121092 Posted November 25, 2013 Report Share Posted November 25, 2013 So I've been working on a card game that I'd like to introduce to a TCG company such as Konami, Bandai, ect.; however I'd like to hear comments and suggestion before I even attempt my presentation. I will include below a few sample cards and try to explain the general concept of the game. I designed the game 'Prophecy' to be fast paced, targeting an audience of peoples from ages 8+. The layout is basically full-out warfare. By this I mean that In order to win the game you either have to defeat your opponent's general card or destroy every creature on the playing field. The creature has a set power number (0-25). Your General will be marked by a crown stamp and have +5 added to its power number. When one creature strikes another with a lower power number, the struck creature is killed and sent to the discard pile. There are 5 card types right now (Dragons, Angels, Knights, Beast and Spirits) of 11 elements (Fire, water, thunder, wind, nature, earth, ice, metal, light, shadow and dreams). But there may be more types and elements with different sets. In fact I was thinking of making a set with types 'sin' and 'redemption' (no, i'm not religious, just thought of some good art I could make to go along with those elements). On this type of creature its written in runes and in the more modern latin. It reads "Dragus ab chalbys" or "Dragon of Steel". And yes, I'd have a guide for that. [Spoiler=Creature Card] [/spoiler] As you may have noticed on the top right, there are three strange looking symbols. The are the sigils required to use option cards and spell cards. Creatures of different power numbers are given different amounts of sigils, but creature with numbers 1-15 are given three sigils. After a sigil is used for a spell or option, II can no longer be used again. [spoiler=Option Card] [/spoiler] Here is and option card. It may require a single sigil or another requirement to use such as type or element. It is temporary unless the option reads the word "skill". Then if is attached to the particular creature that's using it. Unlike spells, shown below; which require multiple sigils to use. These may come from one or more creatures and don't even have to come from the creature(s) it may pertain to. [spoiler=Spell Card] [/spoiler] And if you don't have the right sigils required to use a spell or option, then you may use a sigil card to attach to a creature and give it the shown sigil. [spoiler=Sigil Card] [/spoiler] Now I'm really going to tweak the concept of these a little more, but here is what I call a "Prphecy" card. I basically sets up a limitation on what types of cards can be used after it is played. [spoiler=Prophecy Card] [/spoiler] I have this and more displayed on other webpages that I can give to anyone else interested. Please, tell me what you guys think. All comments, thoughts and suggestions are welcome. Thanks you! BTW this is not an advertisement. I'm only out to seek opinions and suggestions.

AzNPaladin Posted December 2, 2013 Report Share Posted December 2, 2013 Looks really really nice. I like it. I see a lot of potential in this game. Maybe you can implement where certain types/elements are weak against another, (I.E. - Fire is weak to water or Dragon are weak to Knights) and they lose powers if they attack/get attacked by a type/element stronger than them. Also, the "Creature Cards" should shows which type/element it is. Good luck with making this TCG. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Delibirb Posted December 2, 2013 Report Share Posted December 2, 2013 I'd beta test it. :) Though, Prophecy cards seem very powerful, how are they activated? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
121092 Posted December 3, 2013 Author Report Share Posted December 3, 2013 Thanks! I am actually in the process of putting a full deck online for ppl who'd like to try it out and making a how to play video on youtube :) And I was actually thinking of a way to use that type advantage system, though I dont know weather to put it on the card itself or just add it to the set of rules.

121092 Posted December 3, 2013 Author Report Share Posted December 3, 2013 Prophecy cards can be used at anytime throughout the game by either player; however there can only be one out at a time. Because of this, if a prophecy card is used while another is still out, the new card takes its place. I was also thinking of making either a cost of power or creatures' live to play them so that they're not op'd. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

121092 Posted December 3, 2013 Author Report Share Posted December 3, 2013 I shall do just that ^^ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
121092 Posted December 5, 2013 Author Report Share Posted December 5, 2013 Cards are easy to make but the ideas and concepts could take some time and thought. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
121092 Posted December 5, 2013 Author Report Share Posted December 5, 2013 I'm also looking for artists to help out with the creature design. And I thought of four new elements: Dream, Nightmare, Sin, and Grace. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AzNPaladin Posted December 6, 2013 Report Share Posted December 6, 2013 I'm also looking for artists to help out with the creature design. And I thought of four new elements: Dream, Nightmare, Sin, and Grace. I'm not a bad drawer, lemme PM you a pic that I can draw (Tell me what you want me to draw). And maybe some of the elements can be sub-elements of other elements (I.E. Nightmare is sub-element to Dark.) So cards that affect Dark element monsters also affect Nightmare, but cards that specify only Nightmare, Nightmare is the only element affected.

121092 Posted December 9, 2013 Author Report Share Posted December 9, 2013 Well the elements themselves would already be like sub-types so I think that would be a little more confusing going down the chain of command. But yeah that would be cool if you'd like. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
121092 Posted December 11, 2013 Author Report Share Posted December 11, 2013 I'm also taking suggestions on other types or elements anyone can think of. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
121092 Posted December 17, 2013 Author Report Share Posted December 17, 2013 I'm glad I've got a few volunteer artists now ^^ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blood Blood Posted December 18, 2013 Report Share Posted December 18, 2013 How about counter cards that can stop attacks or something like that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
121092 Posted December 18, 2013 Author Report Share Posted December 18, 2013 I could add that. Maybe I could set up action cards to three different colors. Blue for actions, red for skills and purple for counter cards. i'm gonna post some other cards soon to give you an idea of the image. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EpicBoss99 Posted December 22, 2013 Report Share Posted December 22, 2013 Honestly, I really like this Idea! It sort of reminds me of OverSoul by Artix Entertainment, but this is way different in its own creative way! Keep up the good work, man! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

coolspy74 Posted December 25, 2013 Report Share Posted December 25, 2013 What's this new card game do you speak of? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
121092 Posted December 25, 2013 Author Report Share Posted December 25, 2013 It's called prophecy. All the information about it is listed above. I'm still working on the card design and concept a little, but I think it's near completion. ^^ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zeppeli Gyro Supreme Posted January 3, 2014 Report Share Posted January 3, 2014 The concept is interesting, though you should really flesh out in the first post how the turns and such go to help make sense of it all. Also, having 11 elements and 5 types may be a bit ambitious to start, especially considering they also have the different kinds of sigils, meaning that you probably won't even use up all your options for cards in a single set (disregarding the different attack numbers and sigils, you already have 55 combinations of creature cards, and you're planning to add 10 more. I'm not saying that you can't do this, but it is going to make it rather difficult to create themes while at the same time having a variety of unique cards. It's usually a good idea to start simple, then you can expand as time goes on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's usually a good idea to start simple, then you can expand as time goes on. I've been actually thinking about holding back on the unique card style lately too. So I might just wait to see how the game starts out and make them 1 of a kind card special releases after the game takes off. Thanks for the input ^^ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
121092 Posted January 4, 2014 Author Report Share Posted January 4, 2014 Oh and now I'm adding new types and keeping the element number for now. I finally have a weekend off so I'll post the link of a how to play page in my sig. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
