HeroQuest Expansion Cards in HQ21 Format

I finished this project finally.

This is every card from Against the Ogre Horde, Wizards of Morcar/Zargon, Elf Quest Pack and Barbarian Quest Pack updated to the HQ21 format.

Any questions or feedback can be posted here. I'll be sharing this on facebook within the week, but wanted to give access to the Inn folk first.

Thanks to everyone who helped me get the pieces together to make this (and to my daughter who will never see this post for helping me to be more skillful at the editing that was needed and saving me a lot of time and pain.)

I literally just finished creating the same thing last night! Was planning on uploading them somewhere to share as well, but you beat me to it!

HQ21 = Remake, I get it now...

Interesting. So you went with the photo negative idea with the art. Is the user going to convert all their base cards to classic format to blend them? Because I see the cardbacks are classic, formatted for poker size.

Nlinindoll yours were similar?

Yes, all cards are formatted for poker size.

Most of the new art uses a negative aspect, so where the image looked good changed, I made the adjustment.

but why using negative images instead of the standard ones?

If you look at the new HQ21 cards, they are made similarly to the changes I made. Using the dark browns as the primary color and white as the secondary.

I didn't think this worked well for every card, but some of the art, when switched, was really well done. Especially the EQP and BQP images.

Generally that works well.
But why invert the images?

I tried inverted images for some dark warriors once and people didn't like how they looked. If you like them however, go for it...
