This one is good because it only uses one font (and also looks rad). In most others the logo/tagline font clashes horribly with all other text on the card. If a block of text doesn't look good in the tagline font, I'd recommend substituting it for something similar but more usable as was done here. Would significantly improve most of the designs.

Yeah, I was thinking I would love to see Seari do his version with Insert Coin Scanline for the logo font and Insert Coin for the info text. Cutting and pasting the image at the top of the forum page looks shabbier than it needs to.

It does look professional.
But IMO it looks too professional.

The edge is missing.
It needs a very faded, very slight MHD watermark behind the whole thing. Or maybe that's all there is on the back.

Also doesn't scale to your level needs to end with a cursor like: >doesn't scale to your level

And it needs to fit neatly under the RPG Codex above it. Not hang out on the right side.

Also it needs the correct details on it. I'll update the news post with the full details.

A lighter background.

Too soft edges and cartoony. Need to be professional hard fonts.

Standard console font named "Fixed" font.
Just purged every other row like in the current rpgcodex title and made the center title fat, with some blend.

Thanks for the pictures of the dices Zombra, helped a lot.

Welp, I redrew the troll and the dice, not sure if I succeeded or not, you guys can be the judge of that.

Only thing left is the font. I'm really bad at picking the right font, so if anyone has any suggestions.
6 and 5 have a strange angles for me. For the fonts - you can try Terminal (DOS font) and Fallout-like fonts for old-school feel
