Description

The Brillian Forge, a fortification card for my card game project. It’s getting fairly close to wrapping up so I guess I won’t jinx it too hard by letting the cat out of the bag. I hope. I think.

I’ve been working on developing a card game for a long time now but it’s only been within the last few years where I felt my art chops and design chops were lining up well enough to gel into a cohesive product. Strategic card games like Magic: the Gathering, Middle Earth by ICE, the Lord of the Rings TCG, and the World of Warcraft TCG, to name a few, have been a big part of my life’s gaming enjoyment and I always wanted to try my hand at crafting something on my own, top to bottom, designing and developing cards in a new universe fielding art that I’ve drawn on my own.

It’s been one of those bucket-list things that I’ve wanted to execute on for 20 years now and to be this close to actually finishing it is pretty exciting… Like, really exciting.

I’m still wrapping up the art, I have about 20 or 30 more pieces I’d like to finish up for the first small core set that I plan on releasing later this year, but yes, it’s getting pretty close. I’ll be posting updates in the coming weeks, things like card frames, general overview of the game, etc., as things ramp up and the game gets closer to being finished.

Thank you very much for supporting my work and my zany ideas, I can’t wait to share this little game with you awesome folks

Thou art too kind But thank you very much ^____^ The game is one of those things where, well, even if it tanks I'll still be happy with it because it's done lol.  So far it feels good when I playtest it, I'm still tinkering with a lot of values though.

Soon™.

Thank you very much!  There's been a lot for me building up to this, being this close is actually a bit scary since it's one of those situations where you're so close you just hope nothing goes wrong lol.

This is a pretty neat picture, although the practical side of me was looking at this and thought "that's a LONG way to reach for the heat source..." .

Haha well that's a very valid point  At this stage in making their lances, the Guide will stand on the lower platform and contract the focus ring so that the energy concentrates at a specific point.  Running the lance back and forth through the focal point helps temper it and an incredibly durable hardness.  Or something like that lol.

In the game it'll give a bonus to attack strength for characters who are wielding weapons and is an add-on to a location card
