Equipment Card Set 1
Publisher: WeeWarriors

The artwork on these cards are nice, but the rest of the layout is a little sub-standard. Not the quality layout I've seen from other publishers. But they would work fine if you're not that particular.

Equipment Card Set 1

Equipment Card Set 1 is the first product from new RPG publisher, WeeWarriors. This product features a collection of printable cards of weapons, armor and equipment that can be used as handouts during your game. The product comes as a set of 20 png files within a zip file, and the image files are organised with 9 images to a page. To provide more flexibility with this card set, a number of blank and card back pages are provided to add your own images, write on or create your own cards.

The set comes with a wide variety of different weapons and armor, including axes, daggers, clubs, bows, quivers, swords, polearms, crossbows, hammers, helmets, shields, staffs (magical and mundane), rods, scimitars and others. The variety is very good, and each weapon-type has fairly good representation, although things like swords, axes and shields are more commonplace which is probably the best approach. Artwork is done at 150 dpi resolution which is good for printing, though not photo quality, and each image is placed on a tan/brown background. Images are rendered to provide good 3D detail and light reflection, and most of the images capture this quality well.

The images capture the fantasy feel well, and depict more fantastical weapons than the typical medieval weapon. As the images are all the same size, they're not too scale on the paper, meaning that the polearms look rather flimsy compared to the beefy swords or even axes. In fact, the polearms are all fairly thin, making it difficult to gather the detail from the image. In a way it would've been somewhat better if some attention to scaling and size had been taken, particularly if you want to give your players an accurate representation of the item they've just found or acquired. The tan background is also in places somewhat cumbersome, dwarfing out the detail and colour of the other images. Having the images on a plain white background as a second option would've been nice.

I think WeeWarriors' first offering is fairly good. There's some good artwork, good variety, and I liked the fact that this wasn't too medieval but rather more fantastical. There are some minor issues with the product particularly related to the scaling of the polearms and perhaps the background, but for the most part this is a really useful collection of images that can be used as handouts, or for those that which to scale them even further, the images can be used as 2D terrain tile objects. The rendering and artwork has been done very well, creating lively pieces and with the ability to write on the card backs, you can create artifacts or interesting weapons with histories that will hopefully be more than just another magical sword. Good offering.
