A few of the recent posts I've seen here were about custom jokers, so I figured I'd share mine and ask others here. It doesn't have to be drawn out, but if you ever spent some time thinking about one, I'm interested to hear about it! Speaking of, here is what mine is about:

I made some fan art jokers recently, and I wanted to share the template I created for others to use. I couldn't find a post that already had a template and stuff, so I hope this is helpful. You have to have GIMP (or other editors that can open .xcf) to use it, but GIMP is free and cool.

Joker Template I made: https://switzerville.itch.io/balatro-joker-template Use notes: If you draw the joker pixel perfect, scale them up by X8 and paste them over the example. The text box will give you a warning. You will have to use the "Drop Shadow" effect in the filters tab to get the shadow under the Joker's name if you want that.

Reference sheet of all the jokers + goodies: https://www.spriters-resource.com/pc_computer/balatro/sheet/222136/ This ref sheet has the correct pixel size and colors, so it's super easy to just pull from.

I built some of this stuff basically from scratch, so it's not %100 accurate to the real, official game art, if you're a stickler. Just thought it would be helpful. If you do use this, please tag me or link to the template, so other people can find and use it. Thanks!

I am very seriously asking. I picked up the game couple of days ago and I've been playing and enjoying it quite a lot. However, I am baffled by the Wheel of Fortune tarrot card. At this point I have unlocked like 80% of the collection and won the game multiple times, I purchased and triggered the card probably close to a hundred times and never saw it trigger. Other luck based cards, even the ones with much smaller odds (the banana joker, for example) work just fine. Is it a prank card made by the developer or something along those lines?

Attention all Balatro players (on PC), if you haven't tried the Pokermon mod yet drop what you're doing and give it a shot: https://www.nexusmods.com/balatro/mods/58

It completely overhauls the game. Aside from making it Pokemon themed, it adds completely new mechanics like evolving jokers and and Pokemon-themed items. At max evolution, many pokemon can be enhanced with power cards that work on specific elements of Pokemon.

The balance is a bit wild (as in easy to break), but this mod truly deserves more love. It's very, very fun and fresh. Anybody else playing it?

I hate getting this hand so fucking much
