Maybe it's just that I'm an old Magic player, but there's something about that white border that makes these look extra-real.

I came up with some foldable player tokens to fill out some empty slots in my deck order.

In addition to the original 100-card playdeck, I also printed the two 20-card expansion sets. Plus three "promo" cards just to round out some other empty slots. These three bonus cards have not been playtested very well, so they may be junk. But as I mentioned before, this is the first time I've released the second expansion to the internet! Even though my crew has been playing with it for years.

That's a closer look at the two card backs I whipped up. The deck back is actually a heavily Photoshopped freezeframe of the bumpers that would run between the show and the commercials. Since TaleSpin has that facedown cargo bluffing mechanic, I wanted to make the backs of the cards kinda evoke a suitcase or box. So I settled for wicker with a postcard on it.

The sky back is for the Location cards and the Player cards.

There's the ridiculous 140+ playdeck. Trust me, that is a bitch to shuffle whether you're playing with sleeved cards, naked cards, or inkjet cards. I also added two more "real" Cargo cards to the deck... so the true count (including the promo cards) is a reasonably pleasant number, 145.

Again, I have to express how nice the print job is. The Fatal Frame cards are mostly blacks and dark reds, so the TaleSpin set seems to absolutely pop with color.

Is this officially the craziest paean to an early 1990s cartoon, or what? You can take your Mary Sue fanfics and shove it! I live in Cape Suzette, baby.
