This may be a bit of a stretch considering the niche nature of the deck in question, but is there any chance you can also include Heckadeck card values? I’ve been tinkering with it for a bit and it would be rad to be able to mention 11s and Hunters alongside the usual Kings and Aces. 

Another niche and arguably much sillier suggestion: rock-paper-scissors!

Heckadeck: I think the only possible problem is it's proprietary(?) and I dunno what the IP situation is or whether the artist'd be okay with it. I'll contact them and see what the situation is, though. A couple other little things:

  1. I actually did have zero, one, eleven, twelve, and thirteen, but cut them because thirteen was too long to do the value+suit combos with (for annoying technical reasons)—obviously that's not an issue with Heckadeck since it only has zero and eleven.
  2. Acorns are actually a suit in German-suited playing cards (see Future Features), but the symbol's very specific (the German suits have a style of their own)—I can work around that with character variants and different-language versions, though.

Rock-Paper-Scissors: I honestly don't know why I didn't think of this! I'll probably do one set of hand gestures and another of objects, with one in the baseline and the other in a character variant.

Just got the OK from Travis Nichols, so yeah, I'll add Heckadeck icons in the future.

Wonderful! I’m so glad that he gave permission! I can’t wait to see them in the next Dicier update. 😁

It'll probably be the update after next—since I can't use my font design app until the license money comes in, the first upgrade will mostly be things that don't need me to draw any new symbols. After that will probably be a cards-focused update (including Heckadeck), then a dice-focused update, then things get a bit hazier.

I'm coming back to this with the next update and I just need to clear up a few things about the Heckadeck:

  • are there 2 talismans and 2 arrows per colour?
  • which suit combinations do the Travellers and Hunters have?

There are two arrows per colour. There are also two talismans per colour, not including the Omnihedron. 

The dual suits of the Travelers and Hunters are the same: 

  • Spades and Planets; 
  • Clubs and Acorns; 
  • Hearts and Clouds; and 
  • Diamonds and Knives; 

pairing the colours of Black with Green and Red with Blue.

Thanks!

Rock-paper-scissors icons are now in Dicier as of v1.5! The default icons are symbols (e.g. a sheet of paper, a pair of scissors) left-to-right, but there are character variants that let you turn them into hand gestures and/or flip them to face right-to-left.
