Since people have been asking me to put the files for the Create-a-Clan
I played at Gen Con up for public viewing, here you go. I won 'Most
Entertaining' for this silliness. Much thanks to everyone who
complimented me and/or voted for it at the tourney itself.

I went a little overboard (and/or nuts) and made art for not only the
crpyt, but the entire library. (The spoof card was Game of Malkav.) 10
vampires and 24 library cards, with nec/dem/aus as the discipline
spread. Necromancy and Dementation seemed thematic, and while searching
for crypt images I found a couple of great pictures (the pictures used
for Enhanced Senses and Telepathic Misdirection), both of which
inspired me to use them for the respective cards and make Auspex the
third. Otherwise, I'd have made the third Animalism and used images of
the various pets and animals (such as Puggsley's octopus Aristotle, the
undead Polar Bear rug, the pet lion, etc) to dup for animal retainers
and the like.

I used a combination of Photoshop and Filemaker Pro with Damnans'
templates to make the cards, using .jpgs found on a variety of
websites. Took a couple of evenings' work once I had the artwork
located. All the art (including the clan background) is from the TV
series except for Call the Hungry Dead, Game of Addams and Gomez
Advanced (obviously), and the clan symbol was an edited image from a
heraldry site. All the flavor text was found from various quotes and
soundfiles sites about the TV series; they're all authentic quotes from
the series.

Thanks to Josh for hosting the files; he may turn this into a
slideshow-like format in the next couple of days. In the meantime, you
can manually negotiate the directories, because I don't feel like
listing 30+ URLs to click to. :P

I'm wildly pro the Gomez/Advanced Gomez picture action. Very good stuff.

Exactly, when I first saw it I was like," Raul Julia? I thought this
was the classic show...."

This it hits me, it's the Advanced Version.

Badda Bing! Straight to the Moon!

Yeah, could have been a lot worse, if I hadn't been playing 6-12 copies
of a handful of cards..
