The other Frostgrave Spell Cards thread - 10/09: A farewell to cards

[Darkson71]

Bums, wish Osprey had bought yours as well, as I'd have bought both (yes, I'm a sucker ), but fully understand their reasoning behind it.

Just wish I had the photoshop skills to do something similar.

Dang, I guess there goes my chances of ever getting vertically-oriented spell cards.

[Argonor]

I've recevied the OK to finish my cards for personal use,

You don't really need that. Anyone can make up anything for their own use. It's only when selling stuff you transgress on IPs.

[Daeothar]

I know that (at least: I know it is so in the Netherlands. Getting to grips with international IP laws is teeth-gnashingly frustrating  ), but considering I have been using the artwork they commissioned, that I was originally planning on sharing my cards and the fact I was posting them on a public forum, I feel they are justified in requesting me to stop sharing them.

And since they cannot control whether or not I would share them in secret after all... Let's just say that there are companies in this industry who would put the hammer down with a lot more force than the friendly message I received. Official cease and desist letters, threats, fines etc. 

So, considering the above; no matter if they are legally entitled to demand my stopping completely or not, morally they would have a point (at least I think so). But instead, they acknowledged the work I have already put into my designs, and they have no issue with me proceeding, even though they have no control over what I eventually do with them.

Oh; and just to be clear to everyone; I will not be breaching that trust by making any exceptions...

...And more importantly, now you can do your cards as you like, instead of having to care for a dozen different and contradictory suggestions!

[Daeothar]

Then there's that, yes...

While /I understand the decision, I'm incredibly disappointed as the design of cards you were producing was miles ahead of the other design (sorry to that creator). I like wonderful art and it would be used more in cards in my opinion.

I will NOT be buying the released set of cards if the design is bare of any art, so I guess I will be making my own spell cards.

Oh well.

[Jennifer]

I need to get some spell cards, and I much prefer the look of these.  I think Osprey needs to make a 2nd edition, using something similar to what you've done, or buying the appropriate rights to do so.

Shame that this quality of card can't be shared nor purchased.

I'll be using the photo of your card for ideas to make my own.  I guess I'll photoshop it mashing it all together from stuff I get from google images.

[Wraith01]

I'll be making my own spell cards too!
Yours are the coolest I've seen though.

[Bizwang]

Just got into Frostgrave and created an account for the sole purpose of resurrecting this thread to share how awesome the design is.  Especially sad they're not available since it seems you can't even buy published cards currently.
