Gloaming Bestiary Board Game Card Template
by ShuffleKit
A bestiary card set for a monster-hunting board game: Beast, Spirit, Wyrm and Golem fronts and a shared back, cut to poker size and print-ready. Each creature is painted into a page torn from a hunter's journal, under a cost hexagon, a rolled parchment name scroll and a dark class plaque. A torn parchment panel below holds the creature's traits and its entry, with an ink study sketch pinned in the corner. The frame is built from editable shapes, so the hexagon and the plaque's rim are fills you can recolour, and the class typed on the plaque picks each card's front. Comes with an eight-card sample deck of invented creatures.

Adding a template copies its designs, fields, and sample cards into your own project. Your copy is yours, and later changes by the author never touch it.

What’s in Gloaming Bestiary Board Game Card Template
Five designs: Beast Card, Spirit Card, Wyrm Card, Golem Card and Card Back.
Your cards live in a sheet, one row each, with a column for every field the designs read: Name, Artwork, Subtitle, Cost, Traits and Description. Eight of those rows arrive filled in, so there is something on the design before you type a word.
Printing at poker size
Poker: 2.5 × 3.5 in, 63.5 × 88.9 mm, 750 × 1050 pixels at 300 DPI.
Export a print-ready PDF with bleed and cut lines, or send it to a print-on-demand partner through Print & Ship. PNG and SVG come out at the same size, which is what Tabletop Simulator wants.
A printer asks for an eighth of an inch of bleed on every edge on top of those numbers, so this card goes out as 825 × 1125. The export adds it. Let the artwork run into the bleed and keep the text inside the cut line, and nothing arrives trimmed.

What happens when I add Gloaming Bestiary Board Game Card Template to a project?
The five designs, the six fields and the eight sample cards are copied into a project of yours, with the fields already pointed at the design. Nothing stays linked to this page afterwards, so the author's later edits never reach your copy.
What size does Gloaming Bestiary Board Game Card Template print at?
Poker size: 2.5 × 3.5 in, 63.5 × 88.9 mm, 750 × 1050 pixels at 300 DPI. Those are the numbers to hand a print shop, and the ones to check a sleeve against.
Is Gloaming Bestiary Board Game Card Template free?
Yes, and so is the editor it opens in. A paid plan buys export volume and printing, never access to a template.
Can I change the designs?
Yes. They land in your project as ordinary layouts, so you can drag an element somewhere else, put your own art behind the frame, restyle the type or rename a field. Edit a design once and every card on it follows.
Can I use my own cards instead of the samples?
Yes — the samples are rows in a sheet, and they are there to be overwritten. Type over them, add rows of your own, or bring a CSV and match its headers to the fields.
Can I sell a game made with Gloaming Bestiary Board Game Card Template?
Yes. This one is ours, and you keep commercial rights to what you build from it, crowdfunding and retail included.
Ready to build your card game?
This template is free, and so is the editor it opens in.
