Character Cards - Instant NPC Just Add Water!

[Kingreaper]

Character Cards are a deck of playing cards, each of which describes a unique character that you can instantly insert into your roleplaying game.

They're designed to fit easily into any fantasy game, and work as a portable game aid.

We're currently taking a vote on what our stretch goals should be: either an expanded deck for everyone or multiple different decks (based on different genres) for people to choose between.

I'm the other person involved in this (So I'm not voting) - feel free to ask any other questions about this kickstarter too.

On a semi-related note, does anyone know gaming stores we should contact regarding the store-collection scheme we're attempting? And what do people think of it?

Today we've posted up a story, based around one of the characters: Tony Sands

Here's an excerpt:

Tony Sands was not having a good day.

It had started out like any other day, with a game of poker; and like any other game, Tony had been playing for high stakes.

But he had bet too hard, and lost the (silk) shirt off his back.
He wasn’t really worried about that, he knew he could win it all back. He just needed one more game; his luck was bound to change.

Problem was, no-one was willing to lend him money any more. They didn’t trust him to pay it back, and they couldn’t risk using force when his father was Captain of the Guard.

So he decided to head back to the bar and get himself a drink. His tab was still good - it was still cheaper to bribe him with beer than risk an inspection.

That’s when he felt the tap on his shoulder.

A man was standing over him. Old and spindly, the man looked as though he was about to snap. But that wasn’t important; what was important was the fact he was holding a full coin purse.

One of our backers, an amateur artist, has agreed to help produce some better suit symbols in exchange for a unique reward. All comments are welcome, we want to make this the best deck it can be.
