Here she is! First one out is Caduceus, the first captain of the Anatomists Guild.
I am so happy to get to be part of this Fanmade project a little, and work with the creators to publish all the content about these cool new ballers!
If you haven’t seen them before, have a look at the first post about the Anatomists Guild!
DISCLAIMER: This is a fan made project that is not affiliated with SFG or the GBCP.
So, what do you think about Caduceus’s card? 😀
Really cool design with the Hiporatic Oath style, and interesting new iteration of the guild tokens. These “Diagnosis” tokens seem very powerful, but I fully expect the overall guild design to take that into account.
The rules text for diagnosis tokens:
Diagnosis
Friendly models attacking an enemy model suffering the Diagnosis condition gains +1 TAC.
Friendly character plays targeting a model suffering the Diagnose condition may use Bonus Time without spending MP.
Friendly guild models may spend 1 less MP to target a friendly model suffering the Diagnosis condition with the Encourage action.
We’ll be getting spoilers like these over the next couple of months, until all of the guild is revealed.
The crazy good stuff about this is that CultOf1s makes STL files for 3D printing as well, AND writes lore for the guild. All of which is found in post like this <3

The Cadaver’s Shadow
A single bead of sweat pooled above Caduceus’ brow. The eyes of her peers dissected her as she stood upon the pedestal of the simposeum. She knew its slight tilt all too well, so many bodies carved into for the sake of knowledge, blood of the tying spared by her hands in an endless battle to combat the ferryman’s icy grasp. The way liquids flowed to the left as they pooled at her feet as she lectured on proper technique. This time there was no body, no blood, no attending nurses.
The faces of older men and women numb to gore and viscera turned up in disgust at mere words. A second of breath coaxed the pool of sweat down her nose, flowing down her cheek in a mock-tear.
“My fellow surgeons, my Peers, I come to you with a proposition.” She stammered, “The guild as we know it is under attack, not in the way of staves and spears, no, we face a death to our practice through words and politics.”
the crowd paused, inquisitive looks plastering their faces.
”I have seen the tides of favour flowing, our supporters, our coin, being dragged by cold hands into the maw of the Morticians. We saw it with the Brewers in the conflict with the plague-ridden wretch of the Ratcatchers, they are building power, consolidating and cannibalising those around them. We must not let this fate befall us.” Confidence filled her voice, she felt like a preacher to their congregation, or maybe a coach to their team.
“I propose we participate in the games, get out onto the pitch and show the people of the free cities that we are not a footnote in the chronicles of history!”
“And how do you propose we do that?” An older woman interrupted.
Caduceus felt the momentum of her speech die on the table as fear clawed its way into her mind. Her hands fell back to her side as she searched for a rebuttal. The shadow of a pale man stared at her in memories, a dark figure who stained all who bore witness to him. His inky blackness clouded rationality, much like it did every time she felt the icy skin of a cadaver in her studies, or when she held a scalpel to a crucial artery. Rage burned away the fear as her mind dwelled in the blackness.
”I propose we make a team, we as scholars of the human body know how it works. We know how to immobilise, which muscles lead an action, are we not perfectly suited to compete?”
“And who amongst our ranks would be fit to lead such a team? Amongst those before you, there is no leader. Unless you wish to lecture on the pitch.” The raspy voice of a man sung from the audience, this time with a hint of petulance. ”I doubt any respectable player from any major guild would be willing to lend themselves to this position.”
silence fell over the simposeum yet again.
“I could lead them…” Caduceus Croaked. “And I have a few members in mind already…”
