Variants and Fan Cards / Re: Dominion Card Image Generator v1.5

Basically that template is a solution in search of a problem. It's an expression of confidence that someday someone will have the perfect idea that can best (or only) be expressed by a double-sided card.
My original use for it was Duration cards where you make a choice the turn you play it which affects what you get next turn, so there's no danger of forgetting which option you chose. Later there was a topic about "Adaptive" cards, and I put forward a couple of examples... IIRC, the idea was that the first time you gained (or acquired by Masquerade, Traveler, etc.) one such card you had to place a two-sided alpha/beta token on the supply pile, choosing which side was face-up, and for the rest of the game, that token's orientation locked you into only using the alpha side of that card or only using the beta side. But I'm sure there are more possibilities out there.

There's no real Dominion Reserve card that triggers on "when you gain a card." Duplicate is closest but that's restricted by price.

Unless they're Reserve cards themselves, yes, going by Miser's precedent they would just sit there. Which is nice if you're gaining Victory cards.

Reservist - $5 Action Reserve
Put this on your Tavern mat.

When you gain a card, you may call this, to put that card on your Tavern mat.

Do you have a timeline for updating this for renaissance or is it more of a, "I'll get to this eventually," type of thing?Read a few posts up: I already added support for all known new Renaissance mechanics before they were even previewed.

Yeah, that's a major issue with the current state of the text parsing currently: the special symbols ($, @, etc.) are not recognized when preceded by most characters. You have to write "+ $1" instead of "+$1" until I get around to overhauling things.
As for lining up, if you mean vertically, unfortunately different browsers just aren't very consistent with their text rendering. Desktop Chrome on Windows is what I do most of my testing in, and that's where the text will come out looking the most authentic. Other browsers will display things at subtly different sizes, different offsets, and so on, in ways that are not ideal but generally close enough.

Quick update for Renaissance: Added Artifacts and Projects to the dropdown list of colors (though you'll forgive me if I don't provide any examples), and added "villager" to the list of bolding keywords.

Ox is basically a Diadem you can only spend one action on. How about...
If it's your Action phase, leave this in play for the rest of the game.
If it's your Treasure phase, +$2 per CARDNAME you have in play (counting this).

Very long overdue update: Boons, Hexes, and States are now supported. In order for them to be available I had to change a number of things under the hood, so there's a new EXTRA CUSTOM option which takes full advantage of those additions, letting you go more wild than ever.
I also added "coffer" to the list of keywords that make for bolded lines when appropriate, alongside "card," "buy," and "action." No other updates at the moment, though obviously there's still more to be done.

Tyrant might feel too targeted in >2 player games. If one opponent has a lot of gold and the other opponent has a lot of Artificers, you're intentionally choosing one of them to hurt.

Bastion looks very slow. Perhaps if it weren't limited to Estates, or if it were a Night card with that funky "This is gained to your hand" trick. Also it could use the Island mat?

But there doesn’t seem to be anyway to add them.Images must be hosted somewhere on the internet. This is in order for you to be able to use the page's URL parameters as a full definition of the card.

Also I’m making travelers and there’s no way to put the big arrow on it.Undocumented but really simple: the big arrow shows up if the card's type includes "Traveller"

Rules Questions / Re: Inheritance interaction
« on: May 12, 2018, 02:44:53 am »
I appreciate this new ability to play other people's cards, because it makes the "if it's still in play" wording on Royal Carriage meaningfully distinct from "if you still have it in play." All you have to do is play a card that a different player already has in play, and then you can call Royal Carriage in response to that. Huzzah!
(For example, suppose you do all the stuff from the original post, but instead of Throne Room, you use King's Court instead. Suppose the second player also inherited Crown; then you play another Herald twice, using it to play first Masquerade (so the second player passes the Estate to the third player), then an attack card. The third player, who inherited Caravan Guard, plays the Estate from their hand, and then finally for the third King's Court round, you play the Estate from the third player's play area. And then you call Royal Carriage to play it again.)

You may turn your Journey Token over (it starts face-up), to X.
If your Journey Token is face-up, Y. Otherwise, Z.
