View source for Making Custom SWCCG Cards

'''Making custom Star Wars CCG cards''' is the community practice of reconstructing, updating, and printing cards using high-resolution templates. This wiki keeps a preservation copy of those templates so they remain downloadable if a Drive folder moves.

The templates on this page are '''[[Bardez]]'''’s 600&nbsp;DPI GIMP (<code>.xcf</code>) files, first posted on r/starwarsccgalters in 2021. They are free community work, not Decipher or Players Committee product. Credit [[Bardez]] (Reddit [https://www.reddit.com/user/Bardez u/Bardez]) when you use them.

== Why this page exists ==
A second download location matters. Google Drive folders get quota-locked, renamed, or unpublished. The templates are how people remake cards in the modern look, fix bad scans, and print [[Playtest cards]] or [[Reflections Gold]] reconstructions. This wiki stores the files and the notes that came with them.

== Credit and source folders ==
* '''Bardez''' — 600&nbsp;DPI GIMP templates. Drive: [https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1OsAFQQAhOgUKmKFgFoW1xXGBi-HAJXqJ SWCCG Templates]. Announcement: [https://www.reddit.com/r/starwarsccgalters/comments/n6q9cd/600_dpi_templates_im_proud_of_getting_these/ 600 DPI Templates] (7 May 2021).
* '''MPC print-ready hub''' — [https://www.reddit.com/r/starwarsccgalters/comments/ku0xau/mpc_print_ready_cards_links_to_drives_and/ MPC Print Ready Cards — links to drives] on r/starwarsccgalters (11 January 2021). That post indexes several Drive folders (print-ready cards, playtests, card backs). This wiki's [[Playtest cards]] page already uses the Playtest folder from that hub.
* '''IPFS mirror''' (community, from the 2021 thread): <code>ipfs://QmcyTrAxapWxJaqTnpPYDwsERJSHZGNdLairPM5WBi38cP</code>

== Size, fonts, and GIMP notes ==
Bardez's <code>Card Fonts and dimensions.txt</code> (preserved here) is the working spec:

* '''Total card size:''' 1632 × 2220 pixels (about 600&nbsp;DPI at 63×88&nbsp;mm / Euro poker, the English retail size).
* '''Title:''' Fiorello CG Condensed, 80&nbsp;px, kerning 1.0
* '''Destiny:''' Akzidenz-Grotesk BQ Extended Medium, 80&nbsp;px
* '''Lore:''' Akzidenz-Grotesk BQ Light Condensed, size 58, kerning 0.8
* '''Game text:''' Akzidenz-Grotesk BQ Condensed Medium, size 60, kerning 1.5
* '''Card type / Power / Ability:''' Akzidenz-Grotesk BQ Condensed (Ability kerning is fiddly: IL +1, ITY −1.3)
* '''Deploy / Forfeit:''' Fiorello CG Condensed, 70&nbsp;px
* '''Parsec:''' Craft Gothic Heavy Expanded, 65&nbsp;px
* Use typographic quotes <code>‘’ “”</code> and the uniqueness bullet <code>•</code> in titles; in game text the square bullet is different.

The templates are GIMP <code>.xcf</code> layered files (GIMP is free). Photoshop users convert XCF→PSD. Light Side carbon scoring is a separate layer problem Bardez noted in 2021; horizontal wide-vision / Enhanced templates were added later for some types.

A matching font pack is <code>fonts.7z</code> in the same folder. Expansion-symbol and icon layers live in '''Assets/'''.

== How to use them ==
Open the template that matches the card type and side (Light or Dark). Replace the art layer, edit title / lore / game text, and export a print-ready PNG or PDF. Card backs are a separate template; this wiki also has no-text backs on [[Light Side]] and [[Dark Side]].

These files are for reconstruction, playtest printing, and historical study. They are not a license to sell counterfeit Decipher product.

== Template inventory ==
Every file from the Drive folder as of the copy on this wiki. '''Download''' is the preservation copy hosted here. PNG rows also have a preview.
