NaGaDeMon 2017 #7 - Card Preliminary Designs

If I've decided that the imagery for the game is going to be a key element to help players get immersive in the session's unfolding narrative, then the aesthetic really needs to reflect film noir and neo-noir.

First, the generic card back which will be used for all the Acrhetype cards.  




Next, the front of the archetype cards. If the character is a "Racketeer" they get an image of a pistol of their card, if they are an "Upstanding Citizen" they have no pistol depicted.


Professionals have a deliberate space in the middle of the card which will be filled with the relevant rules that describe special abilities that might be possessed.

 

Then we have the name cards, where I'm thinking of using 10 distinctly male names, 10 distinctly female names, and 10 androgynous or ambiguous names.

A working computer and scanner...that means it is time to get back to work on the geomorph sequence. A lot of the discussion in this set of tutorials has been focused around square geomorphs. They're the easiest for most people to wrap their heads around.  But my preferred form of geomorph is based around the hexagon, these tend to produce more organic and interesting shapes. This is true for natural environments, but it's no less true for urban environments. The example set of geomorphs above as a simple two-phase system. One edge type is plain, the other edge type has a road piercing the centre. There could be dozens of combinations and permutations for each of the two phases around the hexagonal edges, but a quick look at the variety of buildings and road shapes shows that there could literally be hundreds of possible options when drawing these map fragments. But you certainly don't need to create hundreds of designs for the system to be effective. Usin
