Title: Is there any free software for creating character cards?
Post by: Thunderchicken on February 22, 2016, 07:13:10 PM

Hi all.

I was wondering if there's any free software out there for creating character cards?
The sort of thing where you will show a picture of the character, their stats and a list of weapons and special abilities etc.

Cheers  :)

That does look good. Funnily enough I was just trying to figure out how to do something similar.

There are other options, like Magic Set Editor, but at least this one isn't as user friendly :)

I've been (ab)using Photoshop and Illustrator to make cards for years, but having something easier in the arsenal would certainly be useful.

I'll be trying this/these for sure...

No JVM could be found on your system. Please define EXE4J_JAVA_HOME

That just mean you need to install Java on your laptop to make it running.
