Non-game cards

[distributive]

An endpoint for non-game cards, with a link to an image/set of images.

Suggested schema:

  title [string],
  text [string],
  images: {
    large [string]
    medium[string]
    small[string]
    tiny [string]
  },
  type [MetaCardType]
}

MetaCardType = [ gameAid, lore, information, art ]

Examples of each card type:

• gameAid - Basic action cards, mark cards, tag tracking area
• lore - Lore inserts
• information - Making a Run, Factions & Influence (any non-game card that explains something about the game)
• art - The first card in each set that contains an art from within the set (couldn't think of a better name)

We don't need every non-game card, but some (notably the basic action cards and the mark cards) would be good for people to be able to proxy.

how do you want people to proxy these via NRDB? Should we host these or link to pdfs with them?

[plural]

how do you expect these will be displayed/integrated on the site?

We should host these the same way we do regular card images

how do you expect these will be displayed/integrated on the site?

Don't know yet, but I think they should be
