This section contains articles and pages about the theory and practice of deck, map, and figure design, as well as any other imaginable aspects of Epic Duels add-on materials. If you are looking for different ways to play, consider the House Rules section.
The resources below are broken into the following categories: Deck Design, which deals primiarly with tools and strategies for coming up with the cards themselves; Card Design, which deals with actually constructing the card images and turning them into physical cards; VASSAL Specific, which details resources exclusive to VASSAL extension development; and Other/Reference, which contains things like listings of Hasbro decks, analysis of terminolgy, and Sultan of Dorkistan's excellent Design This! series. If you'd like to make some contributions to the wiki, please read this first.

DECK DESIGN .PSD FILES
Editing
--> Requires Photoshop to open**. All text is editable and no special fonts are needed.
--> With a simple color change using something basic like the Hue/Saturation and character's name and image change, new character cards can be easily generated.
Printing
--> There is a 0.125inch bleed all around to account for any printing alignment issues and cutting.
--> The resolution is 300 ppi so the print quality should come out decent and a corner rounder tool can be used to make the cards look as close to the original game cards as possible.
Editing
--> Requires Photoshop to open**. Coolvetica font is required...it's available for free on dafont. Download and install it before opening this .psd file.
