Title: Trading Card Games
Post by: DedlellyDeth on April 18, 2009, 04:57:19 PM
If you're male, not poor, in a high-income country, and not an oldster, you have played a trading card game. What TCGs have you played?

I played Pokemon when it was popular, nothing since then though. (I learned my lesson.)

I totally played the Pokemon game in my younger years. I even went to tournaments at a comic book store.

Didn't say I didn't apply.

I totally was into pokemon in a bigger way than most. Which is to say, I enjoyed playing it. Properly.

Used to play Yu-Gi-Oh in high shcool, but have since quit. I hate some of these new cards. I used to love plauying beffore Andro Sphinx and Sphinx Telia were intro'd. :( Plus most of the GX expansion cards are sad. I also played Magic the Gathering, but it's pretty expesive and my freind always kills me with his Promo cards. I wish there was a card game that you could play where every card could beat the other, not one where one ultra overpoerd one cstomps the heck out of you and by the time you buy it, the've made a better one. Yu-Gi-Oh was like that in the old days. Any card could win you the game if you had a good strategy.

Magic the gathering is great. I play it with my cousins once an year or so.

I just don't like how you have to attack. I wish I could actually select an attack without it being blocked Evey time. That's what traps/ instants are for.

Yeah, those were the good old days. D;

I came up with a TCG a few days ago.

FEATURES:

Front picture of monster in its natural habitat with the following translucently superimposed:

 *HP (Doesn't need to be a large number. Think DnD HP.)

 *Elemental Defense Multipliers for Blunt, Sharp, Liquid, Gas, Fire, Electricity (EXAMPLE: 3x Electricity for a Robot or -1x Liquid for a Water Nymph.)

 *Abilities, usually with Elemental Association and Damage Count (EXAMPLE: Flaming Arrow [Sharp] [Fire] 30 or Psionic Blast [None] - Stuns 1 Animal-type monster for 1 turn.)
 
 *Blank space for better view of monster

 *Description of monster with type (EXAMPLE: White Dragon's Master - Living>Animal>Walking>Human - Wizards have long fought with the enormous reptilians of Osland, attempting to tame them for use in battle. This man has succeeding in that task, and now has the awesome power of blizzards at his hand.)

I've played magic the gathering for the last 12 years of my life. Played in quite a few tournatments, won a few, lost many. Magic was pretty much the begginning and it'll be the end. Though some of the newer crap thier coming out with for them is kinda stupid.

Wait. What kind of bizarre alternate dimension is this, where hot women went to pokémon tournaments when they were younger.

I wasn't always hot. I was a scruffy little waif in middle school.

Not that I'm saying I'm hot now or anything...

Anyway, didn't we make some kind of charas card game some time back?
I remember Carmen and Troy making it back in 2005 but didn't Lucas and Grandy or something make one last year?

That sounds great lucas, I would be up for it, I was here last time but I never really thought about making one of myself.

I used to play Pokémon cards, but only with my cousin and brother. I preferred just collecting them.
One of my friend had Digimon card. I liked them, so I traded them fro something I forgot. Never knew how to play, just collected them.
I also had Magic cards, which I played with few friends. But, same as with the others, I preferred collecting them. Even more than the rest, because I liked the arts. But I sold them all because I wanted money. I wish I hadn't, though. I liked these cards.

And we started, Prpl. But then everyone lost interest. You know what, I might bring it back to life sometime soon.

I volunteer making it in Game Maker.

I only had Blaine's Charizard, not the "real" one.
The real one I got out of the 3 was Venusaur, and it was a 2nd edition or something like that. My Blastoise was from Team Rocket thing (Dark Blastoise).
I wanted to have all 151, whether it's Dark or Trainers, but never managed to...

I actually don't have a Charizard. It was a joke.

I'm sad to see that you guys are taking this seriously. *walks off*

No, sorry. Not good enough of a computer artist and I don't have a scanner. Could someone care to make a template?

 *HP (Doesn't need to be a large number. Think DnD HP.)

 *Elemental Defense Multipliers for Blunt, Sharp, Liquid, Gas, Fire, Electricity (EXAMPLE: 3x Electricity for a Robot or -1x Liquid for a Water Nymph.)

This man has succeeding in that task, and now has the awesome power of blizzards at his hand.)

I think that the features should be in that order from top to bottom, with HP in the upper left corner in the same row as Defense. The Elements I think should be abstract symbols with numbers superimposed on them.

I could give it a try. I'd relay like to try this out. Ever since i quit YGO I've been starving for some strategy in card game.

I used to play Pokemon, but recently a friend of mine has got me playing Yugioh. I hate the game, but for some reason collecting the cards is somewhat addicting...

For the most part, I just use YVD (online Yugioh program) if I want to play some children's card games. Collecting the real cards is far too expensive, and I have way better things to waste my money on.


EDIT: If anyone wants to waste some time... http://www.yugiohcardmaker.net/

I was more of a collector than a player, but i got pretty good at Yu-gi-oh! xD

That's my point. What is practically different about these two products? Nothing. And yet one of them is a "ripoff".
Title: Re: Trading Card Games
Post by: Rahl on April 20, 2009, 09:16:57 PM
Well its a rip off because if they were actually a part of the game then the rares wouldn't be rares anymore and everyone would have the best cards, and thats whats fun about tcg's, that you collect common cards and try to get what rare ones you can. Just like it wouldnt mean anything to a baseball person if there were a billion Babe Ruth hand signed baseball cards.
