How do they do it? I want to get my custom Heroes made up just like the actual hero cards. Anyone knows the specs?

It really doesn't take much effort... I get my cards together in photoshop, take it to office max. Print it on 80lb gloss stock. Cut it out and mount it on chipboard with spray adhesive and cut the chipboard and mount the back. Use the chomper to round the corners..

The hardest part is designing the card in photoshop. Once you get it printed, cutting and mounting takes all of 5 min.. That's going to be the closest your going to get. Fed ex won't do it and doesn't have the equipment to handle the board.

FFP has someone with an automated system that pumps these out on big sheets of chipboard then has an industrial die cutter punch them out. An easier way would be to print it out and laminate the card, but it won't look close to a stock card..

There are "print on demand" game makers that make the stuff, probably the same companies FFP uses. 10 to 1 they won't touch it cause its copyrighted material you using.

You know, I just had another idea...

I don't plan on ever using the survivor versions of the heroes.

I have 3 customs to make, me, my wife, my kid....

Maybe I somehow print up the cards, and affix them to the Survivor Heroes...what do you think would be the best way to do that?

I found you can get prints at those digital photo kiosks normally found in walmart for a fairly cheep price of about $2-$3 at most. I normally use a 4x7 template that I found on boardgamegeek and microsoft paint. with a little glue, some cardboard stock I bought on ebay for $8 and some sweet scissor skills...I get by.
