Arkham Horror: The Card Game

This plugin reads a decklist, automatically fetches card art from ArkhamDB and puts them in the proper game/ directories.

This plugin supports the ArkhamDB JSON decklist export and ArkhamDB deck URLs. To learn more, see here.

Basic Instructions

Navigate to the root directory as plugins are not meant to be run in the plugins directory.

If you’re on macOS or Linux, open Terminal. If you’re on Windows, open PowerShell.

Create and start your virtual Python environment and install Python dependencies if you have not done so already. See here for more information.

Export your deck from ArkhamDB (Export JSON on any deck page) and save it into game/decklist. In this example, the filename is deck.json and the decklist format is ArkhamDB JSON (arkhamdb_json).

Run the script.

python plugins/arkham_horror_lcg/fetch.py game/decklist/deck.json arkhamdb_json

Now you can create the PDF using create_pdf.py.

CLI Options

Usage: fetch.py [OPTIONS] DECK_PATH {arkhamdb_json|arkhamdb_url}

Options:
  --help  Show this message and exit.

Examples

Use an ArkhamDB deck link saved into a text file instead of an exported JSON file.

python plugins/arkham_horror_lcg/fetch.py game/decklist/deck.txt arkhamdb_url

You can also use the URL directly in the command line. Note the single quotes around the URL.

python plugins/arkham_horror_lcg/fetch.py 'https://arkhamdb.com/deck/view/12345' arkhamdb_url

Formats

`arkhamdb_json`

ArkhamDB deck export format. Export from any deck page using Export JSON.

{
  "investigator_code": "01001",
  "slots": {
    "01006": 1,
    "01016": 1,
    "01086": 2
  }
}

Arkham.Build decks export to this same investigator_code/slots shape, so its Export JSON output works here too.

`arkhamdb_url`

ArkhamDB URL format uses the full URL of a deck or published decklist from ArkhamDB.
