I'll have them at BrenCon to play, use, whatever, for the big reveal.

I've done 32 cards all based on the Rise of Orthanc game run here.

I also found a really near site, that will print them as real cards, which I might have to give away to the Tourney winner if we do that, or perhaps as an auction item. I won't have time to bring more with me than just printed cards unfortunately. No time to ship.

I might want to pick your brain about how to do this. I think doing the same for the GoT LCG based on A Clover Blooms Red would be awesome.

No. I heard however there is a card maker and mod for lotr on there but I just found really nice card templates on bbg and use photoshop from there.

I'm actually glad not, because I really want to do it, and Strange Eons doesn't have any GoT plugins. Can you point me to the templates and I'll see if there are any GoT ones out there?

Just do a Google Search or look on BoardGameGeek

Maybe a starting point:

I have been, trust me, I have been. The thread you linked is actually for the board game. I think I found the templates you use.

Unfortunately, I think building the templates myself would be too difficult for my GIMP-fu.

You need to find templates someone else made otherwise its too hard. Dropping art and editing text and layers is cake. I just finished transfering the LotR cards to PDF sheets (with backs, but they need minor adjustment) so its easy to print.

I did a search, don't see ant custom cards for that game, mainly I think because it not a Co-Op game, and you've never be able to play a homebrew card competetively, but since in LotR you are buddies and allies, its no big deal, and people have been making quests to go on for it, etc.

My next project is to make a LotR LCG Adventure based on the game here.
