To End the World: Card Game

[Ammokkx]

I'm going to wait to see a few cards before I settle on a theme, I want a feel for the game first.

[AngelofOctober]

And you know what I want. A deck of light and dark themes.

@Ammokkx

Yeah I been obsessively online looking for a TCG template without much success. Most of the templates want you to pay for them. Here I had this really cool idea to actually make it look like cards. And now I am either goin' to opt out of makin' cards. Or! Fuck 'round in Gimp.

Potion Card

Evolution Strain D - Devolve one of your opponents evolved units. Skip your next evolution phase. Cannot target leaders.

Is one card I am looking at.

Potion Card

Evolution Strain A - Evolve one of your units to the next higher power. Skip your next evolution phase. Cannot target your leader card.

It look much nicer with a border and some text underneath.

@Dogematix

Golems sound wicked awesome.

take a look at this guy

Let's work on the playstyle and the themes.

Disclaimer: I have not participated in a card game-oriented RP in over a decade.

While my interest is piqued, I’d love to learn about your premise a bit more before I commit to anything. There’s also the case of my current RP loadout, personal drama that has taken me off RPG (in terms of IC activity) for a good month or so, and re-energizing a creative void. With that said, I’ve read a few of the card game RPs onsite in the past, but I’ve never vocalized interest to “dust the rust off” so to speak. So, yeah, you have my attention.

Big maybe, init?

[OwO]

quick mock up. will do more.

As for me?

PLAYSTYLE: COMBO MAGE. FAST SPELLS. MAXIMUM CARD DRAW. BETTER TO BURN OUT THAN FADE AWAY.

STYLE: MAGES. MORE MAGES. EVEN MORE MAGES

[mickilennial]

Warriors of the World’s End once fought wars for their nations, faded into histories myths and legends.

OP

So are we going to be seeing mythic heroes in player decks? Like will Silverdawn be spawning Merlin or someshit? Because that kind of Fate Stay Night (but a card game?!?!) bullshit gets me all sort of tickled and excited.

@Inkarnate

You're always welcomed! I have a zero drama tolerance rule. I am a believer of compassion, and understanding. I rather people try to understand each other, then fight. There is no fun in fighting. Ruins the sport.

I was hoping the Warrior's of World End were things we made up in our own world. Rather than drawing exactly from history. I find that sort of thing kind of boring personally. But! I'm always willing to allow members to conjure up something. If it is done creatively of course I'll accept something like Merlin or Arthur or Robin Hood.

@SilverDawn

Omgawd! I love you. That looks amazing. -drools at the card-

Mages are always cool! Yeah let's do it!

@Inkarnate

LMAO! I should word that better, huh. I do not know how to word it. It's fine I suppose in that kind of world. Fate Stay is great!! But I was hoping to take inspiration from writing our own lore.

@TheRedWatcher

I would go with that personally. Inventing "Ancient heroes that changed the world through card magic only to be forgotten" feels more in keeping with the genre. Like how the none of the egyptian god cards in Yogioh were actual gods from mythology.

That's exactly what I was going for! Taking inspiration from that idea. :)

[OwO]

slightly better card that doesn't have an ugly font. just need to find a way to make the background more visually appealing.

[mickilennial]

Words are important!

I get the gist that you want to create fictional heroes/icons/etcetera to be at the center of the game rather than follow the module of interpretation of historical myths. It’s good to discuss things like tone, themes, and so forth before going into a collaborative project. I still am not completely sure how the ‘game’ will function yet, so I should focus on understanding the game over defining sets and heroes. Though, how much do we, as a group, want to focus on the duels? I’ve seen several approaches to the genre where the out-of-duel interactions are more important as opposed to the “dueling” being the most principal important factor. Will this have a school setting or a tournament setting or somewhere in-between? What is the hook, what brings the protagonists together?

Some key questions to look at.

@Inkarnate

1) The setting will be somewhere in between. Take pacing from other card game animes. There will be slice of life moments where the students can have down time, have dates maybe. There will be tournament arcs. And maybe even some fantasy adventure moments as well as they try to uncover the mysteries of the World Ends.

2) What brings the protagonist together is that they all acquire in some mystery way a World of End card. They are a card that exist nowhere in the original print of the cards that currently exist. That have mystical powers. That tie to them an ancient tale. They will acquire a Warrior of World End as an alternative persona, like a ghost that takes over a host body when they duel or when there is an adventure that is going on or some kind of connection.

@TheRedWatcher Do Warriors have to be Human? Because I was actually considering designing mine partially based on the Chinese fable of the white snake who attained a human form. Her leader unit would be her true form, while all her supporting units are just cast-off manifestations she's "molted." That being said, she'll probably have a playstyle based around lockdowns and ruthless attrition and being the last one left standing. Lots of counterspell type utilities to shut down enemy options, like preventing them from summoning or evolving units, and then sacrificing her own units for mutual destruction plays. Probably, her leader unit would get stronger the fewer cards are on the field, so she lets her own allies be destroyed so they can take her enemies with them - something like that.

@Feyblue

So you have somethings mixed around.

World of End cards are the Leader Cards

Warriors of End are the guardians who once held the leader cards

Warriors of End can be Humanoid if you like.

And I can make a lock down deck for you. No big deal. :)

World of End Cards will get more info here in a second. I am just workin' on lots of info.

[dreamingflowers]

Very interested!
Waiting to see how things will play out.

[Neo Is Delight]

We can further discuss your leaders and units. Because I like the idea that decks have themes. I'll also get a base character sheet up. Woo! This is exciting.

@TheRedWatcher

And you know what I want. A deck of light and dark themes.

@AngelofOctober

I demand an adorable theme. :p

@AngelofOctober

My curiosity drives me to ask: Do they all obtain these cards in different mystery ways? Or do they just wake up one day with them on their face like "what the hell? Where'd this come from?" Just a random example, as I'm highly doubting that's how it will actually happen xD

[mickilennial]

It would be quite comical if that was the case, though.

[TheRedWatcher]

@Neo Is Delight

Your character might get a mysterious card on her face. :P But every mysterious way will be different for the characters. Sure and absolutely something cute for you.

@Inkarnate

Riiiiiight
