Skip the semantics talk of Rules of Play! Go the chapter that sounds to be most useful to you. If you're confused by some terminology, then go look it up in the book. You don't have to read it all first.

Loving the progress. Still reading the rest of the content you wrote!

It's funny that now that we've solved the glaring mistakes, it shows which previously subtle problems are now also glaring mistakes. So it's a slow, iterative process. Tweak, test, tweak, test. I have some friends coming over on Thursday and I'm sure this is the best revision yet, so we'll see how it goes

I'd be happy to play test if you get to a point where you'd like that. I have a group of friends I play magic with who would probably think this was awesome. If not, I'll wait until release

Couldn't you have given the Ranger big boobs?

Mana is a game with drinking, for 2-6 players. After struggling between a "Drinking Game" and a "Game with Drinking", I've decided it's better to go down this path. It might reach less people, but it will be much more interesting designing a game with a little bit more depth.
in the end, it will be the players choice which one they'll call it. right?

I like your artwork. you've got nice style.

It's not the words, each one has a completely different design and feel. A drinking game is fast, loud, and shallow. A game with drinking is longer, more difficult and deeper. They also target different groups of people.

This is turning out to be even more kickass than I imagined. Who needs Magic the Gathering when you have MANA: NECTAR OF THE GODS?

Other than a few strange points (tiger teeth, lower body of ranger, summoner's head) the art looks great. I would like to see how the 'good' characters turn out as well.

whats wrong with the summoners head?

He looks like an alien to me, no hair/helmet, just a weird head. I'm not sure if that is what you are going for, but I find it a bit strange.

That other one is a space marine/knight angel? Now that is an unusual blend. He still has a dark face which makes question his 'goodness', but the eyes make that sort of cool. Do you plan on fixing up the helmet to match the rest, or is that just light obscuring it (the lack of definition to the bottom part)?
I can already see the ending

I will eventually go over and do more detail on all the cards when they are put together and in the final stage. The helmet on the summoner/paladin will be fixed up then.

Cards won't need detail.
I think the art elsewhere will.
You two are awesome.
A build is not a guess, an estimation or a hunch, a feeling, or a foolish intuition. A build is a dependable, unwavering, unarguably accurate, portrayer of your ambition.

Great to see this is happening! I would've offered to contribute artwork, but around the time of the original post I was mad busy with thesis work coag's got a good style for a fantasy theme, going great :D
