of Bass' cards and see what they look like.

I myself have created a set of custom cards as well, but I really like his too

[Tommy Brownell]

I did see the pictures you posted at RPG.net, looks like some good stuff indeed.

Thanks

But Bass' cards put mine to shame
