Start from a tarot template or build your own. Place borders, title areas, art zones, numbering, and suit symbols. Design once; it applies to every card.
Create a spreadsheet with card names, numbers, suits, keywords, and art paths. Link it to your template and every card populates automatically.
Export print-ready files for your chosen manufacturer. Sell your indie deck on Etsy, launch on Kickstarter, or just print a personal copy.
Yes. Design one card frame, link a spreadsheet with all 78 names, suits, numbers, and meanings, and Chitmunk generates the Major Arcana, the four suits, and the court cards from the same template. Change the border once, every card updates.
No. Oracle decks are whatever length you want — 22, 36, 44, 64, anything. Your CSV decides. The same template-plus-spreadsheet workflow handles a 36-card moon deck or a 100-card affirmation deck.
Two ways. If you commission an artist, drop their finished images into a folder and bind the image column to your template — borders, titles, and numbering stay identical. If you're using AI for prototyping, reuse the same style prompt across rows in your CSV so the Cauldron stays on-brand.
For prototyping and Kickstarter mockups, yes — it's a fast way to show the concept. For a final published deck, most tarot communities prefer original or commissioned art, and some indie marketplaces require it. Prototype with AI, then commission an artist when the deck is ready for print.
Export PDFs that match MakePlayingCards and DriveThruCards specs (300 DPI, correct bleed and safe zone) and upload manually. TheGameCrafter goes one step further — upload directly with one button on Rare and Epic plans. Tarot-sized components (2.75 × 4.75 in) are built in.
Yes — you own your deck. Print it, sell it on Etsy, Kickstart it, license it. No royalties, no claim on your art or your card meanings. Don't copy a published deck's structure or imagery — original work only.
