State of the V:EKN: News from the printshop

I'd like to point out that I'd be delighted to pay more for Rares, a little more for Vamps and Uncommons, and not much for Commons. Having a graduated pricing scale just makes sense.

On the other hand, it'll be interesting to see the 60-Freak Drive March Halcyon Turbo Withdrawal deck actually hit the table.

IMHO, it would is not sensible to pay more for rares as they differ vastly in playability. Furthermore, as long as feedback is concerned, people are more concerned with particular combos, not rarity.

as has been said before in other places, the secondary market is largely irrelevant; the health of the game is paramount.

I for one, welcome our new POD overlords. the way the game plays, I think it's far better suited in the LCG format as opposed to the CCG format.

On the subject of artwork, im sure we can make it interesting when the time comes in regards to new art.

Several vekn members are solid artists. I am decidedly NOT one of those members, but have friends who are indeex excellent with art. One of them is a photographer, and stylistically he enjoys editing things in strange ways that could easily fit into the theme of most vtes artwork. Another friend of mine is a tatooist and he has become very good in coverups and corrections to other peoples horrible tattoos, and hes a horror fan, and im sure hed be atleast marfinaly interested in potential work.

The reason i bring this up is im sure some artwork may not be legally usable, and some could just use updating.

Parity shift is for example probably something most players want 50 or so of, and will be ordering it accordingly when able to do so for pod price. So, would it not be interesting to give it new art, if its not already going to need that for legal reasons anyway?
Following that thought, why not have the dt select maybe 5 submissions for said card and have it voted upon?

Just an idea.

ReverendRevolver,

What is more likely to happen is that artwork will be needed for cards whose original art or original scans are damaged or lost, or for artwork that we can't get the rights to. Otherwise, from a business perspective, money is best spent on artwork for new cards, as high-quality artwork that is budget-conscious is in short supply. Don't get me wrong - it's a good idea in principle, and I'd love to get new art for some cards. It's just going to be lower on the list of priorities and budget allocation.

I had assumed it wasnt high on the priorities list compared to the entire rest of the project.

To be honest, if i can buy enkil cogs and purges for less than a buck each, the art could be a hand turkey and a frowny face.

furthermore, I'm sure a vtes fan would gladly accept payment for their art in store credit and bragging rights to see their art in print.

Yea, i have the same problem. I would gladly have submitted tons of stuff, if i had any drawing or digital art ability in me. Theres a reason im a musician and not a cartoonist....

But i may talk to some peoplexwho were vtm fans about submissions.
