Then you finalize the deck and can order it. There is a proofing option that requires you to verify each card. Finally, you specify the number of cards if any should be multiples. Then you upload the images for the fronts. If there are multiple backs, then you need to follow the naming convention they suggest for your files so it all makes sense once it is uploaded. If all cards have the same back, then there is only one image needed. It is easy to use, you just upload images in either PNG or JPEG format. I’ve used GameCrafter for all the prior play test decks. I’ll include a PDF with some of my processes. NOTE: I will be sharing a sample Affinity Publisher template on DriveThru RPG for those wanting to create their own card decks and games. In the meantime, here is a blog post with a companion podcast episode going over my experience and take-aways. I will be making a YouTube video showing all these steps once I get the time to do that. I tried doing that via live streaming on Twitch the other night, but I made some minor missteps and it was not as helpful as I intended. Now that I’ve finally built the 4th play test deck of my card game and ordered it from both GameCrafter and DriveThru Cards, I wanted to share some of what I’ve learned. I also wanted to add new text to some cards to clarify how they work or to give them additional functions that are still within the card’s scope. I have icons that a play tester from Gary Con 11 made for me that I wanted added to the cards to see how they look. For the past couple of weeks I have been working on building the deck for my card game to order play test deck number four.
