For about the past year, i've been working on custom cards for this game. I'm an absloletly massive fan of this game, and of Star Wars in general, so the two fit perfectly together! I've designed so many objective sets where everything flows together perfectly because there's so many thematic effects that I want to include. I picked the Old Republic era because I'm a massive fan of that time period, there's lots of interesting characters for every faction (well, pretty close. Rebel Alliance got characters from the Republic, because the Alliance to restore the Republic and the original Republic are close enough), and because it's quite simply an awesome time period! There's so much going on and so many new things to explore.
My inspiration mainly came from the Old Republic Novels (SWTOR:annihilation for the first pack), The Old Republic MMO, Knights of the Old Republic (never played KOTOR2 sadly), and the Darth Bane Trilogy.
First off, copyright belongs to FFG and whoever else for the game, copyright for Star Wars belongs to Disney, etc. etc. I'll take this down if I'm breaking any rules I haven't found (but I think that's quite unlikely since there's a custom cards thread that's been going for 241 replies). None of these cards are official, they're not magical spoilers I found, I'm not gonna sell this for profit or anything (since that's definitely gonna cause problems with copyright). I'm just another fan of this game with (limited) graphic design skills, a fair amount of imagination, and an all-devouring hunger to design cards out of the Expanded Universe!
Originally, I designed The Old Republic to be a big box expansion, same size as any of the other ones. Then it grew a bit too much, right past the big-box size, so I'm now gonna be ambitious (and kind of stupid and suicidal), and try to design an entire cycle.
With no further ado, I present the first Force Pack of the Cycle: Darth Mechis' Legacy!
I'd absolutely love to hear your comments, questions, concerns, compliments, or any of the like!
(Note: I'm a Star Wars the Card Game player with an incomplete collection, so my balancing and OP wombo-combo eradication may not represent the entire game)
