Tauwolf Posted November 6, 2011 Report Share Posted November 6, 2011 Hi everyone, just wanted to give you a preview of a project I've been working on. I'm sure my friends and I aren't the only players who have thought the Puppet Stat Cards are just too darn big. Any game using more than 8-10 puppets per side starts getting pretty crowded on each players side of the table. I decided to see if I could make playing-card size puppet stat card that retained all the functionality of the stock cards. The card set isn't quite ready to be released into the wild, but I wanted to share some previews with you. Enjoy! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Justin Posted November 6, 2011 Report Share Posted November 6, 2011 I like it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hugor Posted November 7, 2011 Report Share Posted November 7, 2011 They look good, and I like that they will remove some of the space constraints from the table. Plus, for all use crazies who are itching to put our puppet stat cars into some sort of sleeves for the extra, probably unneeded protection, we will now be able to do so.

Tauwolf Posted November 7, 2011 Author Report Share Posted November 7, 2011 Exactly Hugor. Hopefully this design will help solve a few minor issues, reduce a few small sources of aggravation, and make the game even easier and more fun. Just a small update, the card set should be getting a test print today on a nice laser printer. We'll be looking for color and quality issues. I'll also start going through the set today for a final correctional edit. I'm an absolute nutter when it comes to precision - these cards will be perfectly precise to the pixel lol. And, apparently I love alliteration..... After a test game or two, I'll let you all know where you can get the files. Thanks for looking!

AntiZombie Posted November 7, 2011 Report Share Posted November 7, 2011 before you release this publicaly i suggest you clear it with wyrd first as these are all the intellectual property of the company. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tauwolf Posted November 7, 2011 Author Report Share Posted November 7, 2011 We aren't selling the files. It's no different than Ratty's Malifaux Photoshop card templates, and all the information and art on the stat cards is available on the Puppet Wars website. Obviously, If Wyrd wishes us to not provide these files, we will not hesitate to take them down. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
R.J Posted November 13, 2011 Report Share Posted November 13, 2011 I am really looking forward to get the finished Cards. Good Work! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tauwolf Posted November 13, 2011 Author Report Share Posted November 13, 2011 Just an update. I spent yesterday redoing the text of all the cards, since after the test print I realized there was room for a slightly larger font size. I also changed the colored panel on the backside to match the front's gradient. The set should be available this week. Locally, we've decided to use the Master puppet cards that come with the game. There's just too much information on them to try to cram into such a small space. I'll include cards for the Masters in the set, though.

Hugor Posted November 14, 2011 Report Share Posted November 14, 2011 Looking forward to this. Thanks again! I agree with the Master's Card. There is a lot on the card, and that will differentiate between the Masters and the pawns / sidekicks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
geonorton Posted November 19, 2011 Report Share Posted November 19, 2011 wow, great time and effort given to this. Really looking forward to them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tauwolf Posted November 22, 2011 Author Report Share Posted November 22, 2011 So, my other thread with the link to the downloads was removed. No explanation given. I'll try to find out what's up. In the meantime just pm me with your email address if you're interested. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nathan Caroland Posted November 22, 2011 Report Share Posted November 22, 2011 (edited) Try not. And you'll get an e-mail and explanation here shortly. Not bad, just need to sort a few things.

LaFemmeGeekita Posted December 6, 2011 Report Share Posted December 6, 2011 Sooo... what ended up happening with these? Because they're super handy.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tauwolf Posted December 6, 2011 Author Report Share Posted December 6, 2011 lol you couldn't just ask me in person? I'm waiting to hear exactly what needs to be changed (Wyrd's understandably asking for copyright info to be added). I'm in a holding pattern, waiting for the exact text to add so it only has to be done once, but I would expect the files to be available online again later this week. We've played several games with these cards now, and they make a very significant difference in the space needed to play a game of Puppet Wars. Thank you to everyone who has been following the development of this project, and for all the awesome support. The wait is almost over haha.

Rathnard Posted December 6, 2011 Report Share Posted December 6, 2011 Assuming the copyright issues can be resolved with Wyrd, I'm definitely keen on getting myself a set of these. I'm one of those people who much prefer to keep my Malifaux cards folded nicely into a card sleeve rather than laminated and twice the size, I'd love to have a printout of these smaller cards. :smugpuppet1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mirror Krack'd Posted December 6, 2011 Report Share Posted December 6, 2011 These will be great once available! They look terrific. The only change I might suggest would be reducing the attachment side's box containing abilities and/or actions to just the vertical size necessary for the text. That would decrease the space needed beneath a puppet with multiple upgrades attached. Just a humble 2¢ thought... Cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As for the box size, in the files I have all the design information for each color card in a standard template. I turn on the layers I need and turn the others off. I played with the idea of sizing the text boxes to the text, but it made for a very random look across the whole set of cards and made the workload per card *much* larger for only a small table-space savings. Using a standard template keeps things nice and tidy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If that is the price that makes it possible to put a great idea into fruition, I'll pay it :fing02: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
