My current WIP uses Heron's card monsters from Cardium. (I guess you'd call them Cardians?)
I had a thought the other day of doing tarot cards so I jumped onto wikipedia when I thought of it again and lo and behold there were all the copyright/royalty free public domain pictures I needed so...
I've got a bit of dat editing still to do but preliminary tests are looking surprisingly well considering the major and minor arcana combined adds 78 'humans' into the monster mix. Yeah, seventy-eight... (The major arcana consists of 22 cards and the minor arcana has four suits of 14 cards each giving a total of 56!)
I'm thinking that I should release the major arcana as a mod that covers both realms and the minor arcana as two seperate downloads (since the file sizes would be similar that way and about as big as I can dependably upload...). Thoughts???
Minimum would be three mods but it will probably end up four... Dialup tests my patience almost as much as my children do!
I didn't look but I'm hoping I'm the first one to do a tarot mod. It would be kind of lame to find out that it's already been done!
A bit more testing and number twisting but hopefully I will have something available this weekend. (I'll post some screenshots when I release the mods!)
So it will be one mod in three or four downloads. Probably four. And there will be some info/pics included with this mod too.
Um... yeah, it's in progress anyways...

I really like this one too wink.gif

EDIT: Oh yeah, here's a screenshot so you can see what the cards are going to look like... All the 'backs' are the same, the 'faces' are all different... The size is 1.5 on all the cards (instead of 1 or 2 in the Cardium mod) so you can see the detail in the cards a little bit better...

Out of curiosity even though it may be too early, how are you grouping the stats of each card? Like in the Minor Arcana with Coins/Diamonds, Wands/Clubs, Cups/Hearts, and Swords/Spades would Coins/Diamonds have lots of experience up for grabs but lots of Resistance to most attacks. Would Wands/Clubs be primarily magic users? Cups/Hearts heal themselves a lot (I forgot, can monsters heal themselves? I haven't played in months)? Finally, would Swords/Spades have lots of melee attacking?
On top of that...as you ascend the suits from Ace to King would they get better or would the whole suit just have the same stats with maybe the King or royal family being better?

Last Point:
Are the 22 different Major Arcana cards going to have different attributes...

lots to consider early on but curiosity killed the cat tongue.gif

well being that it been 4 months since he started this topic and has never said a thing since i have a feeling the mod died or is in the completed mods section

Yep, this mod was finished with the major arcana cardians only. D/L link is in my sig. Too many cards spawned when I tested all of them together, even with high rarity settings... (all cardians stats are the same in answer to previous question up there...)

Aright thanks a bunch...I think I'll try out some of your other mods as well.
