~British Soul~ Posted August 6, 2011 Report Share Posted August 6, 2011 So i wanted to make my own TCG for some time now, but i haven't been able to succeed. I have had many ideas (which i won't post, since this ith the third attempt) I RE-POSTED THE THREAD BECAUSE I DIDN'T WANT TO NECROBUMP [b]Rules:[/b] - The aim of the game is to reduce your opponents Health to 0. Each player starts off with 100 health. - If your opponent doesn't control any creatures you cannot reduce their health with your creatures. - Decks can have 40-50 cards. Each player can run up to 4 copies of each card in their decks - One creature can be played a turn, outside card effects - Each player has 2 rows of creatures, a front row and back row. each row can hold 5 creatures. - Only Creatures on the Front row can attack, unless a card effect states that a creature can attack from the back row. - Creatures can only attack other creatures on the front row, unless a card effect states that they can attack back row creatures - If a player runs out of cards in their deck you can pay 5 health to select 10 cards in your discard pile and shuffle them to form a new deck. [b]Setup:[/b] - Both players draw 5 cards from their decks - Both players roll a die, to see who goes first, the largest number goes first There are 2 types of cards. Creatures and Support. [b]Creatures:[/b] - Each creature has a set amount of Health. (Usually between 15 and 25) - Each Creature has a Power Value and a Block Value. When a creature is in combat, you take the Block Value of the creature you are attacking and halve it (rounded down) you then subtract that from the attacking creatures power value and the total is subtracted on the enemy creatures health. (i.e: Power Amp - Power: 15 is attacking Natural Oak Walker Block: 11 (11/2 = 5.5 -> 5, 15 - 5 = 10) Natural Oak walker loses 10 Health.) When a creature loses all of their health they are destroyed and their Block Value is subtracted from the controllers Health. - Creatures are split into Classes (i.e Human, Fire, Aqua) - There are many types of creatures: [b]Regular Creatures[/b] [b]Tag Team Creatures[/b] (they team up with other creatures on the battlefield) [b]Blocker Creatures[/b] (Attacks are redirected to these creatures) [b]Hybrid Creatures[/b] (can be more than 1 Class) [b]Support:[/b] - There are 2 types of Support, [b]Regular Support[/b] and [b]Conditional Support[/b] [b]Regular Support[/b] can be played right away, whereas [b]Conditional Support[/b] requires certain conditions to be met before you can use it. [b]Turn Structure:[/b] - Draw Stage - draw a card from your deck - Check Stage 1 - you check the field for any effects that can be played - Main Stage - play creatures, activate support cards - Combat Stage - where creatures go to combat - Check Stage 2 - check the field to see if any effects can played - End Stage - end the turn [spoiler=set #1 - Base Set 50/50] Set 1 introduces 50 cards - Each pack contains 7 cards 3 [b]U-Rares[/b] 7 [b]S-Rares[/b] 10 [b]Rares[/b] 30 [b]Commons[/b] Justice Mage [BASE1] - [b]S-Rare[/b] Class: Mage Heatlth: 19 Power: 12 Block: 6 This Creature can attack Creatures on the Back Row.

Umbra Posted August 6, 2011 Report Share Posted August 6, 2011 On the combat system: In the words of Elan of OOTS-fame, "And that didn't strike you as needlessly complicated?" Why implement a rule that in essence makes the game more complicated? Not to mention that it devalues the block value, seeing as how odd-numbered BVs are pretty much equal to their one-lower counterpart. (11=10 for all battle purposes.) Why not just go Power - Block and then subtract the health that way? I also don't see why you make all Dwarves Elves. Seems a bit contradictory. Link to comment

[/quote] *made changes* because if i done it that way, weaker creatures would do no damage on walls or creatures with higher defense, i'll test it that way though to see how well it does Link to comment
Umbra Posted August 6, 2011 Report Share Posted August 6, 2011 Isn't that kind of the purpose of walls? Weaker creatures aren't supposed to be breaking them down. Link to comment
~British Soul~ Posted August 6, 2011 Author Report Share Posted August 6, 2011 ...yes but it's much more fun having those creatures attack walls Link to comment
Umbra Posted August 6, 2011 Report Share Posted August 6, 2011 What's the purpose of walls if anyone can break them down? What are they, styrofoam? Link to comment
~British Soul~ Posted August 6, 2011 Author Report Share Posted August 6, 2011 walls would take hits harder, the other creatures, others are just bulky, good BV, but not high enough for it to be a wall Link to comment
~British Soul~ Posted August 11, 2011 Author Report Share Posted August 11, 2011 BUMP [spoiler=misc.] [b]Rules:[/b] - [u]Decks can have 50-60 cards. [/u]– 50 is the minimum and 60 is the maximum. - [u]You can have 4 copies of each card in your Deck, unless the banlist dictates that you have to have a certain amount of cards in your deck.[/u] - This means a person can have up to 4 copies of a card, and if the banlist (which haven’t been designed yet) says you can only have 1 copy of a card in your deck, that means you are only allowed up to 1 copy in your deck - [u]In the deck you are allowed up to 8 Category 3 Creatures, up to 12 Category 2 Creatures and at least 15 Category 1 Creatures[/u]. – This means a deck must contain 15 Category 1 Creatures, but you don’t have to have any Category 2 or Category 3 Creatures though. - [u]The aim of the game is to reduce your opponents Health Points to 0. Each player starts off with 100 Health Points.[/u] – Health Points are important to a player and there are many ways that Health Points can be reduced: - If your opponent does not control any creatures on their side of the Battlefield, then Creatures you control can attack your opponents Health Points dead on. In this case, the amount of damage received is equal to the Damage Value written on the card (See; Creatures) - [u]During the turn, only 1 Creature can be placed onto the battlefield normally[/u] (outside Extra Summons, See: Terminologies) - Each player has 2 rows of creatures, a front row and back row. each row can hold 5 creatures. - Only Creatures on the Front Row can attack, unless a card effect states that a creature can attack from the Back Row. - Creatures on the Front Row can only attack other creatures on the Opponent’s Front Row, unless a card effect states that they can attack Back Row creatures - If a player runs out of cards in their deck then they automatically lose. [b]The Battlefield:[/b] - The Battlefield is split into 2 sides, and each side is identical - On one side of the Battlefield there are 7 different zones (The Front Row, The Back Row, The Support Zone, The Environment Zone, The Exiled Zone, The Cemetery Zone, and The Deck Zone.) - The Front Row can hold 4 Creatures and this is where the main battling takes place. - The Back Row also holds 4 Creatures and the creatures on this Row cannot attack unless a card effect states that a creature can attack from the Back Row Creatures on the Front Row can attack other creatures on the opponent’s Front Row, unless a card effect written on the card states that a creature on the Front Row can attack a creature on the opponents’ Back Row. If during the turn, a player ends up with no creatures on their Front Row, then their Back Row creatures are vulnerable. - There is also an Environment Zone. this is where Environment cards are placed - There are also 6 Support Zones, this is where Permanent Supports, unactivated Conditional Supports, Regular Supports and Regular Equipment cards are placed. [b]Setup:[/b] - Both players draw 5 cards from their decks at the start of the game. - Both players roll a die, to see who goes first, the largest number goes first OR they can do Rock Paper Scissors, it’s up to the players to choose. [b]How to win?:[/b] - Reduce the Health Points of your opponent to 0. - If a player runs out of cards in their Deck. - By various win conditions on card effects. There are many types of cards. [u]Creatures: [/u]Creatures are the main types of cards used. Without them there is no way a player can win. [u]Support:[/u] These cards can help the player by either powering up their creatures (i.e Power Pack) or hindering other creatures/cards on the Battlefield (i.e Forest Fire) [u]Environment:[/u] These cards change the entire Battlefield, and each Environment card has different effects on different Creatures [u]Equipment:[/u] These cards can equip onto creatures on the battlefield, these can be regular equips or equip creatures. [b]Creatures:[/b] - Each Creature have different Categories (Category 1, 2 or 3) - Each Creature has a Power Value and a Damage Value. The Power Value is applied during combat. In all cases the creature with the highest Power Value wins, and the other creature is destroyed, and the destroyed creature's Damage Value is taken from the controller's Health Points (Example:) Power Amp (Power Value: 18, Damage Value 10) attacks Natural Bark Oak (Power Value: 12, Damage Value: since Power Amp has the higher Power Value, Natural Bark Oak is destroyed and the controller of Natural Bark Oak loses 8 Health Points. - Creatures are split into Classes (i.e Human, Fire, Aqua) - There are many types of creatures: [b]Regular Creatures[/b] [b]Tag Team Creatures[/b]: they team up with other creatures on the battlefield [b]Blocker Creatures[/b]: Each Blocker gains 2 Block Counters, and attacks are redirected at Blocker Creatures. If Blocker Creatures would be destroyed, 1 Block Counter can be removed instead [b]Hybrid Creatures[/b]: can be more than 1 Class, (i.e Fire/Aqua) [b]Support:[/b] - There are 2 types of Support, [b]Regular Support[/b] and [b]Conditional Support[/b] [b]Regular Support[/b] can be played right away. Some Regular Support cards could have a cost to use them or a side effect to using them [b]Conditional Support[/b] requires certain conditions to be met before you can use it. for Example you can't use Forest Fire unless you have a Fire Class Creature on the field [b]Environment Cards:[/b] [b]Turn Structure:[/b] - [u]Draw Stage[/u] – the turn player draws 1 card from their deck - [u]Pre-Main Stage[/u] - the turn player can check the Battlefield for any effects that can be played or if any win conditions are met - [u]Main Stage[/u] – the player can play creatures on the Battlefield, and can activate support cards - [u]Combat Stage[/u] – this is where creatures on both sides of the Battlefield go to combat - [u]Check Stage[/u] - the turn player can check the field to see if any effects can played or if any win conditions are met - [u]End Stage[/u] - end of the turn [/spoiler] [spoiler=Assignment stuff] [b][u]Secret Key Cryptography[/u][/b] A Secret Key in Cryptography is sometimes referred to as Symmetric Key Cryptography. It is a more traditional way of cryptography in which it uses a single key for both encryption and decryption. As well as encryption and decryption of messages, Secret Keys also deal with authentication of messages. There is however one big, main problem with using Secret Key Cryptography, and that is The main problem with secret-key cryptosystems is getting the sender and receiver to agree on the secret key without anyone else finding out. This requires a method by which the two parties can communicate without fear of eavesdropping. However, the advantage of secret-key cryptography is that it is generally faster than public-key cryptography. The most common techniques in secret-key cryptography are [i]block ciphers[/i] (see Question [url="http://www.rsa.com/rsalabs/node.asp?id=2168"]2.1.4[/url]), [i]stream ciphers[/i] (see Question [url="http://www.rsa.com/rsalabs/node.asp?id=2174"]2.1.5[/url]), and message authentication codes.

The Dark Knight Posted August 11, 2011 Report Share Posted August 11, 2011 Do you have any kind of banlist yet for the first set? Link to comment
~British Soul~ Posted August 11, 2011 Author Report Share Posted August 11, 2011 no, i'm not planning on doing a banlist yet Link to comment

It seems like a good-looking game, and I'm usually apprehensive about custom TCG's being posted in Written Cards. Would it be cool if me and some of my friends tested it? Link to comment
~British Soul~ Posted August 11, 2011 Author Report Share Posted August 11, 2011 go ahead, but don't treat it as yours though Link to comment
The Dark Knight Posted August 14, 2011 Report Share Posted August 14, 2011 Right, so I tried it out with my friends yesterday. If you do a banlist, Cemetery Swap would probably be your best bet to get rid of. I had 2 (1 in hand, 1 in discard) and a Wish of the Draw and I with that I picked up my entire deck. Also, I think block values should mean a little more and there should be a better reason to not just fill your deck with the most powerful creatures you can get. Link to comment
