Hey folks. I wanted an easier way to explore the full library of Rising Star cards.
So I made a publicly viewable Airtable base (desktop recommneded)!
In the game, you only really get one "view," which is an alphabetical, unsearchable, graphical list of the cards—grouped by type. This works for most cases, but those with analytical aspirations or nuanced statistical questions do not have a simple path. Until now!
Airtable, if you're not familiar, is like Google Sheets with all sorts of bells 'n' whistles 'n' colours. If you don't want all this UX/UI stuff in the way of that sweet, sweet data, you can grab a CSV version for yourself:
Before I get into some use cases, here's the data I've inputted so far, for every card:
If time and ambition allow, I'll aim to add more to this over time. I do anticipate that others (including Rising Star itself) may one day develop something that makes this whole thing redundant, so assume that this is as in depth as it will get!
| I will keep the list updated when new cards come out, so long as a better tool hasn't been published 🙂 |
Here are some ideas on what you can do.
The configuration below groups cards first by "Strategy," looks only at Rares and Epics in the People category, and then sorts by the Skill Stat.
In the next example, we've grouped by Luck Class, focused on Guitar Lessons, then sorted by Luck. This reveals the opportunity in the Crafted Guitars—at a glance you can that there are several craftables that are way better than Epics!
I've created a few 🔒 locked views that act as demos of other things you could want to look at, using combos of groupings, filters, and sorts. When you visit the Airtable, you'll see these uneditable configurations on the lefthand menu:
Rarity-Type. Demonstrates a double grouping. First it's broken into Rarity, then Type. At a glance, you see that there are currently 75 Common People cards and 71 Common Instruments, but only 4 Common Vehicles.
The Specific Sort/Filter/Group Example is just that—a somewhat arbitrary example of all three tools in action.
Lessons groups by Luck Class, excludes Unlisted and Drunks, and sorts by Luck.
There are tons of ways to play with this data, so get in there and explore for yourself!
I'll likely be using this to help me build a ton of card pages in the new Rising Star Wiki, which you can visit here (use an adblocker or Brave browser!!), or read more about here.
Still haven't gotten into Rising Star yet? Better get on the train soon—the user count just passed 5,000 recently and seems to be accelerating. Get in before it really blows up!
