Monster Surveys

One of the cool things about working with Richard is that he ends up sending me a bunch of images beyond the ones I've asked for. Like a couple of way cool rakshasas. Rakshasas are not part of the basic DW monsters, so looks like we need to create cards for them. Because I have a lot of art (as well as lots of new monsters ready to art) I'm excited that we will be able to create expansions for our encounter card deck. Each expansion will have DW stats and its own fiction including custom moves. Each expansion card will be colour coded for setting and have the same backing and size as all our other cards.

We are also adding a funding level that gives you the opportunity to work with our team to develop your very own monster/encounter card. This card will be part of the first planned expansion deck, but even if we don't make the funding target for that card we'll still have your cards printed and sent out to every backer as limited edition cards.

Speaking of great art. There are a couple of local artists we think would be great for our project. One of which we are going to commission to create a fantastic card back for all of our cards. I'm pretty excited about this too. Once we've gotten a yes from this artist I'll link some of her art here so you can see how amazing it is. In our targets we have stretch goals that will allow us to colour all the art (cause coloured art is so much better!) and commission art from these local artists ensuring we get the cards out to you as fast as possible without sacrificing quality. (I'll preview the initial stretch goals in a future post.)

Oh, and the monster surveys. I thought it would be great to get your input on what monsters we should focus on when we put together expansions. I'm stoked that Lizard men/women are immediately popular - Richard draws a wicked good lizard man! Keep voting and we'll keep posting.

Speaking of posting - I'm going to set Friday's as our regular update day for this blog, starting with this post.
