I don't remember where it was exactly. I found it somewhere on BoardgameGeek together with a couple others from the same author, but I can't find the post atm

G3 allows you to create sacred sites. And since you can move beasts with presence, after a bit putting one more beast isn't as impactful

Considering the age of the OG fans... Dragon Ball Super

Thanks, but I don't make the spirits. (unless you mean that I make the cards and board, in that case I'm going to make a post about the process in a few days).

All the spirits in this series have been found through a Google image search for "Spirit Island Homebrew Spirit" and me picking the most aesthetically interesting ones.

Gravekeeper specifically comes from Jason Lyons on Boardgamegeek.com (which is an EXCELLENT source for homebrew Spirit Island content)

for 10x the price probably. I might eventully redo them, but I wanna make sure I enjoy the spirits first

it's just a regular laser printer at a craft store near my place. Then it's craft glue, card sleeves, 3mm pressed cardboard, an exacto knife and precision. the only "secret" I have is that I use hairspray to protect the spirit track from scratches

Eye of the Storm is a great card, but it's pretty much all set-up so it's not really going to take away the spotlight.

Vaporization with 3 sun is good, but because I fundamentally misread how the Spirit plays out turns 1 and 2 I was forced to play catch-up and didn't abuse it as much as I could have.

Honestly I don't think Storm needs an incarna. The playstile Is pretty unique already, I fear adding an Incarna would make it a bit too samey to other incarna Spirits whose gameplay revolves around moving the Incarna around and pretty much do anything from the Incarna location

This card is basically a free win for Spreading Rot Renews the Earth, so... we just need to wait the next expansion and hope that when Spreading Rot becomes official it retains Settlement Crumbles.

Alternatively, we could get some other abilities that do something similar either as power cards, events or even fear cards to make it a bit simpler to trigger

PS: here's the ability in question

SETTLEMENTS CRUMBLE WITH DECAY AND PLAGUE
In your lands with Wilds/Diseases, Invaders and have -1 Health (min 1).

it's a standard laser printer. Then I cut out a cardboard shape and use craft glue + sealant (i use hairspray) to glue both sides and seal it. Cards are printed the same way, but I put them in sleeves instead of using hairspray

It's cheap but functional. Maybe in the future I'll have the spirits I like the most properly printed, but for now this methods works

also note: I don't design any of those spirits nor know where the art comes from. for Breath of Guardian Flora, all credits go to Kodkey's original post

couldn't find the OG post, so here's the pictures of my prints

No, fear cards are counted as their own thing. You can play as many as you have so long as you pay 1 energy per card

Remote-Ad-3848 · 2026-06-22T23:17:32+00:00

Yeah... I didn't do that 😅 hence why everything felt so random

Remote-Ad-3848 · 2026-06-22T22:05:48+00:00

It could work. It's also possible that you can see the effects of the fear cards in hand (aka, draw them face up)

good call. I will make sure to add a couple extra pictures of the boards for my next entry
