what do you use this for?

Seems like it is meant to generate printable pdfs with game gards for RPGs. When you click save it downloads a pdf that you can print.

yeah, I'm just curious what OP uses it for herself...what made him make it in the first place!

I was just introduced to the Fluxx card-game system this weekend; it's a system with different variants, Zombies, Monsters, there's even a version for the TV show Firefly.

Looking at the cards generated they seem to resemble the style/format of Fluxx and I wonder if OP plays themselves. I for one find it to be really neat, and may even use it myself for my weekly table-top night.
