I must admit, I have a somewhat haphazard way of putting things together, logically I should have moved onto Outpost Deck 1, or Act Deck 1 or similar. But instead I decided to do Outpost Deck 2.
This is the deck I'm the least happy with and ironically it's the one which took the longest to put together. Note: I'm looking to vary my style with each deck, keeping certain elements to tie together the Outpost, Thing and Act decks but making each one distinct within itself.
The first draft of Outpost two looks as follows:
Front:
(I'm very happy with the solution I found to red text on a blue background, it also helps mechanically distinguish the 'Play Immediately' cards from the rest.)
Back:
The front is OK, it's serviceable and it will do until I figure out what it is I feel is missing from the design. But, I found the back rather bland as well as distracting the eye too much and revised it as follows:
It's better, but it's not perfect, I'm thinking I need to stain/rust these cards in some fashion to make them more interesting. But I'll come back to that in the final stages.

I am also finding some difficulties in keeping track of what cards are supposed to be in what deck. The simple/ink light version by helps, but it's not 100% accurate, likewise the scans by

also help, but they're a little confusing to navigate at times.
My main concern is managing to keep the cards from The Things separate on the print sheets from The Thing, but I'm not sure that's going to be possible. We'll have to see, it's hard work without an actual copy of the game to crib from.
