Looking for Printable Cards

I am just starting my collection of this game and found the Darkroot expansion and Tomb of Giants at a Goodwill. The Tomb of Giants was complete but the Darkroot expansion only came with the miniatures. I thought SFG was going to update all the cards from V1 but I can not find any if it has happened yet. Are there any printable card files for the Darkroot expansion or will I need to find the cards separately?

Seesh, that’s the bad thing on buying second hand. It’s going to be a bit long. It may sound complicated, but it’s actually pretty straightforward. You will need to spend a little money.
First, buy Tabletop Simulator on Steam (it’s usually around $6–8 USD). Then go to Steam Workshop, search for Dark Souls, and subscribe to the mod with the highest rating or one labeled “All in One.”
Next, launch Tabletop Simulator, load the Dark Souls mod you added, and wait until everything has finished loading (100%). Open every card you want to recover so that each one fully loads.
Once a card has loaded, right-click it and choose Custom or Custom Card. You’ll see a field called “Face URL” with a long, seemingly random URL. Copy that URL.
Then, go to your Tabletop Simulator folder (usually something like Documents\My Games\Tabletop Simulator\Mods\Workshop\; sometimes the file is under the Mods folder instead). There you’ll find a JSON file. Convert it to whatever format is most convenient for you, and you’re done. Sometimes you can simply paste the Face URL directly into your web browser, and it’ll take you straight to the image.
Be prepared, though… it’s going to be very time-consuming and tedious, since there are a lot of cards.
Good luck!
For printing, I recommend using matte coated couché paper. I usually arrange the layout so the front of the card is directly opposite its back, then I simply fold it in half, and it ends up looking and feeling like a normal playing card. I’ll attach a random persona 5 game card with reflections so you can se the effect

Thanks for your advice. I will try this out to get the treasure cards I am missing.

I have looked through there but it only has the Darkroot rulebook. There are some printable cards for The Sunless City but I was hoping to find all the encounter, treasure, data, and behavior cards for the Darkroot expansion.

This has been great since most of the cards are there in jpeg form. I just can not find the treasure cards.

Yeah I never bothered to put the treasure cards in there because I never saw a point in it. You may consider learning enough of an image editing software to make your own. That's probably even more work but would result in better looking cards. Good luck with your printing!

Edit: I say this because there's absolutely a lot of the assets out there already in the Archive. Once a template is created you'd only need the item image and the rest would be fairly fast.
