Llod's Carnival Playing Cards

A November 2018 Pip Box Club Selection - For more information on joining Pip Box Club click here.

From creator Terry Doll:

The characters are dreamt from my imagination which all tell their own story. Each character has their own personality with special abilities, skills and desires and they have the choice to enhance themselves at a mortal price. Most of the characters wear steampunk-like gadgetry which is not powered by steam, but with a smart alien power source called Lodscovium. The technology is unstable and produces a toxic mist which is deadly overtime without protection.

The top pose of the character shows their face and torso appearing lively and dynamic. This is how the character will look in everyday life. Each character has their own unique gadget and they display it proudly. The gadget either enhances their natural gifts or gives them enhanced special abilities. If they properly maintain their gadgets, then they will always appear healthy.

The opposite pose shows a face and torso of the same character, but looks grotesque, sickly, deteriorating, and deathly. The two faces and torso will be almost opposite each other like life vs. death (yin and yang). The character appears this way because of the life force in being drawn out of him/her from exposure to the Lodscovium radiation. The radiation will impact anything within its range including the gadgets. The gadgets and machines will appear aged, faded, rusted, distressed and be falling apart. Any organic material such as clothes will become tattered, old, and dirty.

These playing cards would be great for anybody who loves playing cards. Add them to your collection, give them as a gift or bring them to your next poker night.

Nicely done

From what I can find online, it appears that Terry Doll is creating here not just playing cards but an interlocking universe of storytelling and graphic art. The art itself is very nicely done, sharp and sexy with a nice sense of design. The circular interplay of the Joker art (edge to edge to edge, etc.) is clever indeed. Pip and font design are nicely integrated with all the other elements. Feel and finish is nice, and the tuck box, while unembossed, is nicely designed.

While the personal artistic accomplishment is impressive and laudable, I don't want to sound too negative while stating that the scary steampunk carnival idea is derivative of so much other popular creative work that it seems a little stale. While I understand that the history of the playing card shares aspects of both violent monarchial culture clashes and dark occult magic and belief, am I the only one who finds all the death and zombie decay on so many decks tiresome?

A Colorful deck with beautiful art

The artwork on these cards is stunning, to say the least. Light and dark reflecting each other perfectly on the face cards, and subtly on the card backs. Definitely a showpiece deck, but it may be distracting in game situations, as the players might pay more attention to the art on the cards than the game! I can see it being hard to use this deck for magic where a card could be damaged, as you just don't want to hurt them.

If you're a collector, grab these, you'll be glad you did.
