Looking for a software for creating custom cards

[Destal]

Hi,

I'm looking for a quick and consistent way of creating custom cards in order to import decks in TTS. I'm currently designing the cards on Figma, but it seems I will have to export them one by one. Is there any dedicated software that would make the whole process smoother?

Thanks.

I looked for those too, but the only real solution i found was the magic set editor, or to design a template myself (with a drawing program + gimp for example).

Once you have a template, you can easy readjust text / icons on the card, but i think the exporting and implementing into tts would take a lot of time.

So what you are looking for is the magic set editor!

its onboard, .If the day comes and i have the plan to make an own deck,i whould try this first ;)
Maybe this saves you lifetime. I am sure there are many alt. tools,that are not that good. Otherwise my friends here whould not use the regular Deck Builder, well thats just my conclusion.....They are not firsttimers ^^

If you are talking about creating from scratch your own card game / TCG I use Tabletop Creator (its on steam). It can build custom card games and it has a good exporter to make it easy to convert the sets into a deck for Tabletop Simulator / Tabletop Playground.

I create my base art/templates in my image editor and do the actual card building with Tabletop Creator. The program is still in early access but it works well for me with the features it offers.

Thanks for your answers.

Magic Set Editor > it seems it is limited to a Magic design, I want to be able to design the cards.

Drawing program > This is what I am trying to avoid, because for example I want to be able to edit the template so the modifications are applied on every card.

TTS Deck Editor > I think it is just for generating a deck when you already have designed your cards?

Tabletop Creator > Hmm that looks cool, I am going to check it!

What I have tried so far:

Figma > It has everything I like, I can design a card and tag it as a component, then create cards from this compnent so when I edit the component, it also edits the cards. The drawing environment is super smooth with elements snapping with each other. The only problem I have (and that makes it unusable) is that FIgma works in pixels.

nanDeck > The tool is really well done once you have learnt the basics, I like the idea of designing a template in nanDeck then just linking a CSV file that contains the informations of your cards, and the tool creates as many cards as the file has rows, using the names of the columns to fill in the fields you designed. You can even choose how many copies of the same card you want to be generated in the deck. The problem is, it seems impossible or very hard to do something beautiful with details. Everything that is not a rectangle looks pixelated. But I will definitely use nanDeck for testing the game in TTS, designing basic cards with just the minimal informations, and easily adding or modifying cards in the CSV file.
