Designing a Vs. System Fantasy Card Set (featuring The Peaky Blinders)

I discuss my thought process when creating a 200-card fan-created “Battles Box” for Vs. System 2PCG and what it means to make cards that are actually good.

I love what you have done here, it's awesome. I haven't gotten to see peaky blinders and your set here makes me want to watch it.
I actualy really dislike the photographic sets, the pic's are usually just bad, and I really hate the logo's from the marvel movies on each card. The Buffy and X-Files sets don't do the logo's so they're not as bad to me.
I don't know if you played original VS System, but in original vs all plot twists and locations could be played face down in the resource row and then turned face up.
In an interview one of the designers said they didn't like how that looked aesthetically and in both the WoW tcg, and here in Vs System 2pcg they reversed it so that turned face down so the resource row would look cleaner as the game progressed. Anyway that's probably why the one plot twist in the predator set also replaces itself.
You might want to add that to your underground twists. Theoretically it could potentially make them stronger because you "could" replace into another underground twist.
Lastly, I'm curious how you got the templates and fonts so perfect. The cards look really great!
Hope you are still playing and having tons of fun with both your set, and the regular sets.

Wow! Thank you so much! Lots of good ideas here. I agree, a lot of the photo stills they're required to use are not great. The benefit of doing fantasy cards is I can choose exactly the moment that I want. As for the templates, there's a Facebook group called Vs. System Custom Cards. I grabbed them from there. You can use Magic Set Editor to whip them out, but I do it manually using Photoshop. Both have their merits and flaws. Hit me up in the VS Discord or on Facebook if you want to know more!
