because you have a powerful line with dryads:[...]The trick is not to go back to the first traveller but to Franfeluche or Melusine directly. So Dryads/Franfeluche or Dryads/Melusine are really one card!
herw’s entry:
Dryads is really neat; one of the more creative ideas I’ve seen here, although I’m kind of wondering why you would bother promoting a Traveler in the first place if you plan on going back to it. Mountain Troll looks cool. The others are pretty similar to existing cards and don’t excite me much, but I do like that Mesuline is another way to make a Grand Market that’s hard to get.

I know that. I'm wondering why you would bother promoting either of those to Dryads if you're just going to go back to them.

Really interesting Traveller Line! Dryads shouldn't have a line separating the text since everything should happen when played. As it is currently worded you only get +1 Card and +2 Actions when played.
Thanks for sharing!
I have played a game with Headhunter, Adventure Seeker (german version: +1 buy) and Hall of Fame and it was brisk and very interesting. You have to buy Head Hunter early.Fame Cards
When one or more Fame cards are in the kingdom, each player gets their own Fame mat. Fame mats track a number of "Feats" you can achieve during the game, and Fame cards become better the more of those you achieved. Whenever you achive a Feat, e.g. gain a Gold, you cover up the Feat on the board with a coin token. However, to achieve a Feat, not onlym ust they fulfill the Feat's condition, but at the time they did so, the Feat must be either one from the bottom row, or reachable by an arrow coming from an already achieved Feat (sort of like a skill tree).
Still not entirely sure about that "draw your deck" Feat, suggestions are welcome.
I don't think it's necessarily a bad thing that one of the Feats is board dependant but it does feel kind of off in some way with only one being like that. The only thing I could think of to replace it was something Magic Lampy, counting non-duplicate cards in play, not sure what exact numbers could be appropriate.
I'm not sure I like that you can achieve the other Feats before you pick up a Fame card. It seems kind of cheesy that you can achieve the other 5 Feats and then only bother to pick up the Fame card when it's already really strong, but maybe I'm underestimating how much you have to go out of your way to get those Feats. It would seem more natural to me to have the Fame board be inverted so there's only the "Gained a Fame" feat on the bottom row, but I'm sure you've thought much more about this than I have and there's a good reason behind it being the way that it is.
Pawn Shop seems like it might be broken to me? Once you get to 5 feats it lets you discard 3 cards to gain a Province and it seems to enable the Duchy and Gold gaining feats pretty well itself. Actually it also kind of enables the $2 feat too because you should be able to discard some things and be left with $2 without missing out on too much. I guess I just think that a card that can gain Provinces without having to combo with any other cards is not a good idea.
Why do you need potion in costs?
The non-mandatory trashing is the little extra, similar to Junk Dealer or Upgrade having a little extra relative to a mere cantrip trasher.
The main idea of the Attack is that you might want to junk the opponents if you have more trashing power.
To kickstart this Curses game I put the topdecking attack in there; not sure if it is too strong though.
The extra Buy is there to make everything run smoother with Potions but it could be too much.
thank you; that's my opinion tooHm - i don't like too many new types.I am in discussion about using purple banners too in German forum. I am using it for a traveller-serie with negative victory points. Donald's rule for purple banner only for curses (named curse) is not very useful.
My attempt at a dual type Curse-ish card. You can buy it and then trash it later, but the Curse-gaining makes it more of a pain to do so. Overall, you'll have to decide if the extra +Action is worth it. The type is "Dark" instead of Curse to avoid any confusion.
Nevertheless you don't need a new type. It is no curse (-type) so no other curser will affect this card.
I almost replied with the same thing, but I'm unsure about the idea of a regular action being worth VP at the end, whether positive or negative. The VP type and the Curse type both let you know to count the VP on the cards at the end of the game. The rules simply say "Count up your" at game end; so they don't say that you are counting only Victory and Curse cards. But the color at least is helpful for knowing to count it at the end.

Yes, +1VP is simpler, but not everyone has Prosperity or Empires. I thought letting it standalone is better.Secret EstateIs this supposed to remain set aside forever? In that case, "When you trash this, +1 VP" seems more reasonable. If not, it needs to say when it is returned.
cost $1 - Victory - Shelter
When you trash this, set this aside.
---
1VP
you don't need Prosperity or Empires. As Donald said, you can use any marker, perhaps Euro-Cent? 
Where are people getting the art for their cards?well - i like a special style of dominion pictures, more fantasy like (f.i. laboratory, alchemist, herbalist, market square, death cart f.i.).
Ok, this took some work. The idea is, that you can collect gems, but each player has a different mat for that. You can only fill one column or one row each time, you buy this event and if you have leftover gems, they go to the next player.
The number of available gems is limited by 6 emeralds, 8 diamonds and 11 rubies per player. Dual-type cards like Harem or Mill add two gems, of course.
Did Melusine just change? didn't it used to be a cantrip?If it would be a cantrip too and you play Dryads, exchange at once to Melusine, you would get overall +2 Cards +2 Actions +2 Coffers (!). So Melusine gives you only +2 Coffers but in combination with Dryads it is powerful enough: +1 Card +1 Action +2 Coffers.
Franfeluche neefs more support, but Puck, Wood Gnome and Mountain Troll are all terminal. I also don't know if you really want to exchange Melusine to Dryads.Please look at the mechanism of Dryads (sorry for the chaos of quick translation). The idea is to combine Dryads with a tricky exchange:
Wait, herw, wasn't Dryads' exchange clause on play when you revealed it in the German forum? I think it read:arggh, yes forgot to translate and lost it. I have to change Melusine too.
+1 Card
+2 Actions
Exchange this for a Traveller costing less, putting it in your hand.
Needless to say, this is terribly weak in comparison.
ah, yes - i see the problem with +x cards +x villagers in reaction part. Would it help, to say (reaction part)hm - thinking about two cards, or maybe same but non-cursor:Well, I'm not saying I have a great idea to fix it. I'm just saying that if one or more Cursers are in the kingdom, you usually want one. Even if it's mostly to keep the number of Curses given to you at bay. So a card that Curses and defends against Cursers doesn' t create considerations that are all that different from a card that just Curses. Either way you need one to both defend your deck and attack the opponents'.About the main concept, an Attack that is also its defense: Any cursing attack is its own defense. Witch only can deal out a fixed number of Curses each game. A good way to keep them from going in your deck is just distributing them yourself. So every Witch IS her own counter spell. I know I'm raining on your parade a lot here right now, but I kinda feel you are trying to re-invent the wheel here. Sorry.Maybe there are other non cursing Attack-cards in play?
Your idea is, that the first part shouldn't be an attack but something other action or separate both to two different cards; only Attack-card and the other only action-reaction card?
Drawing two cards is a big problem, because you could draw your entire deck, if you have enough Counter Magic cards and maybe even hit a reshuffle to play the same Reaction cards again. You should give the + cards at the start of the next turn.
They would basically be Laboratories then. It's not my main issue, though. My main issue is that with a sufficiently thin deck, you can gain infinite Villagers with this. As a matter of fact, this would be the case even if the card only drew one card.
my favourite version has an extra buy so, +but i think this is too strong too. Maybe only +2 Actions +1 Card +I don't think so. The only reason to do +is clarity / less wordiness.
is not the same.Even if you get a deck with extra Buys and can thus use the price reduction of Forest Village to purchase some new villages for $2 (instead of the "normal" price of $3) the opportunity cost (buy Potion, have one extra stop card in your deck, can only buy one village per shuffle) to get there is pretty huge.You imply only one card with potion in cost. I think it is not fair because if you choose cards with potion-costs you should coose three (see Donald's comment to Alchemy).
I seriously doubt that Forest Village will be better than any $4 village (even Mining Village) in any Kingdom (if Workshop variants are around it is a no-brainer).
Suggestion:many thanks for correct and simple wording
All cards cost Potion less this turn, but not less than no Potion.
- you have to remember, that i created victory cards with potion in cost.that was meFor those who don't like potion costs
Another way of wording this that might be better is to give +
(Bewitched Town) this turn.One big problem with it is that it might be the only Potion-costing card in the game; in which case it needs to be good enough by itself.yes and therefore it costs only 2 treasures + potion. So you can buy itself for only 2 treasures and you get +1 action + 1 Buy extra.
