  1. Shallan lol. You?
  2. Next thing i need to consider is design. Since this is the mentioned Herdazian make, i need to consider what the herdazian stylistic language is. Since herdaz is much like mexico, im going to look at mexican patterns and aesthetics to make design decisions. Im looking at talavera designs primarily, especially vintage tiles. Ill probably modify the pdf of the cards to include more decorations. Im unsure of Ill have it printed directly onto the cards or paint it on myself. But im going to have to do some sketches. Im particularly interested in the monochromatic designs because that would make my life so incredibly easy. Whatever. Ill do tests with rhe samples I ordered what stain overtop printed designs look like. Next step: Sketches Get pdfs Wait until the wood samples come
  3. Printing considerations A letter sized piece of paper can hold 8 unique cards. 2 sheets of such would be needed to make the whole deck for one person. Blanks are 34$ for 10 pieces which is the minimum. This would make 5 decks, so two full card sets and an extra deck, so thats wiggle room for mistakes. Ive sent the inquiry for a double sided letter sized project which I can jusy cut to size. So i would need two seperate projects to cover all the cards, which would then give a full 5 sets of cards. Maybe I could send them to Rashak, Parchment engineer and Graulas who are responsible for the game. It would be double the price to make whole seperate pdfs and jobs for different colors, so i could stain the cards different colors instead. Transcript for bad handwriting: (Blanks = 34 per 10 If printing can buy just 10 Sent inquiry Stain different tones for different decks to differentiate 10 min 34$ 10 min 34$. 68$ for blanks *A series of letter proportioned boxes are divided into 8 with the card names in each square.* 2 letter size = 1 set )
  4. https://www.cardsofwood.com/cart/ This is my first idea as it requires less time and energy and on research is probably more accurate to what i want. Ive ordered a sample pack and 10 sheets of letter size maple pieces. The sample pack will allow me to see the different woods and their printing. Ill test : Waterproofing Stain application Sealant application Painting Woodcut printing Whether I can use it in the printer My potential moves from this event tree are to : A) print them myself. This may require purchase of a waterproof ink, but otherwise will just require empty sheets and my own abilities B ) See if i can have the project printed by them. Business cards are out, since there are 11 different cards and business cards for a single design are a minimum of 100 but I might be able to have a pdf project with multiple cards printed on a large sheet and cut it myself. They can also print on the reverse so i can have a backside design. The minumum number to buy blank sheets is 10 so maybe thats the minimum for printed sheets too. I'll have to speak to the company about a custom project. This seems like the least effort so ill pursue that. From there Ill stain them and the box to match each other, and shazam.

  6. Creation spren. Its cute to think about having to shoo them away while I draw. I wonder what digital art spren would do?

  8. im Trying to make a physical wooden herdaz set! If anyone has any advice, please let me know!
  9. The cards themselves So here I am agonizing about what kind of wood I should get and at what size. I do not have the ability to cut wood myself. The options are very thin pieces of wood, or veneer wood which is weird. Its like glue attached to a very thin layer of actual wood. Its what they apply over cheap furniture to make it look like more expensive wood. Its pliable though. The glyphs are more of a problem, although I could have someone engraved them, but im not sure how that would look. Lots of decisions to make. Transcripts (*What material? *What size? *Vaneer or whole wood? Back of cards should mirror mox False inlay: masking different stains dorectly against each other. *Is there a way to make a stencil? *How to apply glyphs without giving up on life? Paint? False inlay? STAMP?) Well thats my progress so far. Ill post here as I go to show my progress and hopefully some helpful folks can assist me make some decisions.
  10. I got this idea to make a physical "herdazian make" copy of this game as a gift and it turns out the kings in this thread already figured out the design and rules, which makes me so happy I could cry. So my idea is based entirely on "Sah's set of wooden, lacquered cards is of Herdazian make" , and obviously I would die happy if the lighteyes who figured out the game in the attached thread would approve of this nonsense. I want to post here for both guidance and support. Here's what I've got so far. Ill post the other pages on other posts (Transcripts of my bad handwriting. A quick sketch of a squire card is above) The cards will be on laquered wood. *What kind of wood? (Laquered wood is cheap and pliable vs thinly sliced wood. Which would be better/more accurate? ) *How is image applied? *What size? *Would the numbering system be the same? *Do I want this playable or as an object? 24 total cards graulas added 4 more cards Total of 32 cards End of page 1 Okay page 2 of my notebook. "The box" The box. If im going to make something as insane as this its going to need a nice box. I found this sexy lookin' cigar box im stripping the paint off of. Ill strip it and refinish it to match the stain of the cards. Ill decorate it with a faux inlay method, where different colors of stain are applied flush together, usually masked off. Then Ill seal it so its nice and shiny, and line the inside with baize. Transcript of my bad handwriting: ( Arrow. Whats going to he the glyph on top? Line it with baize maybe? *Order swatches *Decorate box with false inlay
  11. Concept: a card game based on the description of the game played in Oathbringer. The ultimate goal is to make an accurate in universe "Herdazian" varnished wooden set as a gift. Read below for project intro and status Status checklist The cards: Design cards✓ Write rules ✓ Send to printer✓ Recieve cards ✓ The box: Acquire box ✓ Chose hardware✓ Sand ✓ Stain ✓ Inlay ✓ Varnish and seal✓ Install hardware✓ Line inside of box✓
  12. Hi! I made a new account just to talk to you guys here. Im planning on making a proper herdazian laquered set as a gift, and I want your blessings and assistance for this endeavor. Im going to make another thread to keep track of my progress, and would love input as I go along to make it as accurate and wonderful as possible. You all have taken the monumental and amazing task of writing the tules and designing the cards! (Thats absolutely incredible, btw!) So all I have to do is make it a reality physically. Would that be okay?
  13. Hi there! I would say my interests but they would be apparent by my being here. Otherwise...I make stuff! Thats what im here for. So please be my friend!
