I've been working away at an on-line tool to create extra cards for Warhammer Quest and HeroQuest. The basic idea is that you can fill out a bunch of text fields, change an image, see your changes in a preview pane, and hit a button that exports the results to a PDF file.
You can find the tool here: http://imperialvault.co.uk/DeckSmith/EditCard.html. Give it a whirl in Internet Explorer 9, Google Chrome, or Firefox if you can, as older versions of Internet Explorer may not behave.
At the moment, you can see the changes made to the card fronts in the preview pane, change the card background for some cards, pick item/monster images from a small built-in library, select/move/resize/rotate elements and export the results. There are a few types of card available to create, including Dungeon cards, Event (E) cards, Monster Event cards (M) and HeroQuest item cards.

Its early days, so there are a couple of pretty important features missing - most notably, the ability to change the card back to different types.
If anybody knows any good resources to plunder for card fronts/backs and item art, or has some original art they can contribute, then that will really help.
So: would anybody use this, and how? What would you like added? What types of card would be useful?
In theory, it should be possible to create Warrior Counters, Adventure Record Sheets with character portraits, character cards for home-brew Warriors, equipment cards, spell cards...
Cheers,

P.S. Sorry to those I play PBEM games with - I'll be back soon, I promise!
