#deck-building

@datdejvtho-blog you might want to check out Parselings!

This is a game that uses a deck of cards for each player, and constructing your deck tells us something about your character's health and abilities. The only person that uses dice is the GM; everything the players do is resolved by their deck.

Substance-wise, you're playing a parasite-human hybrid, struggling to find a place in a world that seeks to reduce them to tropes or generalizations. There's a lot of themes around langauge and the power that words have over our reality.

Hey all!  It’s awesome to be back on Tumblr, and awesome to finally have a place to congregate most, if not all, information about my game. I’m excited to share updates and art as I move into development, and hope to have a more regular posting schedule for you all. 

That being said, what exactly is “Four Suits?”

“Four Suits” has been a passion project of mine since middle school. It has been through many differing iterations, starting out as a graphic novel, then getting turned into a young-adult book series, and now is being developed as a deck-building RPG. This story and these characters have grown with me, and I’m very excited to introduce you all to the world of Decadia and the cast of “Four Suits.” “Four Suits” follows the story of Aric Rydell, who is suddenly (and quite violently) thrown into a world of magic, monsters, and mystery, as he’s inducted into a fabled group known as the “Guardians.” The Guardians are working to investigate the cause of (and hopefully find a solution for) Decadia’s chaotic and misaligned seasons, which threaten the rocky peace held between the continent’s two expansive kingdoms. 

So... What can you expect from this blog? Be on the lookout for:

Apologies for the lack of updates, I kinda just forgot about updating on social media (I have to say it’s a rather nice break).
