Tarot FillHow it works
Follow these steps to turn your favourite skirmish wargame PDFs into a print-ready package. You’ll use the official app for your skirmish wargame to export PDFs, Tarot Fill to process them, and optionally a desktop autofill tool to place your order.
Step 1: Download PDFs
Export your team'sPDFs from your favourite skirmish wargame app (e.g. save to your phone as PDFs).
Step 2: Track double-faced cards
Important! Depending on your faction, some cards may be double sided.
Look through your PDFs and note which pages are fronts (the first side of a double-sided card). For example, your card fronts may be: 1, 2, 4, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11. (indicating that cards 2 and 4 are double sided)
Step 3: Extract cards
In Tarot Fill, upload your 6 PDFs. Mark which pages are fronts for any double-sided cards, then click Extract All Cards. The tool will produce tarot-sized card images (70mm × 121mm, or 2.75″ × 4.75″ with bleed), with landscape cards first, then the rest.
Step 4: Assign cardbacks
You can use our default cardbacks, or upload your own designs. If you upload your own, use tarot-sized images (70mm × 121mm, or 2.75″ × 4.75″). Tarot Fill will auto-assign one landscape and one portrait cardback to the appropriate layouts — but double check that everything looks correct. When you’re ready, click Download package to get a ZIP containing cards.xml and a cards/ folder of images.
Step 5: Print
You can upload the generated images manually to your chosen card-printing service, or use a desktop autofill tool to automate the order (e.g. mpc-autofill v4.7).
To use Tarot cards instead of standard playing cards, edit the constants.py file in the autofill tool and set:
starting_url_route="design/design-your-own-tarot-cards.html",With that change, the tool will open the service’s tarot card builder and the rest of the process should run as usual.
Print Updates tab
If you only need to print a subset of cards (e.g. new releases or replacements), use the Print Updates tab in the tool. Upload your PDFs, choose which pages to include, and generate one combined PDF — either one card per page (professional) or multiple cards per 8.5×11 sheet (home cutting).
