Character cards for your roleplaying game

In short

RPG character cards hold a character's portrait, name, class, level, key stats and signature ability on one 63 × 88 mm card. Make them for the party, NPCs, monsters and loot. In Wallzy you add your system's own stats, such as armour class or spell slots, and print or show them at the table.

A card for each character at the table makes a session easier to follow and fun to collect. Make cards for the party, the villains, the shopkeepers and the loot, with whatever stats your system uses.

What to put on an RPG card

  • Player characters: name, class and level, a portrait, the stats that matter in your system, and a signature ability.
  • NPCs: a portrait and two lines the game master can read aloud, so players remember who is who.
  • Monsters: the numbers the game master needs in one place, without turning pages.
  • Items and spells: a picture and the rules text, handed to the player who finds them.

Use your system's stats

The four default stats are only a start. Add custom stats such as armour class, spell slots or sanity, and they get bars and dials like the built-in ones. Add custom fields for class, background or alignment and place them anywhere on the card, with labels in your game's own words.

Custom fields: any value your game needs, placed on the card.

A card for every character, quickly

Keep your party and NPCs in a spreadsheet and make all their cards at once with Batch (Studio). Or design one card and duplicate it in the library for each character. The AI writer can draft a character's title, ability and lore from one line, which is handy for NPCs you invent on the spot.

At the table

Print the cards at the standard size so they fit sleeves, or show them on a screen. A card back with your campaign's name makes a deck of NPCs you can draw from. See printing trading cards at home.
