Ironbound RPG Item and Monster Card Template
by ShuffleKit
Magic item cards and monster cards for a tabletop roleplaying game, cut to poker size and print-ready. Every card is an iron-bound strongbox: warm leather inside a riveted brass band with a guard on every corner, the name engraved on a screwed-on plaque, the picture in a wide window, and a strap across its foot carrying the type line. An item's strap is enamelled in its rarity's colour, from pewter Common through green, blue and violet to amber Legendary and crimson Artifact, with a cut gem to match, and the Rarity column picks the front. A monster is the same box in iron on dark hide, with plates for its attack bonus, Armor Class and hit points and a wax seal with the XP it is worth. Items and monsters get backs of their own, a brass lock and a set of claw marks, so the two decks stay apart face down. Comes with a ten-card sample deck: one item of each rarity and four monsters, all original.

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 Ironbound RPG Item and Monster Card Template
Nine designs: Common Item, Monster, Uncommon Item, Rare Item, Very Rare Item, Legendary Item, Artifact Item, Item Back and Monster Back.
Your cards live in a sheet, one row each, with a column for every field the designs read: Name, Artwork, Subtitle, Description, Rarity, Attack, Defense, Health, Points and Card Type. Ten 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.
On the Hobby plan, export a print-ready PDF with bleed and cut lines. PNG and SVG come out at the same size, which is what Tabletop Simulator wants. On Indie, send it to a print-on-demand partner through Print & Ship.
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 Ironbound RPG Item and Monster Card Template to a project?
The nine designs, the ten fields and the ten 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 Ironbound RPG Item and Monster 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 Ironbound RPG Item and Monster Card Template free?
Yes. Adding it, editing it, filling it with your own cards and playtesting it online are all free. Exporting print files starts on the Hobby plan, and Print & Ship through The Game Crafter is on Indie. No template sits behind a paid plan.
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 Ironbound RPG Item and Monster 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.
