Title: Unwrap an early gift from Uncle Mike
Post by: LidlessEye on December 15, 2010, 08:55:55 PM

Well, maybe not so much unwrap as cut out.  Now available as a free PDF: the Twisted Fate Deck!  Available at http://www.strange-aeons.ca/doc/SA_TwistedFate.pdf (http://www.strange-aeons.ca/doc/SA_TwistedFate.pdf).

The document should be printed three times, double sided, and preferably on heavy paper or cardstock.

Nice! Thanks for this, my brother scored one of the actual plastic decks when it was still available, we've used it a couple of times to add twists to pulp games!

Is this the same deck as the ones you used to sell on the plastic cards?

Great, will have to print this out, think if you use plastic sheets then it might work without any glue or cardboard involved  :)

Depends on whether the ink from your printer will adhere to the plastic or not.  A safer bet might be to print on an ink-friendly transparent adhesive sheet (Avery or similar) and stick it to the plastic after printing.

Total brainfart, meant plastic "sleeves" haha sorry for the confusion

Ohhh, hard plastic toploaders?  Excellent idea!  You could put pretty much any sort of paper in those so long as it's thick enough to not show the other side through.

Still, the whole transparent sheet on styrene thing isn't a bad thought either  ;)

Nice touch with the artwork!  Must admit, as the original cards were white, I never really thought to spruce them up for this release.

I wouldn't recommend posting those anywhere though, unless you change out that elder sign for something a little more 'public domain' .  I seem to recall Chaosium isn't terribly forgiving about use of their imagery.

the "star" is public domain, if i read the terms of use the right way. here is a link to where i found it http://www.clker.com/clipart-2772.html (http://www.clker.com/clipart-2772.html) if anyone know why i cant use this, then please tell me and ill remove it. that is if i get to share it..

Ah, no worries then.  In the photo, it looked an awful lot like the version from the Call of Cthulhu rulebook, which could be an issue.  While similar, it's definitely not the same.

i appreciate the concern. to be toatlly honest, i didnt know that the pic was a public domain pic when i got it. i just nipped it from a google search:)
