Hi all, I'm excited I found this forum. It looks like it has some great resources and information.
I've been thinking about creating a game for a long time, one that would be:
* fun/replayable
* relatively quick to play (20-30 minutes)
* suitable for kids (I've got 4 sons < 10 yrs old)
* have a fantasy theme (dragons, magic)
* have the ability to level and customize your character
I've been working on my game for a couple months now, playing it with my boys, and we've been having a lot of fun! I hope to improve it with help from this forum.
One of the main things I want to figure out is how to get artwork. I haven't found an artist yet, nor do I know what their prices are or what sort of budget I need to have for art.
Also...anyone have any good name suggestions for a bow? I have a sword in the game called the Searing Sword, but my bow is called Mercy. I think there are better names to be found.
Long shot is a great suggestion! Thanks Mikey.
As far as art I need cover art for the box (I want this to look good and figure that's where I'd put most of my art budget), a logo, 8-10 cards with illustrations of weapons or enemies, lots of spell / ability icons that will go on custom 6-sided dice, and some miscellaneous stuff for the instructions.
I've found the site game-icons.net, and some of them may work out for dice face icons, but even so I would also want some spruced up color versions of them for the instruction sheet.
