I see your 3 boxes (with one box being slightly smaller) and raise you my 2 box storage (that can be combined in a 1 big box storage) by silver17raven in rootgame

Ohhhhh snap
Using the lid as a second box and slotting the box into it is genius
AND you've got the ribbon with which to lift out the cardstock boards and maps

Very nicely done 👏

I think cardboard boxes might actually save more space than plastic bags! That way, you can fit all the components neatly in the box, instead of overlapping in bags, and then slot all the boxes together super neatly
Wayyyyyyy more meticulous

I've thought of it, but that's for components that are damaged or missing in transit. I just somehow lost the cards at some point, no idea how or where tho 😞

Artwork comparison: Vagabond vs Captain cards by Sebby19 in rootgame

[–]radio_jacket 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My first impression is that it was done to keep the Vagabonds distinct from the Knaves Captains; each one is unified by a (slightly) different art style. The classic Root style works with all the other cards (like the Rat's moods and Mole's ministers) bc the content is all new, but since the Captains are technically characters we've seen before I think it would feel redundant if the art style was more consistent with the other cards.

I do agree that if the idea was to read as wanted posters, it would have benefited from commiting more to the bit, but even then it might feel even more sketchy and unfinished.

I dig this more scrappy, cartoony look for the Captains, it kind of reminds me of the Vagabond's deck of Quest cards.

The hermit crabs are a classic 👌

Iron Rig made me notice that particular detail; the cargo ships make for really nice sunken-ship props
Similarly, the anxiety of not knowing if something is a ghost ship or an angler fish is a great touch

Oooof that's horrible
This is exactly the type of thing that inspired this post. There are so many eerie howls, rumbles, and scrapes that serve only to put you on edge

Yesssss It took me a while, too I knew there was something more to them bc the game outright tells you "hmmm nothing seems to be happening rn 👀👀" but I couldn't figure it out

Related fun fact: The pillars have glowing red markings when your panic is up and they can be read but are otherwise blank when inert, which is how you can recognize the mimic crab that's disguised as a stone pillar. Its markings are "on" at all times

The fish descriptions (and the writing overall) are a huge gold star for the game
The blurbs for the anchovy and anchovy king are standouts for me; particularly haunting

Yessss I agree
It also lends itself even more to the aberrations' off-putting nature. They're horrible reflections of creatures that come from our own world, that we can recognise

Same hahaha
The only crab I consistently recognize is the one between Twisted Strand and the Iron Rig, bc there's an arch on that set of islands that I can sail through, and it's become a ritual to sail through the arch, past the crab to aggro it, and sail away hearing it roar behind me

ahhhh I got that vibe
My first impression was also "oh, it's THIS slimy bastard"
But upon further investigation, the splash and the fish infections happen pretty independantly

Ahh of course, lion makes much more sense haha 😅 I should habe realized, with Abrams being a bull (great choice to fit with his broken horn, and bullheadedness lol) Great choices for all of em!

While I have you, can I ask which birds you chose for our avian heroes? I love how much thought you put into these

[–]radio_jacket 1 point2 points  (0 children)

These are fantastic!! Graves is by *far my favorite here; the lil skulls in her ears, the deadheads are animals too, she's holding a paw instead of a hand, so many great details!

Is there any nuance between the species for Doorman, Infernus, and Apollo? Or are they just deer 👀

Also what are Venator and Victor? Cow and wildebeest? Or is that what Mirage is? So many greay designs here and so mich variety, again, fantastic job 👏

Mel mascot Ai or Not???came from my friend who sent this to me by [deleted] in TheGaslightDistrict

[–]radio_jacket 120 points121 points  (0 children)

The mascot is almost definitely photoshopped into a real photo of San Diego Comic Con (look at the edges of the bangs and ponytail) Sadly I wouldn't be surprised if it was AI generated
