Holy Cow! Time sure flies!
I have been extremely busy lately working to improve my powerful
D&D Character Sheet and my multiple D&D games (well, ok, also add the Wife + Kids to the mix!) that I have not taken much time to work on the Mythology Board Game project. So here is a résumé what I still need for the Cards.
At this stage, most cards are completed. Both the Heroes cards, and the Deity cards are ready! I still require a few images for Creatures cards and the Special cards... If you can help, let me know! (Note that the name of the author of each card is featured in the lower part of the card)
CREATURE CARDS:Antaeus:
EDIT: Completed by DAA-TRUTH [link]Antaeus in Greek and Berber mythology was a giant of Libya, the son of Poseidon and Gaia, whose wife was Tinjis. He was extremely strong as long as he remained in contact with the ground (his mother earth), but once lifted into the air he became as weak as water. He would challenge all passers-by to wrestling matches, kill them, and collect their skulls, so that he might one day build out of them a temple to his father Poseidon. Heracles, finding that he could not beat Antaeus by throwing him to the ground, as he would regain his strength and be fortified, discovered the secret of his power (touching the ground) and held Antaeus aloft and crushed him in a bearhug.What I am looking for: Well, as Antaeus was strong when connected to the ground, so it would be nice to have some kind of earth giant. For example, an image similar to this earth giant from DAA-TRUTH would be nice. Another excellent piece is the Giant by Beucephalus. Of course, any 'though' giant would probably do for this card.
EDIT: Brontes has been completed!EDIT: Polyphemus has been completed!Cyclops:
In Greek mythology and later Roman mythology, a cyclops, is a member of a primordial race of giants, each with a single eye in the middle of its forehead. The classical plural is cyclopes though the conventional plural cyclopses is also used in English. The name is widely thought to mean "circle-eyed"What I am looking for: I actually need two images here. The first is the Cyclops Brontes and the other is the Cyclops Polyphemus. Examples of excellent images
for this would be the cyclops by sb51075. It would be awesome to have Cyclops that actually resembles each other as brothers would! Good rendition of Cyclops are quite hard to find...
Laelaps:
Laelaps was a Greek mythological dog who never failed to catch what he was hunting.What I am looking for: It should be relatively easy to find a good Dog image that would fit this card.... I just need to look at the zillions ones available - unless you have one that would fit the bill?!
Teumessian fox:
EDIT: Assigned to Wings-of-Shadow [link]In Greek mythology, the Teumessian fox was a gigantic fox that was destined never to be caught.What I am looking for: I found an excellent image for this, but alas the author was not willing to grant permission to use her work (well, her fee was way beyond my reach

). The image is called
Riddle Me This by hibbary. That image is good because it captured the essence of the Teumessian fox, which is so good at not being found, that he would be laughing at anyone trying! Well, perhaps a regular Fox would do fine. There are so many of those...
SPECIAL CARDS:Apple Of Discord:
An apple of discord (kallisti) is a reference to the Golden Apple of Discord which, according to Greek mythology, the goddess Eris said that she would give "to the fairest" at the wedding of Peleus and Thetis, sparking a vanity-fueled dispute between Hera, Athena and Aphrodite that eventually led to the Trojan War. Thus, "apple of discord" became a euphemism for the core, kernel, or crux of an argument, or for a small matter that could lead to a bigger dispute.What I am looking for: Well, a golden apple shouldn't be too though to find... preferably in a Greek context!
EarthquakeWhat I am looking for: An image showing the result of an Earthquake, preferably some Greek-like damage. Ruins might work, but they should not look too old!
Insect Swarm EDIT: Insect Swarm has been completed! [link]What I am looking for: This card does damage to crops - so any image that clearly shows the devastation of crops/vegetation by swarms of (flying) insect would be good. A swarm of Locust would do the trick.
