Okay not sure if someone has done this already but I've been working on a Nandeck script to generate proxies for any card and I think it is finally at a stage where it's presentable here are some screenshots.






It works by putting the card info into an excel sheet and then builds the card using an asset folder. At this point, it should work for most of the basic cards with gen 1 and 2 templates there are some small errors I’m trying to clear up before I release this plus seeing if I can automate the excel file to make it easier to use and adding the HQ templates from here, and here a couple of the things I know needs to be fixed/ I’m working on.

Things that work:
Gen 1 and 2 card layout 

Icons in the text (only blocker, shield trigger, and Wave Striker have been added but they all work the same and are easy to do)
font and text styling (minus indents)

things that don't work:
minor position changes 

indent (as you can see on Macho Melon indents don't work at the moment I think I have a workaround but to fix it properly I’ll need to rewrite how card text works so that it will scale dynamically between boxes)

spacing is a bit off you can see it on Macho Melon I plan to get that in the text rewrite 

what I'm going to do next:

The card text rewrite is likely going to take the longest it is just way more complex than the way I have it set up now and I may need to get some help with it, I think I'll focus on getting printing set up and then make a tutorial on how this all work and how to set it up I also may work on some of the other layouts and add them to what I have.

So I've been working on this on and off since my first post and now think it's in a workable state so I'm going to release it.


Right now I have it set up to generate and print most if not all portrait style layouts for gen 2 cards with almost all the keyword icons, if there's a layout or icon missing I either didn't have it or didn't know, they're easy to add I'd just need someone to send it to me.


I've made some YouTube videos (links below) to explain how it works and hopefully avoid some common errors I ran into while working on it, it's not great but better than nothing, while it works the setup at the moment is a bit janky and I'm not sure when I'll be able to make it cleaner, one issue is that all images, icons, and deck files must be loaded in the same folder and another is that it will generate the cards wrong if you don't unformat the spreadsheet before printing, there's also some formatting missing in cards that I haven't found a good fix for yet, things like indent and double spaces don't work but other then that you should be able to make a good approximation of most cards by just copy/paste off DM WIKI and I was able to make a deck in about 40 - 60 minutes I made 2 starter decks DMC-29 & 30 and it took me 2 episodes of cowboy bebop each.


So I hope this is useful and usable for some of you. Please give me any feedback and small changes you want to be made and also please give me any template sets you have, I'd like to add gen 1 and 3 layouts to this but everything I have is incomplete.


Lastly, I want to say that past small updates it's unlikely that I will be working on major changes in the near future. A lot has changed since the first post. I've gotten, and lost a full-time job, and am going to be starting a new one soon I've been sick 4 times, may need surgery soon and at some point, I have to take night classes to finish getting my degree, my best guess as to when I would be able to start working on major changes to the system, like the ease of use and landscape layout cards is at some point after September.


Also just wanted to thank @Yggdrasil for the text font and templates that made this a lot easier and everyone on the forum seeing there were still this many people interested has kept me coming back to work on this for what has been a really rough year.
