Before Anachronism was even a year old, players started wanting to expand the Anachronism universe by making their own cards. On this page you can see my own "vanity card" (click on it for a larger version). TriKing itself has even set up a Fan-Created Cards forum on its own web site, so that players can share their creations.

In the interests of furthering high-quality, creative fan-made cards, Dystemporalia offers the Fan Card Construction Kit. This kit allows Anachronism players—even those with relatively low computer or graphic design skills—to easily create attractive "dream cards" that can be shared on the Fan-Created Cards forum.

For some examples of customized cards, see Dystemporalia's Fan Card Library.
