(Finally) working on item cards set #2!


The theme for this set is general adventuring gear! Light sources, containers, general use items, etc. It will once again be 36 cards! After this (or more accurately, at the same time) I am working on set #3, which will be themed for treasure items. As before, I'm trying to prioritize card sets by utility. (When will I get to draw fancy magic weapons, I ask?! 😭)

Some stuff I want to try out:

  • Different card frames, including an option with everything on one side of the card.
  • Design elements like check boxes or durability bars to show how many or how many uses of an item are left (arrows in a quiver, hours of torch light, sips of a potion, etc.)
  • Papercraft envelopes or boxes to hold cards in might be a fun system for storage or to deliver loot! :)
  • I haven't had much luck with fillable PDFs, so I wonder if nanDECK files might be okay for people who want to customize the cards before printing? (For those unfamiliar with nanDECK, the cards would be customizable with a spreadsheet file. This would also include the loose PNGs of items, card frames, etc, in case anyone wanted to use them for things outside the scope of this project. Tiles? Stickers? Some kind of digital inventory management system for a VTT? The possibilities are endless I am just a humble illustrator.)

Speaking of which, I'll include some kind of license with upcoming versions -- probably CC BY-NC-SA; it's important to me that this project remains free and accessible.

Thank you for your interest! :D If you have ideas or requests for cards, please let me know!
