The latest standalone version (commandline tool using puppeteer) is version 0.5.3

Andor Custom Cards Builder

This is a Fan-project for the board game 'The Legends of Andor'. You can write your own campaigns for this game and I thought I'd build something that generates original-looking game assets out of plain text.

I plan to upload this generator as NPM package and wrap as an Electron App with a (hopefully) nice GUI.

Installation

You will need NodeJS, npm and (of course) git. Clone the repo and cd into it. Then install the dependencies with

npm install

and you are ready to run.

Usage

To run the script with the provided example files, run

npm run test        # To run it for all example files
npm run test-story  # To run it for just the story cards
npm run test-fog    # To run it for just the fog tiles
npm run test-events # To run it for just the event cards

To use it with your own JSON file, use

node main.js
# or
npm start
# with one or all of the following options
--story=</path/to/your-story.json>
--fog=</path/to/your-fog.json>
--events=</path/to/your-events.json>

Your files should be valid JSON and should look like the example files.

You can use HTML (e.g. <i>, <b> and <br>) tags in your text to format it italic, bold or insert a line break.

To override the image used for the story and event cards, you can add a image property in your JSON, like this:

{
  "index": "A2",
  "text": "*Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet.",
  "image": "/path/to/your-background.png"
}

The resulting ready-to-print PDF files will be located in the generator/out directory by default. You can use --out-dir=</some/folder> to specify a custom output directory.
