Past Projects: Warrior Princesses in the Realm of Everafter
The Realm of Everafter
The 5th edition of Dungeons and Dragons just released and I wanted to have a game world for it. I wanted to create an object that was different than what is usually made for this genre. Tarot cards evoke a mysticism that lends itself to fantasy and I wanted to bring some of that to the depiction of art and information in the deck.
The characters themselves are taken from fairy tales and popular media. The fun part was to twist their backstory so that they become less reactive protagonists, but rather agents of change in their worlds. These warriors play more of the role of freedom fighters than ladies in waiting and through the use of the game have their own powers and abilities.
My favorite part of the story is that the Warrior Princess’ villainous counterparts joined forces to take over the Realm of Everafter. What better reason for like minded freedom fighters to join forces?
