Hey /tg/, I like to make CCGs as a hobby and I enjoy exploring different themes and mechanics.
However, when I want to prototype a game, I spend a lot of time mocking up frames in GIMP because I'm terrible at image manipulation. I wondered if some kind anon had a library of generic CCG card frames that I could use. I'm just looking for a grey or single colour bar at the top for a name, and a text box at the bottom with a typeline. Does any kind anon have something like that?
Pic related is what I've been using because it's all I'm capable of making. Looks like ass.
Bump for interest

You want something that works in Magic Set Editor?
>>44612090
No, just something that looks decent with a transparency window that I can put art behind and that's not actually copyrighted material.

I know but, why you dont use MSE?
I think is ok if you use a template for a game made by yourself
>>44612552
I think he's asking where he could find such a template.

I'm looking for something more generic, so if I show it to people they won't go "Why did you recolour a Magic card?" Also, I generally experiment with resource systems so I need more flexibility in terms of presentation of resource mechanics, ie, the Magic card typeline doesn't work as well when your mana system isn't as basic as the colours.

Like this? I made it with PowerPoint and googled images.
You can create templates of your game in MSE that may not be of magic

Do you have a link to a good tutorial on making these templates?
>>44613528
I dont. Just download images of what you think would fit in the card. Then put all together with Powerpoint.
This is the card without the images based in your card

I either have a tutoral of MSE template, you may try luck in the forum or read the documentation

That's probably a little too complex for what you want, but:

You want some of the images that I use?
Alternative card
You may use something like a progress bar instead of bottons

Ask here, maybe someone can help you?
