Making Cards / Re: Normal printing quantities?

If you're just printing cards for yourself, you should have an idea of how many to print. You can just fill whatever print sheet space left with extra sketch cards or something.

We usually have multiple Kefentse staff members at each con handing out promos at cons, so you shouldn't really need to worry about printing extras to give out. If you do, a pack of 54 is usually plenty for smaller cons if you're just handing them out as you go and aren't like a vendor or anything. Like you said, any extra you could give to staff or bring to another con.

Actually, Shia LeBouffalo and the other workshop cards were designed AT the conventions by the audience at HPG's panels. https://youtu.be/bBXp5Q5avYg

Okay, I always kind of wondered why some (like Shia LeBouffalo) had a symbol that seemed specific to the convention while others just had the year number on them. Yeah I've never seen an original Queen Bee Sunset Shimmer. I doubt I've seen an original print of any card, since I didn't find TSSSF until long after HPG had stepped down and my first ever convention was in 2016 (Texas Furry Fiesta in Dallas). I've been to very few conventions so far.

Making Cards / Normal printing quantities?
« Last post by Lord LunaEquie is me on September 10, 2017, 08:01:24 pm »
So, here's the deal: I need to print out a small number of cards for myself (such as Grand Creator Fausticorn) as well as several copies of the blank pony cards for commissioning art at cons (or at least at Nightmare Nights this year). I figure that I might as well at the same time print out several copies of some other cards, such as the CofK promo cards, to pass out to people while at the convention space.

Here's the thing: having never done this before and never looked into it, I have no idea what kind of numbers I should be shooting for. Part of me says I should print something like 25 copies of each of the CofK promo cards so that I won't run out of them; part of me says that's a ridiculous number and I'll never find 25 people to hand them out to; then part of me suggests giving my extras at the end of the con to N.A. Larson or whomever might be around.

So is there some number I should shoot for, here? How many do people who sell their cards usually order, and how long do they normally last? If I'm going to hand off my extras at the end of the con to someone who goes to more cons, should I be printing out a few more to help out? I'm kind of lost here.

Yes, I've noticed that when the grid gets really big, it's because someone chose not to destroy it when they had the chance.

I used to play with a guy who would go out of his way to nuke the grid, so I was the one making the grid harder to destroy. In fact, some of my earliest card designs were meant to stop grid destruction, but that was before my research revealed the importance of slicing.

HPG made an exclusive card for each of the conventions they were vending at. The set you linked, and its 2015 counterpart, are reprints of those cards. The original cards have expansion symbols that represent the con they are from.

Well I haven't really played a whole lot of TSSSF games, either, really, so it might be more or less an issue of not having a large enough sample size to accurately judge my needs. There's also the fact that probably more than half of the games I've played have been with my entire collection, first the 300-some-odd collection of official cards and then later the nearly-600 collection after getting a bunch of fan cards at Nightmare Nights. It makes drawing slicers kind of difficult. Luckily, recent games have been more subdued, with the core and one or two expansions instead of the whole dang thing, so I might find it more manageable in the future.

Also, while I always hold onto Love Poisons and the like for big plays and grid reduction, I've found my friends don't always do, which takes away even further avenues of management (the munchkin of my group often even purposefully makes the grid more difficult to destroy).

I will be both of those things!

Side Note: I'm still on the hunt for an original Queen Bee Sunset Shimmer card, so if you have one and you want to trade or sell it, maybe we can make a deal!
Define "original". I have the one seen on github from the 2014 Con Exclusives, but I don't know if there's something more you're looking for.

I actually haven't yet ordered prints of the blank pony cards (along with some copies of Bat Romance, Filly Hays, and Fausticorn), so I could just add that into my order and bring that copy to you.

There's a Sailor Moon card in the set, of course. I did have a Pretty Sammy and PSG card planned, but they got cut. I recently just thought of another PSG card that's good enough I might add one more card to the set for it. (PSG totally counts btw.)
