Default What do you use to write on custom cards?

Pens don't seem to work for me and some things seem to never dry. What do you use to write on the blank cards that work?

How about a Sharpie with an ultra-fine point. :)

I print out lable stickers and put them on the blank cards.

Sticker printing? You can get some Avery (or Office Depot) brand mailing labels, which are about the size you need. There are a few common sizes, and you can measure how much space you've got on a blank card to determine which size to get.

In the templates of various office programs (such as Microsoft Word or Publisher), choose the size of stickers that you bought. Then you can type the text you want, and can even migrate photos or graphics into it. Print it out when you're done, peel, and stick! :)

If you want your fonts to match your custom cards, this thread is quite useful:

That one should almost be a sticky thread, or be linked from the sticky "information" thread. ;)

Other players pride and blood that I collect upon stomping them....

Or, a laser printer, using a card making program.

I didn't think that pride was tangible enough to use as ink...

By the way, a proper ellipsis consists of three dots, not four.
