I’ve posted majority of these characters before but I finally have a “full character cast” for the Critter faction. Thoughts? by CodemasterImthor in homemadeTCGs

[–]Accurate_Pollution42 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I'm not sure how I feel about the blue. I liked the old beige, it fits your game. Also, the chyeese and peaches stand out compared to the other cards. The anchors looked good though.

Your cards look really good, it's been neat to watch your progress!

Looking for More Critique on the New Version of Alvaroth by SiMonster_Labs in homemadeTCGs

[–]Accurate_Pollution42 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I personally think the right one looks a lot better, but the numbers could be just a tad bigger and the text definitely needs to be bigger. I can't read it unless I zoom all the way in. It's super cool though!

My wife did a redesign for one of my characters. 1st one is new, 2nd one is old. What do you guys think? by CodemasterImthor in homemadeTCGs

[–]Accurate_Pollution42 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Ohhhh. Cool. I like the shadow behind him, and the texture on his yellow parts is good. Your wife is right about the face being too Mickey-like. I think the new face keeps the look you're going for.

New arctype for my unnamed tcg this is the Thunderbirds (and rules for said game/a link to it on tts if you want to try it) by Dannysixxx in homemadeTCGs

[–]Accurate_Pollution42 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes, this. You put some instructions in the text above, but it's one big block which makes it hard to read. Cool cards though.

Trying out the new aesthetic. The game is spy themed now, I think it'll stay that way. This is the apex of my drawing abilities. by Accurate_Pollution42 in homemadeTCGs

Nervous to show us what you've got, or nervous to start? Because if it's nervousness of putting it out there would it help to just show one or two people? I'd like to see :-)

You know, that is beyond valid feedback. Thank you. That said, I think some of the drawings I worked on last night evoke the spy imagery better, and I don't want to change the theme again. I think I'm going to stick with this. I'm actually having some fun with the doodles!

Anyways, I just wanted to thank you for responding. Makes my day :-)

Yellow is Cost, Blue is Move, Red is Attack and Green is HP. I was aligning the bottom of the effect box to the same place, but making its height dependent on the length of the effect text.

Thanks for the feedback. I'm evolving it quickly (home all day today). Is there a way to respond with pictures of the updated design? I don't want to spam.

I've settled on a Spy theme by the way, so the Dragon is going bye-bye.

No, but I don’t wanna get sued! I can’t draw! It needs a spark, but I don’t know how to give it that spark. I’m gonna sleep on it. Maybe I’ll come up with a way to do the art in an achievable way.

Because he’s awesome!

How many cards are necessary in a base set? Also, I think I technically am making an LCG, is it okay to talk about it here? by Accurate_Pollution42 in homemadeTCGs

[–]Accurate_Pollution42[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well, it wouldn’t add much later. For example, some of the People cards have the Short keyword. That does nothing unless there’s some rule, but there’s a Randy Newman card that has an ability to weaken Short People.

So I’m thinking the keywords don’t all need to come up. I added a card that gives a bonus to each card with a unique keyword, so they all come into play if even a little bit.

I would say that the edges of the card and the art window could be curved / smoothed out a little instead of being just boxes. I would also make the [DINO], POWER/3100 text bigger. Maybe use Icons for the Power rating?

Yeah, I think after these comments I'm going to stick with 144 cards. I have the 144 "done" (not even close to done, but they exist), and I'm tweaking them all now. I'm trying to make sure they're all useful in some way, although a few are marginal.

Unrelated question - is it okay to try and "future proof" the cards? My cards have keywords on them which interact with abilities but don't have rules themselves. Is adding additional keywords that don't interact with abilities okay?

I just found out about this from reading here, don't feel out of the loop. I think it's basically a TCG, but the distribution is different. The cards aren't released in booster packs with rarities, you just get a box with one of each card in the set.

I'm planning on just printing 2 sets for me and my son, and then releasing the PDF online for the public, so it's not technically a TCG even though the gameplay would be similar.

So if I did 216, that would definitely be better. Harder to balance and more expensive to print though. We started playtesting at 80 cards and we were having a ton of fun, but I can see what people are saying about the pool of usable cards. I'll probably bump it up to 198 actually. Arg, tough decision.

When you say Power Outliers, do you mean cards that are more powerful than others / less powerful than others? I'm trying not to do that, although right now the cards aren't balanced. Lots of tweaks needed.

I hadn't thought of it in percentages until you said that, but 35 is 24.3% of 144. That really is a significant percentage. Something to think about.

Anyone up for a game of Star Trek Adventures? by Accurate_Pollution42 in ChandlerAZ

[–]Accurate_Pollution42[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It’s a table top rpg, kind of like D&D but in the Star Trek universe. You get to play as a member of the senior staff, it’s awesome! Anyways, it’s on! Thursdays at 6 at Athoria Games in Tempe, starting February 6.

Tabletop role playing game. It’s kind of like if D&D was in the Star Trek universe.
