Equipment cards! Equipment comes in two flavors: Standard, which are equipped by exhausting the Standard Resource Cards required already in play that you control, or Primal Equipment, which are paid for (at least in part) by Dragon Resources, which are gained by defeating enemy dragons or sacrificing your own!

Standard Equipment tends to focus on mechanical upgrades to weapons and armor plating, while Primal upgrades can be anything from Dragonscale Armor Plating, Dragon Talon Harpoons, or even Dragon Bone Ship Rams! Some may even call on the mysterious powers of dragonkind to command other dragons or their abilities!

Say Ahoy to your sample Captain Format! Captain cards are pretty straight-forward as they cannot attack or take damage directly and must be added to a ship in order to be brought into the battle ground. Captains can provide both active and passive abilities and enhance the airship they are attached to. If their ship takes critical damage they even have a chance to survive by "jumping" to another ship in play that you control!

Say Ahoy to your Standard Resource Format! Standard Resources provide the requirements necessary for "Enlisting" (bringing into play) most types of ships and equipment. Requirements vary by card, so you'll need to build your deck to include the right balance of Resource Cards to fit your playstyle.

Thus far, there are 5 Standard Resources: Lumber, Coal, Steam, Iron and Gold!

Standard Resources are gained by drawing Resource Cards from your deck, destroying enemy ships, or even "Scuttling" (destroying) your own ships for an immediate (though penalized) boost!

Here's a pretty thing! After about 15 hours of work in Adobe Illustrator I have my basic format all set up. The art on the front is not mine, it's just a placeholder for now and the white circle on the backer will have the upcoming key art featured in it. Hope you guys like how it's progressing!

Happy New Year, friends! Here's to a new year of adventures and enjoying all of God's blessings 🙏

It's getting real, ya'll! This is the announcement for my first project, Embark: The Roaring Skies!

Embark is a strategic battle trading card game featuring a battle-torn world filled with steam-powered airships vying for dominance of the skies from each other and from the native fauna, dragons!

More to come soon as I finish fleshing out all the battle mechanics and launch the ! I hope you'll join me on this epic quest!
