This mod aims to stay relatively balanced within vanilla while also bringing a slight horror theme with currently 8 new Jokers and a new challenge!

#

There we go

glacial acorn Jul 18, 2025, 3:54 AM

#

ok all good.

time to get spoopy

#

I sketched up something horrible

#

Animatronic Joker?

blazing terrace Jul 18, 2025, 6:27 AM

#

I'm thinking of making an Art the Clown themed joker

glacial acorn Jul 18, 2025, 1:56 PM

#

Hoping to see some classic horror stuff here too (Jason, Freddy, Alien, The Thing)

blazing terrace Jul 18, 2025, 2:04 PM

#

I’m kind of torn on whether I want to include major horror villains like Jason and Freddy

#

I started with more obscure stuff like Mandela Catalogue and kind of wanted to keep it that way, since I felt like it would be too corny otherwise

#

But there’s so many famous faces of slashers that it feels like it’d kind of be a waste

#

Like the aforementioned Art the Clown

glacial acorn Jul 18, 2025, 2:09 PM

#

Ah, I see

No biggie

blazing terrace Jul 18, 2025, 2:09 PM

#

Something easy for Jason would be something with cards adding to 13, Ace and 2 for example.

#

Since those characters are so iconic I figured the only way to really make them impactful would be to make them Legendary, but if the whole mod just has Legendary jokers, what’s the point

glacial acorn Jul 18, 2025, 2:14 PM

#

Hm you're right. That'd already be too much 😅

blazing terrace Jul 18, 2025, 2:14 PM

#

Have you played much with the mod? I’d love to hear some feedback ^^

#

Like if the current line up has any issues or if some just kinda suck lol

glacial acorn Jul 18, 2025, 2:25 PM

#

Played with it a little, but I can say the art and effects hit juuust right imo

Only problem is that finding at least one horror joker in shops/buffoon packs is pretty hard because of the card pool in the mod

blazing terrace Jul 18, 2025, 2:27 PM

#

I thought of something to alleviate that

#

Booster pack!

#

Maybe a horror themed booster for all Grinrot jokers, or maybe one specifically for any Iconic jokers I might add

glacial acorn Jul 18, 2025, 2:29 PM

#

I think the former would be real nice

sadako joker when

blazing terrace Jul 18, 2025, 3:01 PM

#

Perhaps….

blazing terrace Jul 19, 2025, 1:46 PM

#

So I didn't do much actual work on adding jokers last night, I thought of these "Fear and death" cards in the shower and wanted to test the idea a bit

#

These are some ideas I have for food jokers but idk what they would do

blazing terrace Jul 19, 2025, 3:38 PM

#

I was thinking Darkness would add Negative to a card but I’ve heard it’s overpowered

atomic dust Jul 19, 2025, 3:55 PM

#

YOOOO

#

I DIDNT KNOW ABOUT THIS

#

PEAK???

blazing terrace Jul 19, 2025, 3:56 PM

#

I like spooky stuff what can I say?

atomic dust Jul 19, 2025, 3:58 PM

#

i didn't know about this because i did an alternate joker for my mod too ^^

blazing terrace Jul 19, 2025, 3:59 PM

#

Oh?

atomic dust Jul 19, 2025, 3:59 PM

#

yours looks more grim which gives it more of a charm

blazing terrace Jul 19, 2025, 4:01 PM

#

I should probably include the actual like “Jimbo” factor in more of the cards

#

Yours looks great, I love the artstyle

atomic dust Jul 19, 2025, 4:03 PM

#

all i know that you should keep up the good work

#

i'll be keeping an eye on this

blazing terrace Jul 19, 2025, 4:03 PM

#

What’s your mod? I might have to keep an eye on it as well

#

this is like a business card

blazing terrace Jul 19, 2025, 8:03 PM

#

Trying to think of what Art might do, if I end up doing Repose cards, it could maybe be related to that…

#

Or since he’s an absolute murder hobo demon clown he likes destroying played cards but has a great bonus? Sounds a bit too much like Hadal Zone from Grab Bag though

#

Haha do ArtBox compat and he gains xyz when an Art Card is used
