Sorry Doom, but my mind is already settled onto an icon for the Jedi!

Also, check out the first post. Many new sights to see!

Nice. The Sith template looks... Sithy. They do like reds.

Potential tweaks:

- Should the symbols on the templates have some kind of outline or shadow? Seems the Fringe symbol especially is in danger of blending in with the template.

- I'm wondering how the Jedi symbol would look with the lightsaber pointing up. Down implies to me a position of rest, while up might mean a position of guard. Also, how would it look with the blade thicker? Good effect, though; I like how the smaller version looks like a star.

Hmm, the lime green/purple combo on the rebellion doesn't jive with me.  Maybe switching the circle to red, or moving from lime to a little darker green and changing the purple to blue/teal?  The symbol looks good, I'm just questioning the colors.  Great work!

I really like the Jedi and Sith templates. Not too keen on the Rebellion one. The colors I would have expected are white and orange.

I might play around with some outlines. At this point it would be a lot of work - darkening/brightening them would be easier.

- I'm wondering how the Jedi symbol would look with the lightsaber pointing up. Down implies to me a position of rest, while up might mean a position of guard. Also, how would it look with the blade thicker? Good effect, though; I like how the smaller version looks like a star.

Originally it was positioned with the saber pointing up, but the big problem there is that the hilt sticks out into the picture, and since the hilt is colored it really clashed with pictures I used on the cards.

Not too keen on the Rebellion one. The colors I would have expected are white and orange.

Yeah I just spent like an hour shifting the color scheme around. I realized that it was just too dark, so I brightened all the colors (except for the culture icon, which got darker). It's not white yet, but it's as close as I'm comfortable pushing it. The oranges stand out better now.

This is very interesting. On one hand, I find it very cool to see these cards sort of crammed into the LOTR gameplay format. On the other hand, as a former SW:TCG player, I feel like the mechanics of LOTR do not fit the Star Wars universe at all whatsoever.

The novelty is certainly amusing, though.

It's awesome that you liked Wizard's game, but I think the LotR TCG engine works better for Star Wars than the SWTCG engine ever did. I tried for so long to get into that game... it just didn't feel like a Star Wars game, really. There are a few issues with this particular crossover (starships being the glaring one, an issue solved intuitively by SWTCG's design), but by and large it's fun and satisfying to work my favorite science fiction story into my favorite card game.

You should definitely check out the entirety of the first set  Wink. Lots of goodies there!

Added a bunch more Imperial cards. Stormtrooper Fanatic is unique; I'll fix that tomorrow!
