[QUOTE="InkwellIdeas, post: 6037262, member: 26988"] For pricing, you see Paizo's card sets are about $12 for 50-55 cards. I think I can come in a little under that on a per card rate, although I'm not sure if i should break it up into 4-6 sets of 50 cards, 2-3 sets of 100 cards or just one big set. It gets tough to price the printing, buy the art, offset my time and keep the quality high. If we break it up, each set would have 1-3 different types of creatures: outsiders, monstrous humanoids, undead, etc. Its tough. But I have kept almost all of it at 6.5pt. A few things that are less necessary (languages for example) are 6pt to give a little extra space. Also placing the labels half-under the text helps. To me I just like them. I like the form factor better. I can lay them all out into 9-pocket pages and see a bunch at a time instead of 1-2 per page. And I can pull the cards of the creatures I'm using, but them on a 9-pock page or two and clip them to my DM screen. Also of the cards will have art instead of just a few creatures have art like some books. I think we'll also create a number of variant creatures. For example, in our current Kickstarter, the "Wood Golem" turned out to be more of a "Totem Golem". So maybe we'll develop a group of new creatures. And there are the variants already mentioned. I've been thinking about a simple-ish game to include. But it runs into two problems: -No more space to fit different stats. -Both sides of the card give away what creature you're holding. (If you know any games/game mechanics where this doesn't matter, please let me know.) Wow, I love the goblins. But to each their own. I'm sure there will be a few different creatures each person will dislike. Hopefully everyone will like 90%. (It will just likely be a different 90%.) Washing out the backgrounds would be easy to do if it becomes an issue. I can see that to a degree with the medusa. (That background was a separate piece and we might swap it out anyway.) [/QUOTE]
