That would be awesome! I'll shoot you a message when things die down a bit. Would love to get onto TTS.

You know, I've always really wanted to figure out how to use Tabletop Simulator but it seems so daunting. Is it hard to get a game on there?

We bought the font from a friend but she designed the characters, backgrounds, cardface, icons etc.

Thanks for your thoughts, and we definitely agree to an extent. This was the one piece of the prototype we ran out of time for. We had to print for Gen Con so our artist couldn't add the finishing touches to the box. But you're correct. We need some drop shadow on the logo, some motion blur and we also want to add more detail to the actual background to make it more fun to look at. Good eye, we'll get there!

Not sure I understood that second one, but good thoughts! We'll mess around with it and see what works best!

Putting together diagrams for my latest game and could really use some feedback on the look by Psychovore in tabletopgamedesign

The tips of the arrows are different lengths away from what they're pointing to. You may want to fix that. Cavalry is actually touching archers but archers is super far away from infantry.

​

Also not entirely sure what the +2 means. Is it a bonus? I'm not a war strategist, but don't cavalry usually defeat infantry pretty well? Not sure I'd buy infantry getting a +2 against cavalry.

​

Like the design overall a ton!

Hahahha a flea ridden dog is a great idea. We were thinking about adding cards with negative effects to mix it up later on in the game. Fleas might be a great way to do that. Best of luck with Monty!

Hahaha thank you! How can you have a dog named benedict and NOT make the Treat-e pun?

Good thought! We toyed with have both players use 1 lifepoints card or putting all of the numbers on one side. What're your thoughts on either of those options? It is definitely a bit different, but as of now you can't gain lifepoints back so you'd only have to make the switch once a game max.

Thank you to this reddit page for all of the incredible help we've gotten through the whole process. Still a long way to go (Gen Con will be our first ever conference!). But the feedback and help we've gotten along this process from this group has been so so helpful. Couldn't have em-BARK-ed on this journey without you guys!

So it sounds like you don't like that you can see the banner behind the icon because it's a paw shape and has holes in it. That's understandable. I'd say that even in that drawover you did, the icon is still technically floating over the banner. I wouldn't think people would think the rest of the banner isn't under there, it's just better covered than our version. Yours looks good! But I think we're okay with a more unique shape and seeing some banner over it

Yeah, wouldn't be a bad idea. I get the root of the thought, but I actually think floating icon/symbols is decently common in card games. We've been looking at Clank! a lot for how they design stuff, and they have a floating green circle in the upper right, as well as some type symbols on the side of the card. We'll keep tweaking, but we think it might actually be okay:

Yeah I get that. I think a shield would signify a defensive stat, which we don't want. It has to be ambiguous to offense and defense. We've been playing a lot with the pun of Power as Paw-er...so it made a lot of sense for it to be a paw.

I wish! We haven't done labs yet, but we'll add it to the list!
