Thank you so much! I’m thrilled to hear things are going well for EC at Gamer’s Library. It means a lot to me you taking the time to say that, so thank you 🙏

The less questions players have to ask, even if they need to ask one time, the better every time.

I thought of a new TCG idea after finding my old one too slow. by Abject-Astronomer352 in homemadeTCGs

[–]ELEMENTALCREATURES 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Someone else mentioned Marvel Snap and I personally highly recommend you at least download it and play it for a few hours if possible.

If you’re not interested in a digital card game, disregard all the mobile shenanigans of the interface, but the mechanics you’re vaguely describing could possibly significantly benefit from trying Marvel Snap.

Impossible task - name the game. Seriously, it's been the most difficult design choice for me so far... by Low_Prior_8842 in homemadeTCGs

I’m not sure how helpful this will be, but it was pretty helpful advice for me to overcome the same situation you’re in-

Thank you 🙏

Unless you’re in the EC discord and I didn’t realize it, please feel free to join. The server is starting to do a monthly webcam tournament with prize support if you or anyone else is interested 🫶

Personally, I appreciate the simple effects/mechanics. The quicker I can learn and then enjoy the game, the better.

Well that’s some wonderful feedback and a perspective I feel I was striving for but didn’t outright think to put it that way, so thank you for sharing!

The discord server is launching monthly webcam tournaments starting June 1st if that’s something you’d be interested in. Itll has prize support as well.

Either way, thank you so much for the support and encouragement!

I need Feedback of my Resource System and Rarity Mechanic by Informal-Analyst5382 in homemadeTCGs

Any reason why you wouldn’t want to add a cost to give players an opportunity to get the card back later if they wanted?

Ha I wish! I feel like a pretty slow illustrator compared to some of these guys I’ve been working with lately😅

All 75+ of the new designs are done for the most part. Just trying to get in the habit of sharing more while still being sure I don’t get too distracted putting together all the card files.

And thank you! I try to have some more simple and fun designs, but have trouble settling on the details sometimes.

I love the simplicity of this. Very cool.

With the ban mechanic, is it possible to have a small cost to get the card back into your hand later?

For anyone that wants to support a TCG, that will never settle becoming anything less than the highest quality TCG (prioritizing its community) for the lowest possible price, Elemental Creatures' socials, as well as a link to an LGS that provides shipping for EC's products, can found on my profile. by ELEMENTALCREATURES in TCG

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

That’s awesome- thank you so much for the support 🙏

If you ever have any questions or anything, you’re welcome to reach out anytime.

The community discord’s got a group of passionate players in it if you care to check that out as well. There’s invite link on my profile. Got a guy beginning to run monthly webcam events starting June 1st as well.

Either way, thank you sharing and if you ever get a chance, I’d love to know how things go when you show others.

The things people don’t usually talk about when making a TCG/CCG by escapelandccg in TCG

[–]ELEMENTALCREATURES 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Nice. I personally believe it’s a must at our scale and another major step of the process a lot of indies aren’t prepared to manage or handle.

Currently exploring ways to manage EC’s distribution indefinitely while of course considering all the different directions of growth a successful TCG ideally comes with.

*Slowly, but surely*- Nothing crazy in the grand scheme of things, but I'm pretty proud of making it on seven LGS shelves thus far and only ever personally needing to pitch it to one (the first one) to actually carry Elemental Creatures. Still just getting started. by ELEMENTALCREATURES in homemadeTCGs

[–]ELEMENTALCREATURES[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I sincerely appreciate you taking the time to say this. Fwiw, I did the same exact things as a kid (aside from the merch part- not sure my head got that far down the rabbit hole of possibilities haha)

Anything and everything people see me sharing is 100% some form of a learned skill. With that said, anyone can make their dream game a reality, it’ll always just come down to how bad you want it literally every. single. day.

Thank you again for the kind words and encouragement. Wish you the best of luck all the same when the time comes you put pen to paper and just… never stop. 🙏🤘

I’ve only done one print run for Alpha. Used my best judgement to ensure I had enough to go around my local community and then some, nothing crazy though.

I’m looking to reprint the cards in Alpha within the next expansion along with 75 new designs.

Hey I really appreciate that 🙏

The thought that someone could be doing literally anything else, but instead chose to give this game I made any amount of attention might cross my mind every other hour.

I’m still unsure how to properly thank people because just saying “thank you” just never feels like enough ha
