D&D 5E These Animated Spell Cards Look Like Something From The Future

They don't in older editions or games like C&C. But hey, I can see the appeal. It's just not for me.

Ahem

EDIT: or any of the CRPG games!

These are really cool, but at this point I don't play 5E as often as to pay so much for these. The Tarot deck on the other hand... I will probably get that. The problem with this KS however is that most people are backing it for the Tarot deck, but they still did not provide sample images for the Minor Arcana and the first and only stratch goal for the tarot deck is at 700k and it's a payed addon.

We used to have 3D cards like that in the 70s-80s. The image changed when you changed the angle.

I have the regular d&d spell cards. No need for duplicate despite the cool factor.

Looks more like Doctor Who than D&D. This is a D&D Gate:

This is the same company that did the animated spell cards back in 2018 on Kickstarter. Looks like another successful project for them.

Well those "3D" postcards were a hit back in the 70s. Most of them had 2 Photos in one and when you tilted them they showed something different, e.g. a person with or without clothing, or some object "moving"

But I love those spellcards, and I wonder if it is the same technology/base like back then

They use the same holographic tech. It is more refined. The KS video shows 8 layers. Which is impressive compared to the 2-3 layers I remember.

Think DC Comics Lenticular cover editions they do occasionally.

I concede your point.

Though, I don't remember which edition this Elmore rendition of meatball swarm this is from. Did thet add marinara when you learned meatball swarm II?

I still don't like the cards. Unless there is a meatball swarm one.

Whilst the tech is the same, the various layers are now calculated digitally, making far more layers viable than when this method was first invented.
