A month has passed and I’ve been very busy with my real work, but fear not beloved cardplayers – much has happened. I donated gold and the gods of creation answered my prayers: A couple of new artwork pieces have been born and are now a part WT’s great art pool. If you feel the divine calling please consider doing the same ;)

To show a sign of life (yeah, there is a rule on the internet which says every great project which hasn’t posted anything in a month is stone cold dead, I know…) and calm your nerves I decided to show some double folded progress.

card
As seen to the right the new art looks delicious, doesn’t it? It’s a sample of how it could be used on an Event card. In this particular case, it also happens to be a card that will be playtested once I get enough cards done for the next major experiment with the orginal rules concept, one which kill the ORC and breathe life in a brand new offspring from my masterful wannabe-wose mind. :P

template
As the observant reader may have noticed there have been some development on the Event card template. We have gone from this template to the one you see to the right. In particular, the following has been changed:

Info box added at bottom: This will contain the artists name if the artist has contributed for free by donating his/her work under the GPL. In any case, it will also contain info about the cards ID number.

Each card will have a unique number which is a fast way of identifying the card without using it’s name. Next to that, followed by a dot, there is also a version number. This allows you to easily check if you have the latest and most up to date version of a card, since sometimes a card will undergo balance adjustments, spelling corrections et.c. as needed. Example: 1.3 would mean that the card ID is “1″ and it’s version is “3″, meaning that is the third time that specific card has been changed since it was officially published.

Leaf Icon: The new leaf icon in the top right corner of the card represents the Elvish Faction in the game, which would probably be called “Rebels” and be a part of an alliance (alliance is shown by the green colour of the card’s borders/containers).

Thought is that each faction will get it’s own icon which easily identifies the cards faction belonging. Sadly the factions lack official icons in BfW, but it won’t hinder us from drawing completely new ones when it’s time for the others.
