Hey everybody,
I am currently working on a combined card/dice game, in which the cards represent powers used by martial artists traveling the land, fighting monsters and each other. The cards are simple: they contain a title, possibly (but not necessarily) art and 1-3 dice-sized fields to put dice on. Those fields are color-coded and may contain symbols, telling the players which color of dice and which symbols can be used for them. Adjacent to each die field is a short text explaining what allocating dice to that field does. Some cards may also contain one other field used for stacking tokens on.
My question is this: I have no experience whatsoever in any graphics program, nor do I have more than very basic coding experience. I have used (and enjoyed) MSE in the past, but never created templates. Do you have any advice how to best go about this? The goal being to be able to relatively quickly create new cards at some point in the future. They do not need to work with Workstation or any other online tool; they are meant to be printed and used in a school project/game (I'm a teacher). Would it make sense to try and learn MSE-coding for this? Or would it make more sense to do it some other way, such as creating a template in a graphics program?
Any and all advice is very welcome. Y'all have tons more experience with this than I do, and I find it hard to judge the magnitude of what I plan.
Thanks!

Go for it!
I've made an (extreeeeeemely basic) template based on your description to get you started. You can get it here:
It's the 35.1K zip file, just unzip it the the 'data' folder that's in your MSE install folder, then you should have a new game available on startup called Card and Dice (working title), contained in the 'card-and-dice.mse-game' folder and the 'card-and-dice-main.mse-style' folder.
To then learn how to modify these yourself, I've made a tutorial on how to do that, which you can find here:
Finally, you'll find more responsive help in the Discord server, in the #mse-tech-support channel:

Thanks a lot for the encouragement, the tips and the work you put in! I'll check it out and see if I can wrap my head around it!  |

fhtagn, personally I am using Card Creator on steam, you can print the cards created with it on your own printer or at a staples type store, but it is not compatible with most commercial card game printing companies.
