This blog post is about a Dungeons and Dragons project I and my friend Marek made for college. This post shows the comments made whilst people evaluated it and my response to them.

The evaluations were mainly possitive with praise on the artwork, story and the card statistics, and negative comments on colour usage and spelling;

The first set of comments me and my partner Marek received Praised our well written adventures, which is a surprise because when I wrote them I was not to sure about them. The comments brought up some spelling issues, and maybe some errors on the card designs, which the comments suggested spell checker be used. This would be rather hard, as the cards were made in Photoshop which has not got spell checker. Marek has yet to master english spelling, but once he does this problem won’t bother him.

The second set of comments was pretty much the same with the artwork and card design, praising the well made cards, but they seemed to think the narrative was lacking in size. In all honesty it could have been bigger, that is true, but I had not time or enough information to do so. If I start this earlier next time I should have enough time. This set of comments said the cards and maps made were marketable, which is indeed high praise, as there were many mistakes which I could have pointed out.

The third set of comments was mainly art based, commenting on the detail and designs of the art. They also mention how the card designs were original and the adventures were detailed. They commented mainly on how the art was colourless, saying there should have been more colour. The cards we were handed were monotone, so I drew the pictures in monotone, so I can’t really accept that criticism, however, I shall try to use more colour in the future if the project calls for it.

The fourth set of comments mentioned the cards and the product in general was well rounded, but as mentioned before, they said that the text is brief and could be improved. They mention that the card statistics were well balances, I’m glad that Marek did a good job there.

The Fifth set of comments, praised the designs for being imaginative and creative, but said the written parts weren’t on par with the artistic parts. It mentioned that we should focus more on the written parts. I can see this, but I spend some time trying to communicate with my partner over the card section, so time was limited on the time we had for the written part. I thought it was short but sweet, but I can see how it would be criticised for this, and next time I am doing something like this I shall try to do the writing first.

The sixth set of comments was of a more technical note, commenting on how the cards were made in Photoshop format which would make it hard for some people to access them, and commenting on the colour once again. They also mentioned the projection of the concept, which I don’t understand, but I guess It means the project should be better presented.

I shall take all of these into account next time I do a project, and I thank all involved for their criticism.
