       An eclectic chess variant set

       Hi there. I'm a French author known for my books on
       games'history (history.chess.free.fr) but I'm also a CV
       enthusiast. I plan to make sets to play a bunch of chess
       variants. The idea will be to have 3 sets.
       First set will be a regular chess set with the 2x16 standard
       Staunton pieces.
       Second set will be named "Meta-set" and will have 2x16 pieces: 1
       Marshall, 1 Cardinal, 1 Lion, 1 Eagle, 2 Cannons, 2 Elephants, 2
       Camels, 2 Prince and 4 additional Pawns. That will be suited to
       play many favorites CVs.
       Third set will be the "Tera-set" for those who like very large
       CVs or playing historical ones (Grant Acedrex, Timur, etc.). It
       will have also 2x16 pieces: 2 Bows, 2 Wolfs, 2 Giraffes, 2 War
       Machines (Dabbaba), 1 Rhino, 1 Buffalo, 2 additional Princes, 4
       additional Pawns. I believe that this will provide enough
       variety to play most of the funny CVs for 2-players. At least to
       start with.
       I would like to develop pieces in the Staunton-spirit, well
       balanced between abstract and figurative designs, ideally that
       can be fabricated both by wood-turning or by 3D printing. Anyone
       interested in this project who could help me? Every talent could
       be helpful.
