I use ChatGPT mobile app and brainstorm. I only show the child the results. Here’s a prompt: “Grim reaper wolf pet in style of Pokémon character. Make the body just out of skull and bones.”

Then I take this image to any of the number of online card creators. None are perfect. Most are half broken. You can use ChatGPT to make names. For example, we made a card for my wife who’s an attorney. We asked for character names based on her profession (law) unique last name with a fire theme. Then we asked for attack descriptions. I used these, heavily edited, to create a full card with her “likeness.”

Flaming justice hammer, anyone?!

For printing I use a laser printer w duplex. I have a trial/error workflow for lining up 4-up cards. I use a heavy poly cardstock from Terraslate. I think the 10 mil. It’s pretty close look/feel and they will last a long time.

These are purely for our own enjoyment, but we have also done play dates where we make custom cards for friends that visit.

The only downside is every kid wants their character to have 300+ HP. Ha!
