Features

What Makes This Card Type Special

Fantasy Art Generation

The AI leans into high fantasy aesthetics when it detects RPG-style inputs - swords, armor, cloaks, fantasy costumes. Expect epic compositions, dramatic lighting, and adventuring-party energy in the card artwork.

RPG-Flavored Abilities

Character cards get abilities that feel at home in a D&D session. "Fireball" (60 damage), "Divine Smite" (40 damage + heal 20), "Sneak Attack" (double damage if opponent is below half HP). The AI picks up on class archetypes from visual cues.

Miniature Support

Photos of painted miniatures produce surprisingly good results. The AI interprets the miniature's details - armor type, weapon, colors, pose - and generates full-scale card artwork from the mini's design. Great for immortalizing your best paint jobs.

Party Card Sets

Create cards for the entire adventuring party. Each player photographs their character (cosplay, mini, or whatever represents them) and gets a unique card. Build a complete party set - the DM gets a card too.

Session Zero Gift

Print character cards at session zero as icebreakers. Give each player their character as a trading card before the campaign begins. Especially effective for new groups and convention one-shots.

“We are seeing record engagement with Dungeons & Dragons. The community continues to grow in ways that bridge digital and physical play.”

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

What photos work best for D&D character cards?

Cosplay photos produce the best results - full costume with props (swords, staves, spell books). Painted miniatures also work well, especially close-up shots with good lighting. Even a quick sketch of your character uploaded as a photo can give the AI enough to work with. The more visual cues about the character's class and style, the better.

Will the abilities match my character's class?

The AI generates abilities based on visual cues, not explicit class selection. A photo showing heavy armor and a sword typically produces Fighter-style abilities. Robes and a staff generate spellcaster abilities. It's not guaranteed to match your exact D&D class, but the AI is usually thematically close - and the unexpected results can be fun too.

Can I make NPC and monster cards?

Yes. Upload photos or artwork of NPCs and monsters to create encounter cards. Dungeon masters use this for important bosses, recurring villains, and memorable NPCs. A dragon figurine photo can produce a Dragon-type card with devastating abilities.

Can I use AI-generated character art as the input?

You can - the AI accepts any image input. Photos work best, but AI-generated character portraits (from Midjourney, DALL-E, etc.) can produce interesting results. The MakeACard AI will generate new artwork from the input, so the output won't look identical to the input.

Are these cards compatible with actual D&D gameplay?

Not directly - the stat system is MakeACard's Pokemon-inspired format (HP, abilities, damage values), not D&D's d20 system. They're collectible cards, not character sheets. But many DMs use them as visual aids, initiative trackers, or NPC reference cards at the table.
