Donation Guidelines
In able to keep Gleam running, we will need the members' help for being a part of this TCG by simply donating what we need; new decks to make. This will give the members the opportunity to donate image packs that they want made into decks for future releases.
Below are the guidelines for each donation type as well as the monthly limit in addition to the rewards the members will receive for each. To make or to send in a donation, simply head on over to the Donations thread for more information on how to donate. Please take note that before donating any deck, you must first claim them and be approved.
Monthly Limit: 5 per month
Exclusive Rules:
- Make sure that the images you're going to donate are 1) official art, 2) official screenshot, or 3) official photo.
- Donated images must be high quality and unedited because the cards are not small, so pixelated or discoloration on the images is very noticeable.
- Horizontal images are much preferred than vertical ones to avoid characters getting cropped just to fit our card templates.

But if you have the additional special deck donation skill, you can donate a total of 3 special decks in addition to 3 regular decks.
