Welcome to today's First Edition Friday Question, where you get a chance to answer questions that will help shape the future of First Edition. Today is a question about logistics, but if you'd like to catch up on previous entries, here's a list of all of my previous Friday Questions:
We've talked about a lot of the aspects of cards over the past few months during these Q&As, but today I want to focus on the art. As important as the game text, flavor text, and story of these cards are, it's the image, the art, that ties it all together.
What is your favorite 1E card image?
Maybe your favorite card image is a hero shot of your favorite character. For me, that's probably Comm Officer Sato - a lot of that card is conveyed in that image. Or maybe it's a pivotal moment of your favorite story - something like Klingon Death Yell? Maybe you have a favorite ship - mine is the Starship Enterprise. Or maybe you love it when the art explodes out of the frame, like Where No Man Has Gone Before.
And I also want to take this opportunity to shout out Johnny Holeva (jjh) and his fantastic team of artists. I think card art in the CC era exceeds the best work of the Decipher era. My absolute favorite moment of doing card design is getting the first proof of cards with images. My jaw's hit the floor so many times over the years. But this isn't about me, it's about you: What is your favorite card image?
Have a great weekend, folks.
