  1. Thanks for the interest! There currently isn't any kind of central card list by me because that was something I always found fun and exciting in the past. Seeing a brand new card for the first time opening a pack or in a batter with a friend was really fun. If people that have cards want to work together and compile a list they can, but I want to avoid publishing a list. With that said, I understand there is a balance between mystery and being blind so if not having a list is really a big problem with this, I can work on something.

    Helping with card design would be great if you want. When making the initial batch of cards, I ended up changing how the stats worked and the numbers they used many times. Trying to combine balance and diversity is actually really hard and my game is pretty simple.

    If you have any questions about mechanics, I can try to clarify it.

  3. I will get your order done asap. I have been busy so I am coming on now (time for the tournament for those interested).

    As for mechanics, is there anything in particular that is confusing or did I just butcher my explanation?
  4. I'll make sure to pay tomorrow evening. As for the mechanics and how you explained them, I think you did fine, but some parts were a little confusing and it could be clearer. Things like the augments and minions are something that was just thrown at us, which I suspect some people were fine with, but there should a separate section to describe these types of cards.

  5. Please tell me this is still a thing? It sounds like yu-gi-oh all over again, I am excited! Is that arena still working? If not I'll kick that gym leaders butt (as long as it doesn't turn out to be Runder, then I got a /pvp problem :D) and we'll sort it out!

    So I'd like 3 starter packs (3k), a booster pack (500r), a super booster (I feel awesome @ 800r), AND....

    I need that special card :) 200r. No, I need 2! :D

    That makes, according to my calculations.. 3,000 (starter) + 1,000 (super boost + card) + 500 + 200 = 7500r. 8k 10k No, don't argue, my math skillz never failed me :p After 3 guesses I know I got it right :D

    Can you somehow separate the starting packs bit (I can't rule out to have missed the details on the first post)? One of those is meant as a gift (give 'm a gift, then crush 'm at the games :eek:).

    Although true, but... With all due respect: who'd care? :D Staff (mods) are regular players too, what gives me the guarantee that they won't somehow get special cards here for being staff? Wait: JK is contrib, the others are staff. AAAhhh, so THAT's what that forum was for :p

    <now runs away like crazy!!> :D

    Sorry,sorry, sorry....!!!

    Nah, but seriously... What I know for sure: I'm spending money on stuff and it remains to be seen how much fun this is going to be. When I challenge other players: same. And we can all see up front that we'd stand no chance against SkareC because he'd buy the whole roster :D

    But what's the problem? Sometimes a little unfairness can be more fun than all the statically laid out rules which are sometimes so static that they don't even allow for any creativity because.. them rules and such.

    Sometimes people should realize that the rules only get you so far; there comes a time where you have to take your own responsibilities.

    I don't mean any offense, but I think "staff approved" is overhyped these days. I mean.. Casino's are all legal here ("staff approved") and it sometimes causes quite a ruckus (where I can often sympathize with the players), because some players don't know any better (PG rated anyone?). If that's all ok (players gambling their money away) then why shouldn't this?

    I know up front what I'm getting myself into, so should other players.

    Sorry if this came over as a little hostile, but... that gambling stuff can get to me. I don't get it why such potential drama magnets are "staff approved" and other ideas which are just meant for fun can sometimes get shot down due to lack of staff approval.

    At least JK doesn't try to milk us dry of our rupees, which is more I can say for most - if not all - staff approved casino's.

    ok, ok, I'll get my coffee now :D

    And raise my participation too ;)

  6. This seems cool!

    How did I not see this before?

    Trading card games have always seemed interesting to me, but in real life I never got into it.
    When I was younger, I tried creating a game myself a couple of times, but I never got people other than my siblings to join, so it wasn't very interesting.
    Trying it on EMC seems like a good idea (I think I've seen it tried before), and I hope it works out.

    I'd like a starter pack, for now.
    I want to see what I get first, perhaps chat with somebody else who plays (Shel? :D), and then see if I want to acquire any booster packs.

  8. One of my Dr. Duck cards says it is a Monster instead of a Warrior. Do these two terms mean the same thing?

    I find it a shame the cards aren't numbered. I created a spreadsheet where I plan to document all of the cards I come across, but it would've been nice if the cards had a number assigned so I could see where I have gaps and such.
    Also, if new cards may get released once, it'd be interesting to be able to see how long the cards have been around for judging by their number.

    Anyway, I'm going to try figure out the rules now, as so far, I don't feel like I completely grasp it.
  9. Do you mean your own defense? The opponent's defense would make more sense to me.


    Does healing bring you up to a maximum of your original health or could you get unlimited HP? Anyway, I don't really see why you'd attack a warrior knowing that they would get healed by it... all stats are open, right?




    How big is your deck allowed to be?

  10. That would be an accident. The two mean the same thing. Originally, they were called monsters (that is the name of the file I have them in) but I switched to warriors because the Ocean King isn't really a monster but a human. Any card sold from now on will have that corrected.

    I didn't even think of numbering them. If you are working on a spreadsheet feel free to give them their own numbers. Player documentation might be the only way to see when a card was originally released.

    The defense stats would be for the warrior getting attacked. Attack is for the warrior attacking. Healing will max out at the warriors normal amount. No gaining health infinitely or making a card OP by healing it to crazy levels. You can walk in and play with a deck of any size. This is balanced by the fact that you can only play 3 warriors in a match and are limited in the number of augments and minions a warrior can have. Someone with infinite cards can't use all of them.

    Thanks for asking these questions. I will be clarifying and improving the rules in the OP soon. If someone with more TCG experience has some suggestions, I am open to them.

  11. I haven't caught anyone online available to play yet, unfortunately.
  12. I played it with Aya earlier this morning and well, we had fun but it was a bit tricky to become familiar with the rules and all:



    We both kept the website open and also kept taking out (and putting back!) cards to make sure we knew what they did. I think there's some room for improvement here, and I already briefly talked to JK about this. Right now I'm looking into options to build a bit of an automated (redstone) arena. Right now I'm experimenting with options, in both single player as well as on the Empire (like using the preview signs).

    And Aya and me are even looking into something different (but very much related), but that has to remain a secret for now :)

  13. That's cool, thanks! :)
  14. I finally got around to writing the rules in a better way. Everything is the same, I just clarified it. See the OP for the new rules.

  15. Fun fact: both Aya & me have dedicated a whole vault page to this game (seriously) :)

  16. I totally forgot about this! I'd like two starter packs and one booster pack, please.

    I'll pay 2,500r as soon as I log in.
  17. Nice job on clarifying the rules! Still need to find someone to play with...

  19. Well I'm on randomly, though typically evenings.

    You still haven't picked up your cards.
