Booster Pack #4

Story card mockups:

I made them in landscape orientation because it better accommodates coverart of various sizes and shapes, and because they'll take up less room vertically when stacked up in the Feature Box. Lemme know what you think!

Also, if anyone reading this has read Estee's Triptych and can suggest a card ability based on it, let me know. I want to include it but I don't have the time to read something that long and expansive at the moment.

Anyway, more cards below!

Updates:

Two stories of the same name can now co-exist in the box as long as they were played by different players (you only get one copy of a story in your Story Pile). The owner of a story may be indicated by different-coloured dice if available, or through whatever means is convenient.

Wanderer D's card has been changed to the following:

Wanderer D
Author
Site Post — When this card enters the field, you may pay 2: search your library for an Effect card with the Blog keyword and put it into your hand.
Editor — +1 Heat to the Writer's stories.
Writer — Retire this author: You may post a story by Wanderer D.

This leads us into the newest addition to the game: blogs! Blogs are a subclass of effect cards that have heat and are played into the Feature Box. They act like stories, but don't generate energy.
