Farport

This is a fan art project released on 12 August 2022 to support the March of Dimes Charity. The point of the project was to explore early Magic, especially its design and production, and to explore the possibilities if different decisions had been made about the game. After researching and performing interviews about early magic, each step of design and production was emulated. This included designing cards with 1994 templates, printing large-stock style playtest cards and distributing them to a small number of testers, commissioning artwork, performing layout and collation, and printing and cutting the print run. The set design was based on a fan-set that Ryan designed in 1994 around the time of the release of The Dark. Over 25,000 cards were produced. $3,700 was raised for charity making Farport the #7 March of Dimes fundraiser at the time. There was a prerelease at OddConn '22 on 31 July 2022.
