Thanks Wired.com!
Amazing.
The past two weeks have been buzzing with questions, orders, and interest over Iconica. I want to sincerely express my gratitude to Jonathan Liu for such a favorable review of Iconica. (I'm finally a GeekDad! My wife always knew though.)
Developing Iconica is one of the most fun and satisfying projects I work on as a creative. Its progress is supported by players who love the indie-gaming experience and want to spend time exploring content with soul.
While I maintain a clear vision for Iconica's growth, I welcome suggestions and feedback from the gaming community. In fact, one upcoming character - the Brew Master - is based on a recommendation offered up by an Iconica player! It was a great suggestion because it fit into the lore and culture of Rynaga. I can't wait to share more about how this character was created.
I'm thankful for all of the questions, accolades, and support I've been receiving. Just know this is only the beginning!

Preview - New Iconica Cards
I'm getting ready to release three new Iconica cards so I thought I'd post a preview featuring the new characters. This post may answer some of your initial questions about the cards, but be sure to email me if you have more questions. These three cards are due for release this April.
Description
Masquers are celebrated performers of Sarion lore. Often found traveling with theatrical productions, the Masquer is a passionate story-teller, exquisite dancer and skilled acrobat. Masquers have a talent for mesmerizing their audiences, leaving onlookers in a state of wonderment that is not easily broken.
Skills
The Lunaen Masquer possesses Clarity and Evasion, making her resistant to Blind and Stun. She also has a Parry tile for blocking damage and a Reaction tile that deals 10 damage back to any attacker. While she is a Disruptive Class character, she is capable of healing herself to a small degree.
Action Style
Look for this Masquer to deal out lots of Status Effects, primarily Confusion. She also has the ability to use Actions from opposing characters. If you want a character that will complicate your opponents decisions, she's the one.
Description
Raiders work on the fringe of Sarion lands. Much of their time is spent harassing traveling merchants in search of valuable goods and resources to loot. They abduct dignitaries, politicians and members of royalty whenever they can. Raiders are in the business of holding others for ransom and business is booming.
Skills
Raiders are masters of Evasion. In fact seven of their 17 Health Meter tiles are geared towards avoiding Stun. In addition, Raiders have a Reaction damage potential of 50 points.
Action Style
The Drakhan Raider is well-suited to dealing out damage and has an ability that removes negative status effects from his allies. He also has an Action called "Ransom" which prevents three opposing characters from using any #6 Actions until they roll doubles.
Description
The misty region known as Greystalk is home to a high concentration of Vaygr; powerful, intelligent, and carnivorous beasts that consistently threaten Sarion citizens. Hunters of this realm specialize in suppressing the Vaygr threat. Without Slayers, Sarion towns would be overrun with these beasts.
Skills
The Vaygr Slayer is a survivor. He has a good amount of health and uses Parry tiles to block incoming damage. He also carries an herb called Lilander with him, which comes in handy for healing.
Action Style
The more damage this Slayer receives, the more damage he is capable of delivering. His Actions are geared towards endurance and adaptability throughout all stages of the game. He may not deal great amounts of damage early on, but he's a great game closer.
I'm excited about these new cards and I can't wait to share more with you in the coming weeks.
