Development Log: The Vortex #23 - More Emptiness

The next eight cards of Emptiness:


Pirateship is Blue because Yellow controls the seas, as it were, with Medical Frigate and Cargo Vessel.  This helps to further cement the idea that Blue and Yellow are enemies; Blue is like the rebellion and Yellow is like the empire in Star Wars.

Adding to the meek theme is cards like The Awoken, Slowpokes, Tearmen, Seedling, and (of course) Meek.

Seedling offers a compliment to Starving, so a player who has both in play refills his hand normally.

Optomites should show that Devotees of Emptiness have strong wills, which helps them survive through Solidity's reign.

I can't say I'm thrilled with the placeholder art for these eight; although they mostly express what I'm getting at, they don't give off the macabre sci-fi look that previous cards have.  Meh, that's placeholders.

Next will be the last eight Devotees of Emptiness.
