Custom Chase Cards

[lime tapir]

I'm looking for feedback on some custom chase cards for a Dark Modern setting

[twin valve]

The design in very nice.

Not sure if the headers can be bigger/bolded and the plain body text doesn't seem to match the rest of the design, maybe just needs a serif font

[lime tapir]

The card text was as simple as possible but if folks don't like the two styles together, I'm open to some ideas

Shows the elements of the cards

[twin valve]

The design is great! Just commenting on a more unified typology

[lime tapir]

I understand, I'm trying to figure out what to change it to

[quick musk]

Speaking of custom chase cards, are you using the quick chase module and intending to update the cards? Because I was wondering about that as well. I have a deadlands game and I'm about to start a necessary evil game and was wondering if I could use the chase module to do that. The problem being the cards are all wrong.

Changing the card art is easy but I was wondering about how to register different chase types and associate cards to them. In deadlands its on foot, on horseback and on a train. In breakout I'd probably want like foot/ground vehicle/air vehicle or maybe environment based instead.

[twin valve]

you can update the cards and it will work fine. The chase module has a function to swap out train/horseback/foot cards so you could probably use that just know for you horse is ground vehicle and train is air or whatever

[quick musk]

Sure, I see it can swap it, but how does it know which cards are foot/horseback/train?

[twin valve]

It swaps out the cards by suit

[quick musk]

sure, there are 3 king of clubs, one for foot ,one for horse, one for train. How does the chase deck controls set the card in the alternate pile to be associated with one of those 3

[twin valve]

there's a pile of alternate cards in the compendium and depending on what you choose it changes them out

[quick musk]

Or do I just swap the art rather than add cards

Would renaming the card break its swapping

[twin valve]

hmm, it just uses an array of comepndium IDs

so swaping and using different text could be okay

[quick musk]

ok but adding a card wouldn't be possible

for instance 5 of hearts only has 2 cards

so if I wanted to add a 3rd option that wouldn't work

I can only advise you how to modify what's there if you want to build it out further that will require changing the code

[quick musk]

Oh I could just customize the module at that point. Gotcha

[twin valve]

yes, or just make the function as a macro for yourself

[quick musk]

yeah that gets messy quick lol because since I do have a deadlands game that would mean duplicating the module to customize it

[twin valve]

rather than edit module code

[quick musk]

oh that would be better for sure

[twin valve]

Take the static async swapCards() function and make it into a macro

edit the swaps to your liking and card locations etc

[quick musk]

thanks for the help

[twin valve]

oh, you probably know this but rename your macro function something else

since you wouldn't want to swapCards() functions

[lime tapir]

Since I'm already doing custom cards, I plan on making a deck for foot, a deck for riding and a deck for driving. No need for a swap card feature

[twin valve]

that works too

and requires no code

[lime tapir]

changed the card text font and added a drop shadow on the title

[random oak]

What font did you go with?

[lime tapir]

Priori Serif

[random oak]

Nice. I've always liked that one. We use it on our site, I think.

great art. Where is it from?

[lime tapir]

I'm making it from heavily edited midjourney output
