Ever wanted that Magic: The Gathering look for your cards? I found this cool (I repeat... CAHOOOOL) site that allows you to create cards that resemble Magic cards. You can put your own symbols and everything on them. Give it a try:
For those making CCGs... a cool card-maker!

Don't know if this has been mentioned yet, but there's a java tool for creating home spun Magic cards. Which also seems to have some amount "use your own images" kind of stuff, and a database for creating sets of cards.

i found this to me a very good way to make cards for your CCG. I just need to keep working on my cards.

The idea is good but it would be better if it could be distributed as a software instead of being on a web site. The MTG editor is much more better. And you can manage your card much more efficiently. But you can almost only make magic cards.
Since I have dones some Video Game programming, I could make a program, like the one on the website, with allegro. The only problem is I don't know how to save directly files as pdf. Not sure if there is a library that I can easily hook to do the job. Still, I could generate a huge .PCX file of the appropriate DPI, and then let the user print it on a pdfprinter.
I already made some sort of programm like this for myself but it does not have any user interface. It is hard coded to my needs. I placed all the information in a database and the program simply generated all the cards one after another and saved then in .PCX.

.pcx.....your trying to print the cards right.....what a horrible format for print if your going to output anything like that TIFFs (this goes for whether you professionally printing or just at home)
