Been meaning to do this, but yours spank my idea . Do you print on peel and stick to overlay other cards or just as it

As is, plane paper. Inside a card sleeve with another card such as our old tactical objective cards they are snug and won't slip out.

Card sleeve. Fantastic idea. Going back I see that you gave that suggestion in the original post. I was so exited by the cards I guess I never finished it lol

You don't have to do anything. I just admired your handywoork. If you had done it now there was an outside chance you had done it before. I often write down things on post it notes. These are way better.

Click on the card you want to print. On that page there is a download button. Once you download it, you should be able to open it and print. When I print, I have to change the 'photo size' to 'wallet 2x3' to make it fit into a card sleeve.

Is this using photoshop? I don't typically do this so idk what program to use for it.

No. When you download it, it downloads as a png file which is a very common image file format that you can open by simply double clicking (or however mac users open it). From there you can just hit the print button. Your printer settings will vary depending on what type of printer you have. That is where I had to select 'Wallet 2x3' for the 'photo size' in order to print the card in the correct size. After that, you just use some scissors to cut it out and put it in a card sleeve with another useless card (like our old tactical objective cards) to make it stiff.

Unless you're asking how I made the cards in the first place. In which case again the answer is 'no'. It does not require fancy software. That website allows you to create a profile and create your own cards on the website. You just need to provide the picture (which I downloaded from google) and the text.

A more manual method you could try is downloading the cards then importing them into word or PowerPoint and resizing them. I might do that and just print them on cardstock then cut them out. I'll post how it goes if I attempt it.

I'm about to make datasheets for my entire army. so I made a testing version, ready to print. Magic The Gathering size.
The final version will have abilities on one side, and stats / weapons on the other.

These are excellent. Just saved the images and pasted into a word document, sized them to about 2.4" x 3.34" and printed a whole sheet. They work great in a sleeve on top of all those obsolete objective cards, as mentioned.

Wonderfull work, how did you manage to keep the text inbound in the frame? When I do the text just goes everywhere. Worth to note that i copy the text from whahapedia.

I preview the card to see which words are hanging out of frame, then manually start a new line at that word. Repeat until no words are outside the frame.

So nice, thanks !

FYI, I ended up printing the cards as a 3x2 on cardstock and then laminating them for durability. They look great and I'm looking forward to using them in an upcoming game this week. Thanks, zimko!
