Okay guys .. got an idea I would like some feedback on.
Im currently working on the concept of some Playing Cards deisgned/based on around the CD-i and the titles/characters from within them.
So im just wondering A, what you guys think of the idea and B, what titles/characters you think should be represented on each card/suit etc?
CD-i Playing Cards???
Well first I have got to actually make/design them and well IF I can find somewhere either locally or online that will actually print (and sell them for online) then yea sure why not. So all I really need now is a list of 54, maybe more, characters to put on them.
And maybe a little input on what character should be waht face card.
So far the only ones ive got that I was going to put are Link, Zelda, Mutt, L-Wolf Jam, Tetsuro Hoshino (The Kid/player) The Old Man and Police Bots from Escape Form Cyber City, Sol Cutter and that was all I managed to note down before asking on here

Absolutely.Not to spoil all the fun, but I see some problem with copyrights for this deck of cards. So you might be able to make a set for yourself as fair use, but selling them will probably be out of the question legally.
But it would be nice if tgn_rogue designed playing cards with a cd-i theme, and posted them here.
Besides, producing and selling such cards would cost much more than it would bring in...

I'd love a full deck based upon The Apprentice. Probably be best to keep it all CD-i exclusive and I can't think of a better set of sprites than that of Apprentice. I'm pretty sure Philips wouldn't set the lawyers on you for a pack of cards. If they do I'll be having a harsh word with them
You need any help I'd be happy to lend a hand
Ahh this is all true but still doesnt stop me posting them online and ready to be downloaded and Possibly printed out on labels and suck ove ordinary playing cards then laminating them or something does itrdjnl wrote:Absolutely.Not to spoil all the fun, but I see some problem with copyrights for this deck of cards.

.And the selling idea was mainly wishfull thinking and was a way of easily distributing them to you guys as actual cards rather than just pictures .. but id still like a few decks made up propperly rather than the print,stick,laminate approach and wouldn't really be looking to make money to be honest.
Ooh thanks, and well would probably be easier to do indiviual packs based on various games rather than hvaing to choose different charaters from lots of games for one pack.Devin wrote:You always bring us the best toys!tgn_rogue wrote:Im currently working on the concept of some Playing Cards deisgned/based on around the CD-i and the titles/characters from within them.

And well im going to work on a rough layoutYea thats kind of why I was concidering editing out characerts like Link, Mario etc from my designs.
I agree....would probably be easier to do indiviual packs based on various games rather than having to choose different charaters from lots of games for one pack.
However, if you want a true cd-i theme deck you should choose characters from a title that was exclusively released for cd-i (e.g. the apprentice), and not Zelda and Mario.
As i said in the oter part of y post I was seriously concidering scrapping that ideardjnl wrote:I agree....would probably be easier to do indiviual packs based on various games rather than having to choose different charaters from lots of games for one pack.

.. aka It has been scrapped lol.As for the CD-i Only games, yea the Apprentice is one title but what bout others, as the only ones I can think of for characters that are solely on CD-i (these are only the ones that I own) are:
Great Brittish Golf,
Mad Dog McCree,
Mutant Rampage Body Slam,
Litil Divil,
And thats about it at the moment.
