Creating homebrew power, item, monster or other cards online (Beta)

[daan]

I'm running a public beta of godeckyourself.com, a free website where you can quickly create, share and download print quality gaming cards as pdf.

It's ideal for Players and DMs who want to create a deck of cards quickly for their weekly gaming session or their online homebrew material, without fiddling too much with layout.
(Its not intended for advanced card creation, as Magic Set Editor already does that perfectly).

Give it a try and tell me what you think

This looks quite useful actually and since it's non-system specific it is unlikely to attract a C&D 'just because'. Now allowing people to download other users cards that are game specific might be another story but it's definitely a very good start.

One thing I'd like to see is the ability to modify the card size. One of my longtime players and friends has contracted T2 Diabetes and has lost a good portion of his eyesight and as a result can't read the text on a typical card size and something that could print say four to a page at 4x5'ish would be great.

The general rule is, godeckyourself.com is for homebrew stuff, so your own homebrew class powers, quests, monsters, encounters, for your weekly adventures. if it overlaps with- or replaces a commercial cards, or contains anything that goes beyond fair use, its not allowed to be shared.

The cards are sized to a typical gaming card of 2.5 x 3.5 inch, so you could print them on thick paper and use any plastic sleeve. I'll put printing a double-sized card on the wish list!

To anyone who tried godeckyourself.com, is the process of creating decks and cards clear enough? What would you change to make it easier to use? Are you having any browser issues?

This is very neat daan. I've already bookmarked the link from earlier, just haven't had a chance to play much with it yet.

Hey - I've used GoDeckYourself to build a "quest deck" for my PC's, and the customization options are awesome.

I really like it, and plan to use it more in the future!
