Character Business Cards by Jason 7au

March 25th, 2006 1:48 AM

INSTRUCTIONS: Make business cards for your character. If you like, you may hand them out when doing tasks for the game. You may want to make a calling (or "visiting") card instead:
The essential convention was that one person would not expect to see another person in their own home ... without first leaving their visiting card with the person at their home. Upon leaving the card, they would not expect to be admitted at first, but might receive a card at their own home in response. This would serve as a signal that a personal visit and meeting at home would not be unwelcome. On the other hand, if no card was forthcoming in return, or if a card was sent in an envelope, a personal visit was thereby discouraged.

Dropped off my design last night at Kinko's on Van Ness (it's 24 hours, but at night they're not particularly thorough in their assistance, or at least this one guy wasn't), just got back from picking them up and cutting them tonight. I got the graphics off the internet and did the editing in Photoshop. Saving the print-ready file as a PDF apparently turned the flourishy wingding in the center of the info side into a bold letter m. Pity, but I guess I can tell people who ask me what the m is for or stands for that they should go to sf0.org and look it up. Or, perhaps it could become part of a larger puzzle only solvable by collecting several characters' cards?

If I were to put any finishing touches on these, it'd be spraying them with acryllic for that playing card verisimilitude.

Awesome!

Those look freaking great. There's something about "painting" white paper another color to hide the fact that it's white that I enjoy. It's a pitty the wingding didn't come out right. I hope you plan on keeping them in a play card box, that'll only add to the coolness.

Thanks!

The playing card box is a bitchen idea, but stymied by the fact that these are bigger than regular playing cards. I didn't measure actual playing cards, plus I didn't want to make them so small that the text on the back became squished or illegible.

Wau!

Man those are nice. Perhaps you could carry them around in a rubberband or in a fold-up cribbage board?

The thing about this deck

See, if you played poker with this deck, everyone would win. I rather like that.

Maaaaaaaan....

I think I'm going to have to redo these. The reset led me to defect from the red equals sign.
