The first of the theme card decks for the OGA (which I'm now calling OGA vastlands cards in my filing system, because of course one must variegate one's filenames) is complete.
That's 60 cards. Here's one.
These are supposed to be the good guys, right?
How do the cards work?
At the top left you have the card's value (in this case III) and, if applicable, suit. This one has no suit, since it is a triumph card.
At top right you see the card's alignment. Nemesis or Ministry.
The left side lists level, life, power, target, duration, and range scores. These are to help the referee generate NPCs, powers, special effects, spells, traps, what have you. The target, duration, and range sometimes deviate from plain description to more evocative suggestions.
The text box at the bottom is descriptive text and countertext to accompany the ...
Art in the middle. Which is really why these cards exist, after all, isn't it? Isn't it?
Wait, is there a game for these cards?
Yes, actually there is. It's a trick-taking tarot derivation of tarock games I played in Slovenia. It should be quite familiar to many central Europeans ... and a fun in-world amusement for groups who've decided to just hang out in the Ultraviolet Grasslands and not go anywhere further than where they are for now. Maybe they're stuck for the winter or something ...
Yup. Definitely the good guys.
We're in the home stretch: one deck and the referee screen left, then a bit of layout. The good editor also just sent me the annotated digiscript of the OGA.
Ok, a few more cards ...
This lovely fellow is from the Vastlands Guidebook, the skeleton's path. Kolgar also appears in Longwinter as a buried hero, but that's neither here nor there. This can't be the same Kolgar.
And here's the postmodern soldier. Older flavor text, but now the card has done gotten colored.
Ok, that's it for this deck—you'll find links to it in PDF and jpg forms (if you want to use it in a virtual tabletop) in the exclusive contents for backers special section.
Next week, if all goes well, the next deck. Then: surgery. Hopefully that goes fast and uh ... yeah, fast and well.
