darkguy00000 Posted April 6, 2007 Report Share Posted April 6, 2007 Who here has created (at one time or another) a TCG? Did it end up dying (ie. you just forgot about it?)? If you have, what other TCGs influenced you? What NON-TCG's influenced you (say, TCG based on movies, games, you know)? Also, do you have any example cards? A website, perhaps? A tutorial? How does your game work? Just curious who else has tried to make one. I myself have a game, based on... a lot of random stuff (but it's all mine, so its' not based on any movies etc., just stuff I thought up), but the works are based on both Yugioh and Magic: the Gathering. I created a wiki for it, and when I've finished posting the rules, I might give out the link to it. So, who else has attempted a TCG of their own? PS. This topic isn't to steal peoples' ideas for my own. Its' to see what some people have come up with, and how far they got into it (or are still going). PPS. TCG = Trading Card Game, like YGO.

TotalObelisk Posted April 6, 2007 Report Share Posted April 6, 2007 I did make one (actually several, but only one actually survived). A bit like Yugioh, only you use 5 Treasure cards instead of life points, and the first to lose all their treasures loses. Also each player has a special card known as a deck leader that can't be summoned normally, the different cards look like this: Treasure card:http://img88.imageshack.us/img88/3167/treasurevl8.jpg Guardian card (monster):http://img405.imageshack.us/img405/8126/lightningheroee9.jpg Weapon card:http://img486.imageshack.us/img486/5250/magictesttb5.jpg Spell card:http://img371.imageshack.us/img371/8450/weaponstestyw1.jpg It's still a work in progress, my brother says it's too much like Yugioh, but everything has to come from something. Heck I've even started writing a story on it (I'm that obsessed). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
darkguy00000 Posted April 7, 2007 Author Report Share Posted April 7, 2007 Hah... in fact, that Treasure idea also features in "Duel Masters", where they are called "shields". About the story: hehe, I created my game BASED on a story I wrote (more of a series of short novels, 40-50 pages, split into four trilogies.), so I guess you're doing it the other way around. I'll try to get around to posting images, mine consist of (free)hand-written drawings, and my writing is bordering on illegible. (I'm such a bad artist, most of my "Army" cards consist of their banners, and "Tactics" and "Strategy" cards are blue and red arrows :).) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TotalObelisk Posted April 7, 2007 Report Share Posted April 7, 2007 Something like that, ony Treasure cards have health, and you just need t destroy them and not make an attack on the player. I just took the best elements from my favourite TCGs and crammed them in, tweeked them and made them better (yugioh, Duel master, magic the gathering) The story I'm writing is something like 70 pages long so far.

darkguy00000 Posted April 7, 2007 Author Report Share Posted April 7, 2007 :? Thats' the thing, I can't remember. Darnit :(. On the plus side, tried a test run of my game. Nice, but it takes too long... need to come up with how to draw cards and, most importantly, how to WIN first :(. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TotalObelisk Posted April 7, 2007 Report Share Posted April 7, 2007 That's kinda like my Treasure idea, 5 treasures each with 1000 HP, so the equivilant of 5000 LP (which is kinda usleless cause no smart people will pack their decks with monsters that have less than 1000 offensive points) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Frunk Posted April 8, 2007 Report Share Posted April 8, 2007 Anybody else attempt a TCG? I know Maddog did' date=' because I remember reading the tutorial he had online.[/quote'] To get to Maddog's card game, go on to his profile and click on the 'www' website link, from what I can remember, that leads you to a website he set up for said TCG. From what I can remember, I believe this game was called 'Final Balt', or something along those lines. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TotalObelisk Posted April 8, 2007 Report Share Posted April 8, 2007 I've got the rules for mine written down, but they're a bit hard to understand and I can't get them on the internet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
