Arkham Horror LCG utilities

A simple set of utilities to read from ArkhamDB and OCTGN files mainly used to generate printable proxies in PDF format.

pip install arkham-utils

Using ArkhamDB images

Note the images from ArkhamDB have an FFG watermark on them.

from arkham_utils.arkhamdb import db
from arkham_utils.pdf.builder import PDFBuilder

cards = [db.search(name) for name in [
  'Blackjack',
  'Guts',
  'Emergency Cache',
  'Elder Sign',
  'Shrivelling',
  'Daisy Walker'
]]
pdf = PDFBuilder(cards)
pdf.write('proxies.pdf')

Using OCTGN images

You will need to first download the image packs from https://ahlcgoctgn.wordpress.com/image-packs/ into a subfolder named o8c in your application support directory (Library/Application Support/arkham_utils/o8c on MacOS).

from arkham_utils.octgn import db
from arkham_utils.pdf.builder import PDFBuilder

cards = [db.find(name) for name in [
  'Blackjack',
  'Guts',
  'Emergency Cache',
  'Elder Sign',
  'Shrivelling',
  'Daisy Walker'
]]
pdf = PDFBuilder(cards)
pdf.write('proxies.pdf')

Proxying an entire set

from arkham_utils.octgn import db
from arkham_utils.pdf.builder import PDFBuilder, PDFBuilderConfig

# write all the non-mini cards as a PDF
barkham = db.find_set('Meowlathotep')
PDFBuilder([c for c in barkham.cards if c.type != 'Mini']).write('barkham.pdf')

# write the mini investigator cards
mini_cfg = PDFBuilderConfig()
mini_cfg.cards_per_row = 4
mini_cfg.rows_per_page = 4
mini_cfg.card_height = 2.5
mini_cfg.card_width = 1.625
PDFBuilder([c for c in barkham.cards if c.type == 'Mini'], mini_cfg).write('barkham_minis.pdf')
