Designers' Diary entry for May 2014

vekn.net/designers-diary/268-designers-diary-entry-for-may

Hey, everyone!

We're just about to start Round Three of playtest. Right now we're doing the final sign-off on the cards and then the pdf files will be sent to the playtesters.

The still-as-yet-unnamed set is still slated to have 70 cards (45 crypt, 25 library) and we're well ahead of an Q3/EC release date.

Artwork is progressing apace, with 53 cards sent to artists for artwork. We currently have 31 completed pieces and 7 concept sketches submitted. We're also very excited to have added several new artists, including Laia López and Alejandro F. Giraldo.

Over the coming weeks and months, we'll talk more about what concepts to expect from the new set, as well as more art previews. Speaking of which, here are a couple of previews from Laia López and Alejandro F. Giraldo:

No name yet, but are there ideas for an expansion symbol?

Not yet, because expansion symbols are usually related to the name of the set, and this might be the case here as well.

Also excited. Dig the art. Will these artists be selling prints @ origins?(would be neat)

The two artists previewed in this month's diary entry won't be at Origins. However, I do not know about Mark Kelly (the artist previewed in March).
