4eX 58 - Error fixing

Hi

So there were some errors on the Aftermath set. I have endeavored to fix them. As of now, all of the errors I know of are fixed. The cards in the Box download area are replaced with fixed versions and the artscow pages are fixed.

Brother sterrance and Debris gargoyle both had text that didn't really make sense, so I reworded them to do what they were supposed to do.

Teka had a horrible picture error that has been fixed.

Karem tansiq and The world had incorrect or missing artist information

Gauntlets of Power, Stance of Vengeance and Wand of the Earth had art that was already in 4E and was thusly replaced.


Here is a list of the fixes with links for those that want to re-download them:

Teka - Picture fixed - https://www.box.com/s/tr3v9cbqf54w2hzdw73j
The Wolf - Artist added - https://www.box.com/s/vuefvrfuyqvf71appcbu
Brother Sterrance - Errata to his ability - https://www.box.com/s/cc5rs8jthh3dq0qjuo0i
Debris gargoyle - Errata to his ability - https://www.box.com/s/tzyj4w5kpjkxfqz812wn
Karem Tansiq - Artist added - https://www.box.com/s/dap16uhrbklan78g4wt4
Gauntlets of Power - Picture changed - https://www.box.com/s/7js7o5zz4rk7k9e3ciut
Stance of Vengeance - Picture changed - https://www.box.com/s/6m3mhl2qa0qrmhi3jk0j
Wand of the Earth - Picture changed - https://www.box.com/s/inysp3gbltbat2bagx8c

Also, on the artscow front, besides the above fixes, 3 cards were not sized correctly: Contingencies, Forsake Riches and Honorless. Here is a Fixed card option for those of you who already ordered some and would like to replace the incorrect cards. This link does NOT have The Wolf or Karem Tansiq on it, but has 6 each of teka, brother sterrance, debris gargoyle, gauntlets of power, stance of vengeance, wand of the earth, honorless, forsake riches and contingencies.
Fixed cards: http://www.artscow.com/gallery/playing-cards/fixed-cards-6o6lmbbvi4yr

One last thing: The free shipping from artscow expires on the 24th. They may offer other free shipping opportunities in the future or not. I have no idea.

If any of the my fixes turn out to not be fixed, please inform me asap o.o

image errors

So I said that was the last time I would update things but apparently I was wrong =)
Someone pointed out a major image error with Teka. Not sure how I and everyone else missed it (It was on like the 3rd blog post @_@)

Anyway, I had to fix it and while I was at it I noticed some minor image errors on some other cards. Most of the errors would not really be noticeable on the actual cards but they can be seen when looking at the images zoomed it.

None of these changes effect the text or gameplay of the cards, for those of you who have already printed some out. They are solely contained within the image area and most of them would probably not have been noticed. Teka would have been though, it was pretty major.

Printing @ Artscow

Hi

So for any of you guys wanting to print out cards at artscow, I have taken the time to set up the entire set and share the links. The set up time can be kind of time consuming, and confusing if you've never done it before.  Anyway, in the downloads section there is now a Print section at the bottom. Just follow the links and add them to your cart.

A deck of 54 cards is 10 dollars. a Set of cards consists of 3 decks (146 cards in the set). There were 8 left over slots, so I filled them with summon characters that I thought would be the most numerous.

If your order is over 20 dollars you can use the Shipped20 coupon for free shipping. Although that expires soon. Check the home page of artscow for other coupons when it expires I guess.  The only problem with Arts cow is that without the free shipping, shipping costs can add up quick. However, I have not found a better, more user friendly place to print and the quality of the halloween cards was good.

Also, while I did order a set to check on quality, it has not arrived yet. Actually it's still processing. I suspect they are busy for the holidays so orders may take longer now than normal.  I expect the quality to be good based on the halloween promo's, but if you want to wait until I get my order in, I will announce when I do and if it's all good.

Anyway
Enjoy.

Summons

I have read several comments about summon characters "After entering play from your hand" abilities and thought I would talk about it, to clear up some misconceptions.

When I started making summon characters, I had two options. Make them as playable only by summons or make them playable as normal and also be summoned. The conflict there is that a character you want in your deck will be more powerful than a character that is generated by an action. In general, most summoned characters don't have abilities, or have very limited abilities.

I did not want to make purely token characters if they were to be printed. It felt like a waste and kind of a cheat for the players, buying cards that are only useable via another card. So I decided to give characters, that were originally token characters, abilities that would only be available if played from your hand (IE, were in your deck) that way giving them a use outside of being summoned, but not making them more powerful than they should be when summoned.

Not all are like that, it's primarily level 1 characters. Bear for example, is the same whether summoned or not. However, it is much more difficult to have 10 bears in play than it is to have 10 skeleton warriors or mummy's in play.

4eX-Aftermath-Finished @_@

Hi
So, yesterday had the final previews of my first fan-based extension to warlord. It was a lot more work than I expected =)  And I know it took a lot longer than most of you would have liked. I think I mentioned it before, but I wasn't actually ready when I announced, it just seemed like the right moment and if I waited any longer the game might have completely died off.  So anyway, some things:

1) The downloads section is complete for Aftermath, I added items and re-uploaded all the previous files. So anyone who downloaded them before, please do so again as many cards had typos that had to be fixed. I hope everything is okay now, but there is always room for error.

2) I will have some artscow links available soon, for the playset. I will not be making faction sets or class sets. For anyone who chooses to make their own sets, using the PNG files in the download section, I have zoomed out twice on each picture to get the right size in the non-bleed area. I zoomed out 4 times on the halloween stuff and it was a bit small.

3) I am planning on doing more sets in the future. Future sets will be 54 card expansions. What this means is that not all classes and levels per faction will be represented like they are in larger sets. All factions and classes will be represented in total though. (For example, Deverenians might simply find they get non level 1's and no wizards in an expansion. What this also means is that Warlords will not be released in every expansion. I am planning on every other expansion atm.  I am not sure when the next expansion will be ready. 3-4 months most likely. I will not do the super long preview period again. Since the set is smaller and a lot of the groundwork I had to create this time is already there, I plan on things going much more smoothly in the future.

4) I made a logo for Aftermath. It's conversion to tiny is not so good and I made it quickly, but whatever. It's something ^_^

Nightmares Breath revisited.

There has been some discussion about Nightmares breath and the previous preview should be ignored. I have completely changed the card to be more in line with the power level of the other nightmare set items.

Simply put, a deck was made that abused the item, a lot. It consistently had over 30 fire elementals in play by turn 3.

Also, in retrospect, whether or not the item was broken, it was far too powerful for it's level. Consider the other summoning items put 1 character into play per turn and have other limitations.

Anyway, here is the new version, which is more in line with what the other nightmare set items are like. I apologize to those who were looking forward to using it. I'm not perfect.

For those curious: The original nightmares breath said: Order: Destroy all nightmare set items in play: Summon X fire elementals into play in your front rank, where X is the number of items destroyed.
While reviewing, I decided that probably wasn't all that good so I changed it to a spend order and got rid of the item destruction. That turned out to be over powered.

I thought about it a lot and decided that the wizard item should not move away from what the other nightmare set items do (They are all anti-summon abilities) and thus, nightmares breath has a completely new ability.

New version.

Some cleric items.
I'm taking a break from previews for thanksgiving weekend.


 Erm, this is supposed to be level 7 ^_^ (No time to fix it atm)

more of those items.

 Yay, more items.

Some personal movement for wizards. Might help with equipping the bigger items.
 A box of phantoms.
 Some damage output for wizards, but at a rather steep cost. Still, if a 3 wound chainlightning can win the game, might want to take to the hit.

Yay, more cards are ready ^_^

I mentioned this in a  thread so thought I should sow it first =)
 Someone was asking for some item protection. Sir Orban will keep the thieves away, but he doesn't work for just anyone.

 And here is a helm. It doesn't grant a HP but it might be worth using anyway =)

Downloads

Just FYI, we are double checking all the cards in the downloads, so those may not be the final ones. So if you are planning on printing any, please wait until they are finished so that everyone has the same wordings.
The finished ones are what will go in the ToL card spoiler as well.

Downloads

Hiya

Some of you will probably be unhappy about this, but I warned you. I deleted everything in the downloads section and replaced it with updated cards. These are the correct size (well, the width is right. They are about 3/16" short though.)

There is also a PDF. If you want to print the PDF out, After you click print there is a "Page Size and Handling" area that should be modified.
Under Size: Change it to Actual.

Under Multiple: Change Pages per sheet to 3 by 3.

That should work. It worked for me at least =)


Also, if you have a moment, go through PDF's and see if you can spot any typo's and what not.

Also, Also, Actions have been added.

card submissions

I know some of you would like to submit cards for future sets. (some people already have).
I made a link over on the side bar. If you submit ideas please put [Warlord Submission] in the subject. I have a filter for it, otherwise it is likely to be lost later on.

I make no promises to use your ideas, or give you credit. A lot of times, a card submission will spark another idea, or only parts of it will be used, or I will merge two ideas. So just, know that and accept it before you send me anything ^_^

Hi

You might have noticed a lack of posts lately.
I will not be posting every day anymore.

I am working on getting the latest set finished. I have been a bit busy with other things though. However, it WILL be finished by the end of the month, so don't worry about that.

I have made a cafe press shop page. while the prices are higher than if we did a bulk order for things, it's altogether easier to do it this way. So, if you are interested: http://www.cafepress.com/melonsshop

If there is anything else you'd like available, let me know. However, I cannot use the Warlord logo or any images copyrighted by AEG, so don't ask. Right now, the only art I have available is Ol' Jack. If I can acquire more art in the future, then it could be used.

Hiya

So, I resized all the character cards and will be replacing the download section soon. Which means everyone who downloaded them will have to redo so, sorry!  However, once everything is finished, Vhati is going to update the ToL spoiler so you only need the cards for printing =)

The reason I have not replaced everything yet is because I need to go back over everything and check for mistakes. For example: Picella should be Once per game.  Picella has a bear friend companion, she is not a bear breeder o.O A level 2 character that can perpetually generate characters for no cost other than spending was not intended ^^;;

 

I don't think I've shown much of what wizards do on the summoning side. So here is something for your necromantic horde needs.


And here is a card that I really like the concept of =)
