Pure opulance. Gloriously excessive.

Its SO soft guys. I wish you could it. I went for a low pile velvet and it feels like something between a baby and a peach. A baby peach maybe. 

Heres the process I used: 

I cut card stock into slightly smaller dimensions than the inside of the box. I did each side and the bottom separately. 

I then pinned the cardstock to the velvet and cut it with a 1/4 inch allowance, then mitered the corners. 

Then i took the cardstock and coated it with spray adhesive , then quickly laid it on the underside of my velvet piece, folding the flaps in and pressing to secure it. 

Once I had all 4 edges and the bottom done, I coated the inside of the box in woodglue, and one at a time adhered the edges, keeping it pressed until it dried. 

Ive never worked with velvet before, and its alot less fussy than I was worried it would be. Im glad I sprung for a proper velvet instead of a velour. I blew my budget for this project two months ago anyway. 

And this officially finishes the box portion. 

Im waiting on the cards to come in and im sending some inquiries regarding getting some tokens made. 

Unrelated I fell off a second story window and got a concussion this week. So thats neat.

This right here is the best part of any project. Seeing a concept go from sketch to a finished object in your hands is just *chefs kiss*

They came. Its done. 

Im finished. 

ITS DONE AND IM FINISHED. ITS IN MY HANDS AND ITS DONE

The brightlord tokens are the only thing that havn't come and im expecting them in next week. 

And the rules could stand to be polished, but I need playtesters. 

 

BUT THE PHYSICAL OBJECT IS FINISHED. 

I started this in august, and to you, my 3 followers.... You have been here with me. We did it. I want to cry. 

This project stretched my skills and demanded I learn new ones. Hundreds of hours of work went into this, from concept and design to material testing, to building. 

December 18th. Thats his birthday. I finished it in time. 

 

Alright. Heres the pictures..

 

So first off, like the email said above, they sent me all the misprints.  Theres gotta be a few hundred cards here. Its insane. 20231122_123626.thumb.jpg.3df53ecc44d21ab6d19e7a65b64a9324.jpg

Heres a closeup. It is indeed 100% real wood, in domestic cherry and maple.

The ink doesn't run in water. They are stormproof.

And there they are. Two full decks.

The fit inside the box is tight. The cards are slightly bigger than I had planned but they do fit, and with ebough space for storm and brightlord tokens. 20231122_172915.thumb.jpg.99eed98164900dfd18bf7d52e786927d.jpg

 

And thats it. Maybe ill give a light sanding to the edges, but its complete friends. 

Ill update you all when the tokens come. 

Maybe if I post this to reddit someone will playtest it for me so I can polish the rules.

Can't believe I never found this. Everything looks incredible, and I may have an addiction to documentation of the people behind such creative projects...eh, 98% of what you learn at school is a waste anyway.

Everything looks amazing, and it was an absolute treat reading through your creative process and personal thoughts. Thank you for posting this, it has made my day.

Aww thank you so much for reading it. Your comment made me smile alot. :) thank you. 

Honestly im amazed it turned out as well as it did. I had to teach myself so many things to make it work. 

All thats left is to wrap it up and give it to it's intended owner. 

 

But hey! If you want to play, please do download the card pdfs and tell me how it went!
