MG Conflict Cards

[Rafe]

I used Magic Set Editor 2 to make some conflict cards for MG. Check 'em out and download it if you think you can use it. You'll probably need to print ~4 copies of this sheet to have enough decks for 3 or 4 teams, assuming 3 of each action (12 cards per team deck).

Conflict cards (http://www.mediafire.com/imageview.php?quickkey=kziwengucwt&thumb=4)

Here's a sample of what the Attack card looks like. Please let me know if I messed up any of the info on the cards. (I double-checked 'em, but hey... mistakes happen.) Actual card size is baseball card size (about 3"x5").

Cool! This will help a lot with new players :D

Thanks.

[palanolho]

I think all the MG cards should be on the same thread so .. there goes my 2 cents on the matter.

I made this ones using some images from the comic. Since they are for personal use .. hoppe no one minds :S

Well done, Pala! Those are fantastic!

Those are quality, nice one.

To wit, I've used Aramis's conflict cards (http://aramis.hostman.us/mg/index.html) - the ones with the wee pouch - quite successfully.

So have I!

[Nytmare]

Ah, dangit, I had just started on a set too.

http://www.pmw.org/nytmare/mg/attackcard.jpg

I don't know how I missed this thread earlier.

[palanolho]

i like tha ones too :D

Although i think i would put only the references for the corresponding action and not the complete table (my opinion).

Post the complete set when you finish it :)

[Nytmare]

Yeah I've been actually mulling over that exact thing. The layout however was currently balanced around the table, so I posted that version.

I like these a lot, Palanolho... But you should check the attack/feint relationship on both cards, as well as the feint vs maneuver on the feint card. Feint/Maneuver is just wrond, and unless you're wording the attack vs. feint in some way that it makes sense you you, I'd say that one was wrong as well.

I like them, though, and a small edit will make them work for me. If I get around to it soon, I'll let you know!

[palanolho]

can you help me? im not seeing the problem on the actions relationship :S

[John Anderson]

Hi all,
Looking at the book again, the cards should read...

Attack
vs Attack...Independent Test
vs Defend...Versus Test
vs Feint...Independent Test
vs Maneuver...Versus Test

Defend
vs Attack...Versus Test
vs Defend...Independent Test
vs Feint...No Test
vs Maneuver...Versus Test

Feint
vs Attack...No Test
vs Defend...Independent Test / Defender No Test
vs Feint...Versus Test
vs Maneuver...Independent Test vs Ob0

Maneuver
vs Attack...Versus Test
vs Defend...Versus Test
vs Feint...Independent Test
vs Maneuver...Independent Test
(MOS 1 Impede / MOS 2 Gain Position / MOS 3 Disarm)

I think that's right.

John

(p.s. palanolho, I've sent a couple of PMs to you but I'm not sure if you've read them...)

[palanolho]

hmm i understand now, thanks :)

i just have one question: "Independent Test vs Ob0"
- this means that i have to roll and must get ZERO sucesses?

[John Anderson]

..."Independent Test vs Ob0"
- this means that i have to roll and must get ZERO sucesses?

It just means that any successes gained are counted as the Margin of Success. 3 successes = (3-0) = MOS 3 which can be used to disarm your opponent.

John

[palanolho]

so, its exacly the same as an Independent test, right ?

[Rafe]

This ought to be split into a new thread above, but...

Not exactly. Defend vs Defend means both teams make Independent tests. However, both of those are at Ob 3, add margin of success to your disposition. 3 successes means nothing added to your disposition.

[palanolho]

ok .. i must read the conflict actions again. thanks :)

[palanolho]

Just to inform that i made the error fixes you guys suggested.

I didnt place the manuver option (disarm, imped, gain advantage) welll because there was no spice on the card :\

The file is updated

Thanks

Hiya

Continuing the tradition of using a chopping board to showcase Mouse Guard cards, check out these badboys that I made. Close up pictures of the cards (with corrections) can be found here (http://plainvanilla.typepad.com/soap/2009/09/conflict-condition-cards-for-mouse-guard.html).

The conkers are used for checks: when a player earns a check, they grab a conker. Autumn rocks for picking up free Mouse Guard tonk.

Greetings, great cards you have.

Congratulations! :D

Those look awesome! When released I will definitely be downloading and using them in my game. Once again looks great! Good job.

[eruditus]

They look great. Hey, on the site that's my games card backings! :)

[Twice Born]

When is someone gonna let you release those babies?!?

[eruditus]

I wish I knew. The last I heard it was a contractual issue. Waiting for my turn.

[Scarecrow]

HA! I finally get permission to post my cards and Indy Pete has beaten me to it.

Ah well, here's mine anyway:

[Indy Pete]

HA! I finally get permission to post my cards and Indy Pete has beaten me to it.
Scarecrow, I've been grumbling to myself all week stuff like "gah! If only I'd waited one more week then I could've just downloaded those badboys" :) I only did the ones I did because I had a convention deadline coming up and I really wanted to use your cards. Your cards are way more polished then mine, plus you have tokens for Fate and Persona points. Awesome.

One of the comments that came up after I'd used the cards for the first time was that if you're gonna bust out cards then cards for the weapons summarising their bonuses/penalities and special rules would be nice. Seeing as the weapon list in Mouse Guard is a bounded set, I'm good to whip up some weapon cards. Would anyone else want these?

Anyways, cheers for your cards! Cheerio
Pete

[Twice Born]

Sure, I'd go with weapon cards.

[-Ice]

I would! Maybe you could do the layouts and what-not and Crow can do the art and background? And maybe an image/drawing of the weapon... I'm all for more eye candy!

[Indy Pete]

Cool.

How about these as a first effort then? Please do feel free to unleash your withering critique, since it's better to know that they're poo sooner rather than later :)

[Twice Born]

That's awesome pete.

One thing I'm concerned about is continuity with the text and size of the card. I have ScareCrows right now, and they're all a certain size when you print them out. Is there an easy way to get yours the same size as his? And his test is a special fantasy type text.

Just some of my thoughts. You guys are awesome for doing these though.

[-Ice]

Awesomeness upon awesomeness. I never thought mice with spears/swords/halberds would be cute and cool enough to be awesome.

I would vote that the weapons cards be the same as ScareCrow's cards, if nothing but for uniformity. Also maybe the white box can be eliminated or enlarged for a bigger "text area" for those of us with glasses or with young 'uns.

That makes sense. I'll PM Scarecrow and point him here. Reworking the card sources that I mocked up is easy enough, but he might be quicker just doing them himself from scratch. I'll update this thread again when things are in motion.

Cheers
Pete

[Scarecrow]

Hey guys,

Equipment cards are something I toyed with for a while but as my group gave Mouse Guard a general thumbs down (I play with philistines) I never got round to seriously thinking about them :(

I'm afraid I've got far too much on my plate at the moment to do them myself, especially as I'm unlikely to ever use them. However I can send Indy Pete the template PSD and the fonts if he wants to make them himself. If you want to use David's art on the cards though, you might want to make sure he's okay with it. He generously gave his permission for the conflict and condition cards, and whilst it seems likely that that would extend to additions to the set, it might be polite not to assume it.

Crow

[Indy Pete]

Hi Crow

I'm good to whip up some equipment cards if you'll send me the PSDs/fonts that you already have. Design is not my forte, but manipulating stuff that other folks with an eye for design have already done is within my lack of talent :)

I'll post 'em on here in a lo-fi version like I did with the previous mockup, so that folks can critique/correct them. Then I'll ping Luke and David to make sure it is all kosher and append the cards to the existing PDF.

Crow, are you cool if I stick your cards PDF up on the Burning Wheel wiki? It'll save on your bandwidth and make it easier for folks to find 'em.

EDIT: my email address is indi.pete@googlemail.com (mailto:indi.pete@googlemail.com)

Cheers
Pete

[Indy Pete]

Scarecrow has sent through the templates - cheers! - so here's the weapon card from before done in the Scarecrow style.

Again, please do let loose with any criticism, since it's better to know that the cards are not right sooner rather than later. Poor use of white space, text too big, text too cramped, use another border style, image should be wider, or whatever, just let rip :)

[Rafe]

Those are made of pure awesome, Crow! Great idea to whip up weapon cards, Pete. Yoink!

[Twice Born]

Yeah, thanks for doing this guys. You're amazing. I have no complaints with the Halberd card Pete. It looks perfect to me.

[Scarecrow]

Very nice.

Pete, if you can put the cards up on the wiki then, please by all means do so.
I promised David that, hosting them on my site, I didn't benefit either from advertising or increased bandwidth, essentially I don't profit from the cards either directly or indirectly. He said that as long as that was the case he was happy for me to post the cards. He asked that I link to them in the forum here too, which was entirely the plan anyway :)
I trust that by posting them on the wiki, these conditions still apply. I guess posting them on the wiki is promotion for Burning Wheel and Mouse Guard anyways, so, if anyone benefits at all it's Luke and David.

Crow

[Twice Born]

Just throwing some wild crazy ideas out there, but argument weapons would be cool as well.

Animal cards would be cool, but there's not enough pictures. You know what would be really cool? If they made a huge stack of cards with the different characters and animals and maybe even different obstacles and what not and David did art for each one. That would be amazing, but it will never happen. I know I'm going a bit over board, but it would be kinda fun as a gm to have a stack of WWAM obstacles and to rummage through and say "aha! fallen log! or angry crow! or icy rain! and have different obstacle numbers for various scenarios involving that obstacle. It's to much work for us, but it would be cool to have them if they were made in bulk and sold. What do you guys think? Am I crazy? One problem I see is that it might end up stumping the creativity if everything's spelled out for you on a card.

[palanolho]

Great job as allways :)

but this is funny .. im already imagening the next game from Luke and David ...


"Mouse Guard: The Card Game"


:P

cheers!

[Indy Pete]

Hi

I've mocked up the rest of the proposed weapon cards. Find below thumbnails of the weapon cards, front and back, for peer review. Clicking on the thumbnails will take you to much larger - though still not decent print quality sized - mockup images. (~800k) (I'll remove these images in a week or so.)

Please unleash your pettifoggery and pedantry, no nitpick is too small. Catching typos and design issues upfront is good. I don't hugely dig the Knife image myself, but I couldn't find a better one. If folks want, I can also change the spelling of Manoeuver to Maneuver for consistency with the Mouse Guard text. If ya'll okay them then I will polish them up and append the correctly sized weapon images to Scarecrows's existing PDF.

Cheerio
Pete

[Roar Nesheim]

First of I must say that these cards looks great, having conflict cards, tokens and weapon cards in a game like mouse guard is realy nice. So over to some small nitpick from my side atleast :D
One thing that I would like since I dont know how to edit PDF files is that the images is centered on the page so that it is posible to do a front and back printing on the same page since I use some sort of plastic paper to print on.

Edit: the picture on page 25 in the rulebook might also be used as a knife image,

For my part atleast I wouldent mind having the manoeuver changed to maneuver in consistancy with the book, but thats just me, maby :D.

If you need hosting space i got some, only 500MB but it should be enoughf to hold atleast some PDF :D

And once again, this is great work and i realy appriciate it :D

[Scarecrow]

They look great! Why not use different borders for variety?
Actually, are you going to do cards for non-combat conflicts such as 'Evidence' or 'Provisions' etc. In which case use a different border based on the 'weapon' type.

Crow

Crow

I think that the same type of cards should have the same overall design so that you can spot a type of card without actually reading it.

To the creators of the different cards and tokens of many different types. I love this stuff. Dignitas for you.

[Twice Born]

First of all great cards. If they were printed just that way they'd be fine with me.

I hope you still are going to print them like Scarecrows because I like consistancy and all mine are already printed that way.

Also, I think it would be great to do some Arguement/Nagotiation/Speech and Chase weapon cards. But that's a lot of work so it's up to you. They would be most helpful though.

I'm struggleing between haveing a picute of all the characters on every card or haveing more unique interesting pictures. Like the huge picture of the black axe for the axe, or one picture in the RPG book of these armory swords leaning on each other. I like conformity, but more random pictures might make the cards more interesting, like sadie holding her knife with her tail while fighting the crab. Pictures with the weapons in use would be a lot more fun. Also, sadie useing her sling against the owl which can be found on the website. I just think it would be cooler if the pictures were more unique instead of the main characters. I mean, we practically have all those pictures memorized.

Well there's my nit pick. :)

[Indy Pete]

Thanks for the feedback :)


For my part atleast I wouldent mind having the manoeuver changed to maneuver in consistancy with the book, but thats just me.
Yeah, I've been thinking about that. Folks might already have printed the existing cards out, laminated them, and so forth. So to preserve their investment I'm going to leave the spelling as Scarecrow originally did it.


I hope you still are going to print them like Scarecrows because I like consistancy and all mine are already printed that way.
Absolutely.


Also, I think it would be great to do some Arguement/Nagotiation/Speech and Chase weapon cards. But that's a lot of work so it's up to you. They would be most helpful though.
Whew. I'm unlikely to do those because that'd be a lot of work and, in my opinion, those are weapons best played with stirring narration. I'll happily pass on the templates - with Scarecrow's permission - to anyone that'd like to take up that baton :)


(Thoughts about the images.)
I hear you. I don't want to use any images that aren't from the RPG though, which is why I'm not too kosher about the image of Sadie on the Knife card, seeing as I lifted it from #2 of the comics. I'll replace that image with one from the RPG. I did think about using the Black Axe as you suggest, but the consistency of the images that David Petersen did for most of the weapons pushed me towards using the images I did.

I'll be ''doing'' the cards tomorrow night since I've got a deadline for using them at a con (http://rpgfurnace.com/games/) this weekend. I'll post the updated PDF in a couple of days time, assuming that Luke is cool with the additions.

Cheers

I might create some cards if I miss them during play so I'd be happy to have the templates if it's OK with you and Scarecrow. I'm not promising doing anything but if I miss some kind of cards I might create them. If I do, I will of course share them with all of you.

[-Ice]

My nitpick is that these cards are simply just too awesome. Could you maybe tone the awesomeness down a bit? I'm concerned my son would run around the house screaming and flailing his arms due to awesomeness overdose. Thank you!

On a more serious note: I would suggest having two or MORE pictures of the weapon. That way, we have more variety and can pick what we want. Or more simply put, the art is just awesome and more in this case is simply better.

Has anyone noticed we're using the word "awesome" a lot?

Indy Pete, when can we expect a "final product"? I'm playing with my wife and son this weekend (Saturday) and it would be great to have it by then.

[Indy Pete]

Indy Pete, when can we expect a "final product"? I'm playing with my wife and son this weekend (Saturday) and it would be great to have it by then.
They've been baked and ready to eat for a couple of weeks now.

The cards use artwork by David (Petersen), text by Luke, and are based on templates kindly shared with me by Wayne (Scarecrow). I thought I'd better get their final "yep, go for it" permission before posting a link to the PDF.

I think they'll all be cool with it since I only added a few weapon cards to something they'd all said was cool previously. So I guess I could post the link to the updated PDF now in anticipation of their permission. Mmm, possibly a bit cheeky. What do you folks think?

Cheerio
Pete

[-Ice]

Yep, go for it! :D

[Twice Born]

Post it already, it's not like they haven't given you permission to make cards already. I'm really dying for a sling, sword, and knife.

[Indy Pete]

The Mouse Guard cards can be downloaded from here (http://plainvanilla.typepad.com/soap/mouse-guard-cards.html).

I created a landing page to make explicit the fact that Scarecrow created some lovely cards - cheers dude! - and to thank Luke and David for their cool game and kind permission - more cheers dudes!

Cheerio
Pete

[Court Jester]

This seems to be the place to hang any Mouse Guard related pageantry so I thought I'd show y'all what I have been tinkering with for my own games.

I guess some people won't be interested in the idea of turning the conflict mechanics into what is appears to be small board game but I started with the cards and it just spiraled from there...

These are still a work in progress as there is loads to cover...

[Scarecrow]

WOAH! That's just gorgeous! Nice work!

Crow

[illern]

Really good-looking. Maybe it's a little over the top for me but had I the possibility I would give it a try.

[palanolho]

words are nothing so...

I give a 10/10 :D

[John Anderson]

Very impressive. I like. Being cheeky, but any chance of getting them as PDFs to try out?
John

[Indy Pete]

That is so Very Cool.

I don't think it makes it "like a boardgame" at all. That's just nice shiny design that complements a process that's already there.

Yes, I second John's request for a PDF download :) I'd love to use those in my games. The conflict board is such a nice touch.

As regards the typo, "Interations" -> "Interactions".

Cheers
Pete

[Rafe]

That's fantastic, and would really help with kids. Anything tactile/visible will give you a few more precious seconds of their attention. ;)

I will echo John: Is there a PDF for the mat, at least? I would totally create 2 of those (or 3 or 4, in case of multiple teams). The cards I'd also love, just to keep the same consistency.

Oh, one question: How do the cards with the characters work; what's on the reverse? Actions?

[-Ice]

Yeah, my son loves the cards and the disposition counters. Any thing more would send him around the house running with glee. I'm asking for a PDF as well!

[Court Jester]

Thanks for the kind words guys. I am still workiing on the set but should hopefully have it all ready soon enough. If the powers that be don't mind me making the pdf available then I have no problem doing so.

As for the character cards... Each player gets 3 so when the action cards are placed they can place the acting character with it. All the cards will have the same back and are sized to fit CCG styled card protectors.

I'll also try and make the pdf double sided with apropriot bleeds so you can cut out a card and have the front and back all ready.

[-Ice]

Ah, yes, don't forget the bleeds! That'll make cutting that much more easier! I cut with a blade (not scissors), so...

[Z-Dog]

Sweeeeeet. Nice work!

[John Anderson]

...All the cards will have the same back and are sized to fit CCG styled card protectors.

EXCELLENT work by all! These really add to the game and help folks keep track of things superbly! Looking forward to your work there Jester looks awesome!

[Flint]

Looks great. Are you finished with the mat and everything? Will there be a PDF? =)

[Court Jester]

Right, so I have just about got the basics down...

http://www.thecourtjestersstudio.com/mouseguard/cards.jpg

Card Set 1 - Conditions, Weapons, Armour, Fate & Persona (www.thecourtjestersstudio.com/mouseguard/cards1.pdf)
Card Set 2 - Conflict Types, Dice Mechanics & Nature (www.thecourtjestersstudio.com/mouseguard/cards2.pdf)
Conflict Board (www.thecourtjestersstudio.com/mouseguard/board.pdf)

There are still a few bits and bobs I'd like to sort out but this should be the bulk of the work.

[Indy Pete]

Very cool.

I'm running multiple slots of Mouse Guard at the Conception convention (http://www.conceptionuk.org/) in two weeks time. I'll be sure to use your cards there since they look so polished. Thanks for taking the time to make these.

You might also like to create a permanent "landing page" on your website so that I can send folks a direct link straight there when they ask "Wow, these cards are so cool! Where do we get them?" :)

[Court Jester]

And my website has now been updated. 8)

www.thecourtjestersstudio.com

[Indy Pete]

Yeah, awesome CJ.

I've twittered and blogged the link to your cards already. I've also posted a link on RPG Geek (http://rpg.geekdo.com/article/4503787) which should drive traffic to you. I hotlinked to the images on your website. If that's not cool, just lemme know and I'll edit the hotlinks away.

I'll be using these at the Conception convention in a few weeks, so I'll have some "action shots" to post soon enough.

Cheers

Hotlinks are not a problem, use whatever you want to. I look forward to the action shots, I should be printing out my own sets this week and if lucky get gaming with them on Friday (although yet again there might no be a game... nearly 5 weeks now... >_>)

Thanks for spreading the word. 8)

[illern]

I also twittered about this whole thread since there are a lot of good stuff here and sooner or later the cards we use will come up in my blogging too. For the moment we're mostly using Indy Pete's cards.

[Court Jester]

Well it had to happen at some point, I have started work on a character sheet to go with the cards. At the moment it will be double sided A5 although I have only worked up the first page so far (it took longer than expected. I have also put together a list of changes for the cards (suggestions like adding the action effects to the action cards etc). I also want to do a pdf of character portrait cards with form fillable details for name and rank.... Too... Many... Plans...

http://www.thecourtjestersstudio.com/mouseguard/charactersheet.jpg

[vargr1]

Well it had to happen at some point, I have started work on a character sheet to go with the cards.]

Wow - this is beautiful, just like the cards are. Love 'em.

However, I think having a version of this sheet that was 8inx8in - the same size as the MG books - would be just awesome.

[illern]

Can't judge the details yet but dignitas to you for doing a A5 sheet. The usual sheets are really nice on A4 but when you get hold of the rules maybe the saved space on the table is worth some. If i was to wish something it would be a PDF with changeable text boxes so you can change it digitally and keep record digitally. Our players usually change with pens until it get too messy and our GMs keep a digital record that's updated every meeting. When the players need he/she prints a new updated sheet. I guess a fillable PDF also would be very useful for the ones playing over Internet.

It really looks nice, keep it going.

I has been starting to think of summing up our experiences so far in a blog post but with all this fan art I think I has to do one post on the actual playing and one on props :-)

This looks great can't wait to see what the rest will look like.

I have started work on a character sheet to go with the cards.

Lovely sheet, can't wait to see the finished item.

Well hot damn. This thread got a heck of a lot prettier since I last wandered through. Spectacular work, guys.

Well it had to happen at some point, I have started work on a character sheet to go with the cards. At the moment it will be double sided A5 although I have only worked up the first page so far (it took longer than expected. I have also put together a list of changes for the cards (suggestions like adding the action effects to the action cards etc). I also want to do a pdf of character portrait cards with form fillable details for name and rank.... Too... Many... Plans...

Sorry - have to ask: how's the character sheet comming along?! (c8=

I've got a group of 5 people I'll be gm'ing MG for within a couple weeks (they already made characters) - it'd be awesome to be able to use this sheet!

(of course, can't mention your character sheet without offering suggestions... a couple things I miss on the standard char sheet:

* no line for character concept... perhaps one of the most important pieces of roleplaying info, and the very first step in Recruitment... should have a space next to or under Name for a short concept summary

* no space for concept summary descriptions of Parents, Senior Artisan, Mentor and Friend and Enemy... they should each have a single line/space for a concept summary also

* finally a space just for notes; maybe a small area for trait history (from winter sessions, helps to recall how your character has changed over time)

* and, it looks like you're probably doing this: it would be nice to not have so much rules info, and scripting slots on the sheet like how the standard sheet does - except maybe the one-line notes for Conditions (i.e. Hungry/Thirsty '-1 to disposition on any conflict', is probably a good idea

* upthread someone suggested sizing the sheets the same dimensions of the book... that does sound like a cool idea... would make storing the characters easy too! the GM can just slide them under the back cover of the book!)


The preview/concept of that sheet is looking beautiful though, can't wait to see it completed!


Cheers

Court Jester I second corey_s question. I absolutely love your spin on the character sheet and I very much look forward to seeing a finished product.

The stats section of that sheet reminds me of the health charts on the cards for Privateer Press' Hordes.

EDIT: I plan to either print these on good, thick paper or have them proffessionally made. If I choose the former, what is the best kind of paper to print on? For the latter, who should I go to in order to have them printed? Court Jester's cards have the backs on the same page, which means I won't be able to print on the opposite side of the paper to put the backs on, so chances are I will get them done by someone else.

Corey_s' cards have the backs on the same page, [...]

They're Court Jester's creation.

Whoops...

Didn't pay attention to the quote, apparently.

Hi guys,

Thanks for he kind words, sadly I'm not going to get any time to work on the character sheet within the next two weeks due to wonderful real life issues but I will finish the sheet at some point soon. It will be deigned to be double sided but I do like the idea of a square character sheet...

As for the cards, for my group one of my friends was able to get them professionally printed on really good quality paper stock. We then cut them out and folded them over a CCG card and put them in a clear CCG sleeve. Because the fold is at the top of the MG card you can't see the CCG card underneath and it all looks quite swell.
