:I'm not a legal expert or anything, but I would say uploading images of every single card would probably be a step too far. Like, go ahead and transcribe the whole thing in text, I'm sure that's fine. The rulebook especially, having a duplicate of the rules' full text written out online would be helpful for a lot of people. But personally, I'd think that having a full picture of every card might be overstepping a bit, even if they were particularly low-quality (and if they were, why even bother?). ''Maybe'' just the artwork from each card would be okay to include, but basically I think someone should '''''not''''' be able to fully assemble a facsimilie of the game out of our wiki documentation, y'know? --[[User:DorianGray|DorianGray]] 02:40, 13 July 2019 (UTC)

Bonus Cards

I got the Beefy Wyrmwood board for the game, and with the board itself I got some really broken cards. The cards are shown here. I suspect that if I got these outlandish cards here, I can only assume other people got different cards than these. If you have them, let's talk about them and possibly categorize them as such in the respective Keeper and Item parts.

These are really interesting. I think they should be fully documented (including describing the “real” cards that have been “taped over”. -166.137.252.121 13:48, 11 July 2019 (UTC)
Hmm, cards featuring Don't Make Daddy P.O.'d, the Stupid Home Edition of The Show (from geddup noise), the Cobra-Pult (from what I want) and Color Wheel Roulette (from redesign). All games manufactured by Boardalectrix. I didn't even realize those games came with cards! -- 68.37.43.131 21:28, 11 July 2019 (UTC)
There are cards of this type documented here, but not these in particular. Thanks, they'll be added here soon. ZZnMFMF.png Gfdgsgxgzgdrc 23:25, 11 July 2019 (UTC)
That’d be worth seeing! --AeroSnake 00:31, 12 July 2019 (UTC)

Dang!

Why is't this putting the pictures side by side?! --AeroSnake 01:23, 11 July 2019 (UTC)

How big is your monitor? It could be that the pictures are too wide. It looks fine to me. The Knights Who Say Ni 02:41, 11 July 2019 (UTC)
Looks fine to me as well. I shrunk them because they took up so much space on this talk page, so maybe now you'll be able to see them side-by-side. ZZnMFMF.png Gfdgsgxgzgdrc 23:25, 11 July 2019 (UTC)

About Spacing and Another Thing

Thanks, that was the issue. Also, was it okay for me to upload those two pictures to the project? I read the rules for imagery uploadery (SB's style of words?) but am not sure if it's allowed to upload images that aren't personal, for discussion purposes, though they're relevant. --AeroSnake 04:09, 11 July 2019 (UTC)

No problem! We upload images for discussions all the time. Also, you don't need to start a new discussion for every reply. Just edit the page, and in the next line, add a colon (:) and then your reply. ZZnMFMF.png Gfdgsgxgzgdrc 23:25, 11 July 2019 (UTC)
Thanks for the tip. I actually had a picture of the thank-you note for buying a Wyrmwood package, complete with a hand-drawn Strong Bad. I’ll upload that when I’m at my computer. --AeroSnake 00:22, 12 July 2019 (UTC)

Legal Stuff

How much of the game can we document here legally? Can we upload images of individual cards and tiles and stuff? The rulebook says "No part of this product may be reproduced without specific permission.", so does that include wiki-style documentation? Also, does that apply only to the rulebook, or to the entire game? I'd rather not have any visits from Litigation Jackson. ZZnMFMF.png Gfdgsgxgzgdrc 02:27, 13 July 2019 (UTC)

I'm not a legal expert or anything, but I would say uploading images of every single card would probably be a step too far. Like, go ahead and transcribe the whole thing in text, I'm sure that's fine. The rulebook especially, having a duplicate of the rules' full text written out online would be helpful for a lot of people. But personally, I'd think that having a full picture of every card might be overstepping a bit, even if they were particularly low-quality (and if they were, why even bother?). Maybe just the artwork from each card would be okay to include, but basically I think someone should not be able to fully assemble a facsimilie of the game out of our wiki documentation, y'know? --DorianGray 02:40, 13 July 2019 (UTC)

Reversible Meeples

It seems that some of the Meeples (at least the dragon ones, e.g. https://encrypted-tbn0.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn%3AANd9GcRTK2tSEfL64rZT_CQ064nbLk2RhoqQYNwzqrYRaFxmJI0RHQJE ) are reversible/printed on both sides. Does anyone actually have the game and can confirm/dispute? -107.77.76.56 13:56, 15 July 2019 (UTC)
