Development Log: The Vortex #24 - Last of Emptiness

Here are the last eight cards of Emptiness, Blue's Devotees.


The last of these cards generally follow the theme, with the exception of The Unimaginable, which follows the rule that there is always one exception to the theme.

Witch Doctor negates Frenzies, so it weakens a card without directly acting offensively.

Respectators was designed with the terms "Respect" and "Spectator" put together.  So if you think about them as spectators in any sport, from Roman Gladiators to modern boxing matches or football games, they will not jump in the fight, but their presence has an effect on the morale of those they cheer for (namely other Blue cards).

Dustchildren is of a similar nature to the nomads like Walkers.

Naomi has a calming effect on the Crusades.  I imagine her as being some kind of exotic and magical priestess or princess, so the placeholder art is good enough, I suppose.

The placeholder art for Dripping, however, is fairly irrelevant to the card.  I think of dripping bodily fluids, like sweat, blood, saliva, or the slime of a slug, so it would be a creature that might look like an alien rabid dog, perhaps.  Such a creature would be unable to use logic, hence its extra rule.

Next Development Log, we move on to Red cards.
