About this image

First card. It\'ll look a lot less bright in-game, don\'t worry, but it\'ll be awhile before they are finished. Might release a beta once, say, 10-15 cards have been made. And, unless you\'re good at scripting and wanna help, these will not be playable. Just nice decorations across Skyrim and Solstheim (it won\'t be dependent on dragonborn though, don\'t worry)

There will be special cards for certain locations that don\'t have to do with the actual card game. Such as the College of Winterhold, a few dwemer cards for the ruins including Blackreach, some special daedric lord cards that would have glow-mapping, etc.

So, light level aside, please give me your thoughts!

    @LordBurnch, precisely! They'll also be distributed through some of the bandit dens as well. Someone here on the nexus told me that some bandits make mention of a card game, and I could imagine them playing a dunmer game that came from someplace as cut throat as Vvardenfell after the eruptions of Red Mountain early in the 4th Era.

    @Wolfsangeleyes, I've never messed with animations or poses or anything like that, sadly. But, perhaps, if I can find someone who can script it'd be possible to make some poses and such along the lines of someone picking up bread or reading a book or grabbing a drink (so that they could do it while sitting as well) but that would also have to modify a lot of vanilla npc's as well as npc's from Dragonborn.

    Aside from that, they're really only meant for eye-candy. Nice to look at, fun to collect. As I mentioned there will be special cards so who knows? Maybe picking THOSE up will reward you with something. Or, more realistically, I would like to add a vendor who buys rare cards, and will sell normal cards, so maybe there will be some special trade-ins. I'll do my best to make it so that every style of gameplay could be benefited by finding these cards if that's the case.

      I can imagine how difficult the scripting would be, but i'd settle for the eye candy and definitely would want them in Breezehome and Proudspire.
      And i would expect to see them in inns. To me that would make sense. It would add to immersion.
      The vendor idea sounds nice as well. Good luck with your endeavour.

    I like them. These would give the new gniss corner club so much more life.

    This looks very nice and lore-friendly as well. If and when you collect these cards, do you get an achievement award or a spell? Can these cards be placed in our player home to make it actually look more like a home that people live in? By that i mean, it would be nice if i could place them on the table that Lydia always sits next to. Gives her something ''to do'' instead of just eat bread all the time.
    I understand they are not playable but at least it will give the appearance.
