Finishing up. Fancy new banner. Finished rules. Supremacy Final6.pdf

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!

Brightlord tokens have come in

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. 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. 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.

storm making tokens . Im going to get them printed. these guys are fantastic. Im making them double sided, one in dark wood one in light.

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. Also.... 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*

Hmmm. Im excited but apprehensive.

Officially ordered. Omg.

Big post today. You kids ready? First of all heres the most current proofs. Maple Cards PROOF.pdf They look awesome. Theres going to be a set in cherry and a set in maple instead of having the printing be colored due to some issues with the bleed alignment. Next. The box. Its almost done and it kicks ass. Looks great sealed and varnished right? Then here's the money shot: Yessssss The map turned out SO GOOD. Its not perfect, but i did my best. The only thing left to be done for the box is to line the bottom with something. And the cards are now in production. This pipe dream is actually coming together.

Ok this is turning out for the better. I used a silver kingdom map anyway. I can use a more recent one now. Back on track.

Im. Dumb. So the way ive been doing this is I work from the back with the finished side face down so that marks and scratches from working on it are on the back of the finished piece. Ive only made symmetrical things so far so it didnt click that i needed to work backwards. Better get off to remaking it TuT

Behold! A very questionably accurate map of roshar! My knife slipped and sliced me up good while i was working on iri. Im not the first to shed blood over the borders in roshar, but i might be the first IRL idiot to do so. The colors of Rishir and valhav are too similar and muddle the borders a bit but its too late now. Its drying in the press right now. This weekend ill get to wood burning the details. Im coming for you, reshi isles

Heres how the roshar panel is going today. I dont posess the skills to make it perfect and handle the islands so im going to go back on it with a wood burner

Moving on to the inside lid. Im actually bringing this pipe dream into reality. Each country is going to be a different kind of wood with the maple as a background. ( This isnt as impressive as it sounds. I bought a variety pack of vaneer. Ive got like, 20 different woods.) Maybe ill make a small border. Who knows. Talking with the printers. Trying something different. Ill post the resulting proofs.
