Development Log: The Vortex #21 - Last of Solidity

Here are the last eight cards in the Yellow Devotee set:


Apparitions is similar to the Rogation Phantasmagoria, both of which use the same kind of technique for conversion: if you saw a ghost, you'd be scared into converting, but you'd also know you saw proof through the senses, so your Fearful Conversion makes you a True Convert.

Other cards here are similar in tone: Irregularity is similar to Thunderheads, and Cargo Vessel shows that Solidity controls ships, just like Medical Frigate.

I had to think hard about what Earthlings might do, and I decided, in a more cynical moment, that Earthlings are so volatile that if they are converted to another religion they become even more fervent in their beliefs than before.

If you check the stats on Ambassador, as well as on Green's Flesh, you will see that its stats are go against the grain of the color's theme.  I decided there would be one card per set that is the opposite of its theme.  (I don't know what that means... that we can all work in harmony?)

Next, we'll get into Blue Devotee cards.
