Tummy!
Also, possible catfag alert, at least I think that's what the creature in her purse is.
>>98733773It does look like a kitty. Thank you, anon. ^_^
Sorcery tummy?
>>98734668Museum tummy
>>98733723>Do you have a particular aesthetic you enjoy in your games?yes, art made by japanese people
>>98734826How do you feel about Grand Archive's art being made by a mix of Japanese, Koreans and Chinese?
You'll be please to know I did not win Nexus Night again
>>98734906always next time brother, post more sexy yordles haha
>>98734912Haha I don't want to derail the thread and get banned
FUCKFAB
>>98734886meh. I prefer all japs
>>98730970>>98730040>>98729132Thank you for the suggestions
>>98735777Had the first piece of artwork commissioned for it the game as well to try and get a style figured out. I think I'll be going with realistic leaning vs cartoony
>>98735834Looks good, fits the theme nicely too
I love chinese card games
>>98735777so is your game playable?
>>98735961Thank you, was very happy with the result. There are 6 characters from Set 1 that I'll be commissioning over time. Next one will be the other female who is the academic bookworm type. I envision a playful bullying dynamic between the two of them>>98736129At the moment it is. Set 1 has 234 cards between 6 colors. I just need to take the plunge and get playtest copies out on .pdf for anons to try it themselves
>>98736134whats your game about already?
>>98736193It's an economic based competitive card game with the first set focused on 1930's industrial boom. You start with 20 capital and must be the first person to grow it to 50. Resource cards act as the foundation of your economy, providing space for Infrastructure cards which provides a number of spaces for your Productions. These cards may also have a space for Investment cards which provide further space to tweak your board. Cards of certain colors can only be played if you control a Resource of that color, but once you do there are no limit to the number of cards you can play as long as you can afford it.Capital is what you need to win but also what you need to spend to build your economy. There are no limitations to how much you can spend in a turn, and you are eliminated the moment you hit 0. You can also be eliminated by decking out.There are no instant speed cards at the moment, but you don't make money from your cards until the turn after they are played which gives you or your opponent a window to counter or defend cards.Some cards have a CT(Construction Time) stat that shows how many turns they must wait in play before it can be fully constructed and begin providing you income. You don't pay its cost until it is constructed, giving your opponent an opportunity to bounce it back to your hand costing you tempo.This is a rough summary of the rules, hopefully I can buckle down this weekend and write out the full updated document. It certainly won't be a game for everyone, if anything I'm hoping to be the Trucking Simulator of card games happily sitting in my niche
>>98736247damn your game sounds really good! it's a real good idea. hope you could make it. french people love tabletop games and card games so they'll play for sure, in my opinionI
I heard this was the cute tummy thread?>>98734668>>98734692Now that's a fantastic tummy.>$400Goodness gracious.
>>98736281Oh my, that is a really nice kitty with a fantastic tummy.
>>98736259Thank you! I've get a lot of positive feedback from the people I've brought it to irl. Slowly getting all the pieces together for one big push
>>98736399aren't 50 counters on the sheet confusing?
>>98736574They're intended to be your Capital tracker. You would have a marker that moves along the numbers (in this >>98736247 image for example). This opens up an opportunity to use some kind of marker as prize support for organized play
>>98736589ohh yeah, thats very clever. sorry Inm negative IQ
>>98736614
Queen...
>>98736247Get it together and kickstarter it, monica. I'd back, but make sure you have some plans for LGS/OP support if you want any real support.
>>98733723>Do you have a particular aesthetic you enjoy in your games?I wish there were more non-mon cartoony games, either western storybook style or toony anime like Etrian Odyssey et al. Even Lorcana is renderslop, I wanna see excellent lineart and watercolor.
>>98737233>toony anime like Etrian OdysseyI have some good news for you. The main artist for Etrian Odyssey, Yuji Himukai, illustrated the Masters in a card game called Legions!
>>98737261C U T E
>>98737490https://tcg-db.nikita.jp/explist/lgs/>click イラストレーター>click 日向悠二Have fun!TOKIAME is also good and might be more of what you're looking for (pic related).
>>98737518NTA but TOKIAME's art kicks ass and they were a perfect to do Touhou 17.5's art with the Oil theme going on.
>>98737568I will now buy your card.
>>98737583Pacifica's other tummy is excellent as well.
Card games?
>>98737570I thought I recognized his art somewhere! It's a shame he doesn't seem to work on many TCGs. Legions is the only one I could find.Now that you're a Touhoufag and you're here, what cool Touhou cards do you have?
>>98737566Do the angels watch the kids have sex?
>>98737588Oooh, it is!
>>98737713God I hope so.
Friend just bought some Sorcery stuff on a whim. Four starter decks, 1 pack each from 3 sets, and then the store gave him a free playmat and promo pack. These cards look absolutely beautiful.AND THE FIRST TWO PACKS EACH HAD A KITTY!Looking forward to trying this out some time.
Someone get these anime pedos out of this thread

>>98738202Anime website.
>>98736815Thank you. I still need to figure out all I need to get locked down before getting the Kickstarter up. I've ran a couple of crowdfund projects before that have received over $100k, so I'm confident that when I do finally decide to get the kickstarter up that we can make this game a success.As for OP, I made a post before asking for suggestions. I'm thinking of a beginner oriented OP product that stores can purchase to provide structured play. Something along the lines of>6 players>4 weeks>6 starter decks, 24 booster packs>various prize supportWeek1>players use starter decks only, get familiarized with the game. Earn points by participating or running demo events for new playersWeek 2-3>Expand your deck with the additional booster packs, supplement with cards traded between other people in the leagueWeek 4>Final week lets you add any card you can get your hands onPrizes wouldn't allow you to get a more powerful deck, it would be strictly things like alternate art cards, promo dice, or a playmat.
>>98738202is this anime pedo?

I miss Build Divide so much
>>98740498It seems like a pretty cool game.
>>98740583The real Build Divide not this IPslop
>>98740598Cute.
This is shameless full-on pantsu.
>>98740738You can pay chinamen on Aliexpress who will print literal hardcore porn on cards and offer (limited) foiling options for them too. Your low stimulation fetish shouldn't exist.
>>98740771cool
i opened my vendetta box and literally only got a crystal rose ezreal :/
>>98740771>sex exists stop enjoying dirty dancing reeeWe need to find a cure for spergs
>>98735777>>98735834>>98736134>>98736247>>98736399Looking good! I like the construction timer mechanic. You'll have to keep us all posted.As an aside, you might even be able to get your hands on public domain artwork and photography from the time period. There's tons of great art out there. I recommend checking out The Metropolitan Museum of Art. They have a whole selection of art on their website that is CC0, ripe for the download. I used it for my most recent game. It's all available. For free. Legally. With no attribution required. It's a no brainer if you're using a setting that could be considered historical.
>>98739864Honestly, if you're going the TCG route, make sure you have a draft format available. Unless you've got 6 figures to throw at this game, randomized product is an uphill battle. Ask me how I know.If I were in your shoes, knowing what I know now, I would have just made a couple of precons to start out. I went turbo autism on booster packs for The Condemned specifically to support booster draft, but didn't have the community backing to support it.
>>98741391Public domain is the route that I went, was able to comb through and find a lot of relevant artwork for the time period. It's varying quality and style giving it a lack of overall cohesion but I think it will be very educational and a good look in to the art world
>>98741413Thank you for the advice. I would be curious to hear any experience you have with getting randomized product done. With the OP kit I have planned, it seems like getting a starter deck for each color established will be an important first step
>>98740255Kind of. Nivel Arena is in this weird space where it's 50% Nikke and all its first few sets are Nikke but technically it's a multi-IP product featuring other coomer gacha too (some repeatedly). Still mainly Nikke, but branding wise it's always Nivel Arena - name of property rather than the Nikke sets being distinguished from the others.
I'm almost satisfied with my collection of gothic grails, hopefully the incoming restock brings prices down enough I can pick up the last few pieces to the puzzle
>>98741563>lack of overall cohesionThis is, imo, not that big of an issue. As long as the art looks like it's from the time period, it doesn't matter. It's just another artist's perspective on the time period. Having the same style of artwork in a card game is a much more recent convention, comparatively speaking. Look at early MTG, On The Edge, Pokemon, Magi-Nation, or even UFS. The variety of artwork is a normal thing. That's why I went out of my way to get my artists to do art in their own style as an homage to the TCGs of old.>>98741571The issue is less in getting the product produced as it is in getting people to buy it. You can get 500 booster boxes for less than 20% of MSRP. Cool, great. Now you have 500 booster boxes you need to sell. You're a nobody in the TCG space when you're starting out, how do you get people to buy your game when there's umpteen other games with a bigger marketing budget than yours that will get all the new money in the space, leaving you the scraps?It also doesn't help that a lot of people on the outside of the TCG space see randomized boosters as a predatory business practice akin to gambling. It's a tough sell. With a setting like yours, I personally believe that you will have better luck in the ECG/self contained card game space. If I were you, I would look into the ECG "theme decks that can be mixed and matched" route or a self contained box of X decks that support however many players.Or, you could do what Speedrobo Games did with The Caster Chronicles. 2 player duel deck sets, with two unique decks in each. You can buy one of each (4 total) and have at least one copy of every card in the game. The randomized boosters contain foil versions of the cards in the duel decks. I gotta commend Rhydon on that one, it's smart. I've considered pivoting on The Condemned to make getting content out faster and a bit more flexible.
>>98741563>I think it will be very educationalyou should put little tidbits and factoids about whatever the card is referencing for flavor text
>mfw looking at cyberpunk beta vs release cardsApparently booster boxes will have less packs and different fancy versions of cards but beyond that idk man
Scooped up a new kitty from the LGS. >paid $24>market value around $40Certainly didn't expect that. It's normally a few dollars more at the shop.
>>98740255It's Union Arena, not a "Nikke TCG". You can play Nikke in Weiss Schwarz too.
>>98742694>be a Evelynnfag>most likely will have to destroy my wallet to buy a playset of Rengar because she's Ambush-basedThanks for reminding me, anon...
>>98742251>how do you get people to buy your game when there's umpteen other games with a bigger marketing budget than yours that will get all the new money in the space, leaving you the scraps?I think planning on remaining small and selling preorders to a dedicated group of players and stores is a good way to mitigate the leftover inventory problem. Plenty of card games are able to get by on scraps and I think my concept is unique enough to attract its own niche of players. It wouldn't be easy though, and like you said before it would be important to have a structured form of play that includes the stores.>It also doesn't help that a lot of people on the outside of the TCG space see randomized boosters as a predatory business practice akin to gamblingThis is fair with something targeted at children like Pokemon, but I think my game would have a more mature leaning to it. I can admit that its gambling, but I can also admit I like to gamble sometimes and if I can play a game with my scratch tickets instead of just throwing them out all the better.>With a setting like yours, I personally believe that you will have better luck in the ECG/self contained card game space. If I were you, I would look into the ECG "theme decks that can be mixed and matched" route or a self contained box of X decks that support however many players.I wouldn't want to go with an ECG route entirely, but I do agree with giving players a variety of starter decks that they can use to give themselves a foothold in to the game in a manner they enjoy. I feel like going the ECG route is almost a way to ensure your game is lost in the bin of other options.>2 player duel deck sets, with two unique decks in each. You can buy one of each (4 total) and have at least one copy of every card in the game. The randomized boosters contain foil versions of the cards in the duel decksThat's an interesting way to go about it.
>>98742275Each card will have the painters name, but I've also been trying to read some old books for inspiration on some quotes. Learn a lot about just how little people's lives were valued back then
>>98742928And the fun thing about old books are the old quotes>darker than a n*gger funeral in a thunderstorm
>>98742928be sure to cite wherever the quotation is fromit's only half as soulful without iti can't wait until your game becomes popular and starts collaborating with fortnite and nike
>>98742944I'll be absorbed by steamforged and forced to make horizon zero dawn sets for eternity
>>98742895RIP walletI actually turned down buying a YGO cat card they had, which is basically unheard of from me. They wanted $55 for it, so I'll just wait for it to come down.
>>98742978>YGO cat cardWhich one?
>>98742989This one.
>>98743015If it's only for collection's sake just get an OCG one. Better quality and cheaper. Gold Leo doesn't have a Starlight Rare in the OCG but the old ones look bad anyway.
>>98742879But there IS a Nikke TCG. It's called Nivel Arena.
>>98743035Thank you for the advice, anon! ^_^
>>98742694Noice>>98742895Hey at least you can also play full-power PG Yi too
>>98742900>I think planning on remaining small and selling preorders to a dedicated group of players and stores is a good way to mitigate the leftover inventory problem.This can work, but be advised that the smallest order quantity I was able to find for The Condemned was 100 booster boxes, at 35% MSRP. That's much higher than you're going to want if you plan to be profitable. You're going to need to really fight to build a niche big enough for that kind of an order.>GamblingThis is why I brought up booster draft in >>98741413. This can be an alternative format, another way to play the game, and it helps soften the blow of the gambling accusation.>TCG vs. ECGWhen I was first prepping for The Condemned, I reached out to the buyer of a local game store chain. We talked for a good hour or so, where he let me pick his brain about what he sees in the market. They have a store in the Mall of America, I figured he'd be a good resource. He was very quick to try and discourage me from making The Condemned a TCG, and asked me why I wanted to go that route instead of an ECG. I told him that I like drafting, and wanted to make my game draftable. He said to me, "that is the only legitimate reason you could have given me to keep it a TCG. Good job."From a game store's perspective, TCGs are far riskier than ECGs. His store is more likely to give an ECG a chance than a TCG, simply because they need to move product and it's harder to move a new (unheard of) TCG than an ECG. People are more willing to drop $10-$15 on the latter, than risk a whole booster box of something else.
I'm playing my ACGs against myself again...
>>98744413>the smallest order quantity I was able to find for The Condemned was 100 booster boxes, at 35% MSRPWhat would the total have been for that to be produced? At least one way to look at it is that is a relatively small amount of money to be out if the game suddenly goes bust and becomes impossible to move. Seems like you could find a Rudy among your own players who would be willing to cut a deal with you to take excess product from a run. But minimizing excess would be key.>From a game store's perspective, TCGs are far riskier than ECGs. His store is more likely to give an ECG a chance than a TCGThat's fair, and I wouldn't expect anything else from someone with a store in Mall of America. That might be aiming to high for me though, instead going after the smaller game stores. Maybe even doing consignment based sales where you give them a booster box to sit on and see how the sales do, meanwhile getting in there with the starter deck oriented Organized Play kits.>People are more willing to drop $10-$15 on the latter, than risk a whole booster box of something else.Agreed, I don't even think to buy an entire booster box whenever I get in to a new game as long as those smaller beginner oriented products are available.Appreciate you taking the time to provide all this information
>>98737847Oh? Tell me how it is, I've been getting interested in Sorcery too.
>>98740387>Digimon cloneNot what I would've expected but good on them for doing what this general has never done, finishing a game
>>98745252did /acg/ even tried (for real) to make a card game?
>>98737847Show kitties
If I were to make a card game it would be about cute kemono girls dueling to curry favor from noble suitors (all human men) and they'd be flip cards but it wouldn't be front side normal form back side torn clothes embarrassed form it would be front side normal form back side empowered form because they got a kiss from a cute boy and made them stronger and you can buff girls with big swords & cute dresses
>>98746218Front side being a cute kemono girl "human" form with the back side as a cool beast/creature form would actually go pretty hard.
>>98746250I meant kemono as in japanese furry
>>98744724>What would the total have been for that to be produced?For me, that was right around $3500, IIRC. Bear in mind, that was before shipping, tariffs (that are now far too bonkers for any sort of small order), and taxes. My boxes MSRP at $100, and my landed cost was right around $35 for 100 boxes. I still have more than half of them sitting in my garage 3 years later.>Maybe even doing consignmentThis is much easier for game stores to get on board with, though it's still incumbent on you getting people to them to help drive sales. Store owners tend to be pretty lazy when it comes to stuff like this. They'd rather you put in the marketing efforts.>>98745657You got me and Capitalism Anon over here, FWIW. If >>98746218 wants to make a game, I say do it. The TCG route is extra hard mode, but it's the most fun I've had working the hardest I've ever worked in my life. I've made my share of mistakes along the way, but I've learned from it and met a bunch of great people in the process.
>>98742895Just play azir or ornn bro. Equipment is cheap and they don't play the fuck off expensive origins cards.Or go to the chinks for the expensive ones, they're good enough quality no one would ever pick them out double sleeved.
>>98745657It's hard to work on indie projects because everyone wants to go in their own direction. Going back to katawa shoujo, the vision was very clear from the beginning. Basically to make it work, there needs to be both a complete consensus on what the game will be like, and a demand for it in this very thread. I don't think there are enough posters here to form both a team and an audience. I would love to be proven wrong but this is how I feel about it
>>98746182The pics he sent me got downsampled, but first pack upper left, Firebreathing.
And second pack, bottom right, absolutely gorgeous Snow Leopard.

Where can I get quality zip binders with cute art on the cover?
>>98743040>korean onlyDoesn't count.
YOOOOO, check out what anon sent me! Thank you, bro, these are so cute! ^_^
>>98746588Thinking about what I said yesterday and I think I was wrong.I was too focused on big projects that require a lot of resources. Katawa was a project like that, and only succeeded because the resources were there. I think ACG has a chance if you focus on a smaller project, like a game jam. Give yourselves a set amount of time to develop something, set up a server and go. Not saying it's easy but I do believe it's possible
>>98749330Okay, it's a lane battler about lolis who turn into cats, utilizing the chrono clash resource system and legions!'s return mechanic.Design challenge issued. Figure it out, nerds.
>>98747882It's in Japan too.
>>98749368Why those two specifically? Have you even ever tried those games or do you just kind of like the idea?
>>98736281What happened to Legions! TCG, I had a rough time findings anything about it and that QR code doesn't work anymore.
What's the One Piece TCG like? Healthy meta? How big is the gap between pay2win meta top tier and casual brewing? Can you even brew or is the meta shit that powerful? Is it mostly reddit millennials playing or do children and normal people play it?
>>98748583did you share adress?
>>98750451from what I heard, manga cards are expensive but don't know if theyre used in meta decks
>>98750451>Healthy meta?A Mihawk Leader just got banned, so maybe the meta will be a bit healthier now. Usually, there are one or two decks in Tier 1 and a handful of decks in Tier 2. You can check out the overall meta for each set on onepiecetopdecks.com>Can you even brew or is the meta shit that powerful?You can brew but since it’s such a tempo-heavy game, you’re kind of shooting yourself in the foot if you’re not playing the current strongest Turn 1–2–3–4–5 etc cards your colours have to offer and the best cards that works the best with your leader. Power creep is also very real, and a lot of older Leaders have become irrelevant compared to newer ones simply because they have less text and fewer tools on them. Rogue decks can sometimes do good depending on the meta. For example, Reiju who was considered rogue managed to top few tournament back in the day because it was a fast, aggressive deck that could sometimes kill the opponent before they had a chance to properly play their game or stabilize. It eventually and quickly got powercrept out of the meta though. >reddit millenials or normiesBoth.
>>98750709I have a P.O. box for things like this. (Two of them, actually, in different cities.) It makes it a lot less concerning to give out an address on here.I've received some lovely gifts from so many anons in these threads throughout the years. ^_^

>>98751411So do we send you cards with cats on them or something? I'm new to this thread.
Is riftbound's multiplayer any good? Looking for a game to replace commander with my friends since we are all sick of the universes beyond slop
>>98751432I had some duplicate cards because the listing I bought from had 3 copies. I didn't need the extras so I sent them to whoever wanted them as long as they paid for shipping.If it happens again I'll let the thread know. The other guy collects cats. I collect cute lolis.
>>98751482UOOOOOOOHHH ToT
>>98751423Build like 3 - 4 decks that play well with each other and bring them along during game nights to see if anyone wants to play
>>98751423>Feels bad, man. Any advice on how to bring the game?up the ra
>>98751432Welcome to the threads, anon. You don't have to send me anything, just enjoy the thread. Over the last 6+ years that these threads have been running people have just been very kind to me and shared a ton of cards, usually kitties. I have a massive collection of cats from a ridiculous number of games, and the cards have arrived from like 30 different countries, which is really cool.
>>98752536Good shit. The kinds of collections that only the person collecting would appreciate are always the most unique, interesting, and soulful. It's really what all collections should be but instead they've been warped and twisted into only the most valuable cards mattering.>cards have arrived from like 30 different countriesThat is cool. I mainly focus on Japanese card games. Maybe it's time I branch out.What game is Comot from?
>>98752592Comot is from Ejen Ali: MISI Alliance, and was sent to me by an anon from Kuching, Malaysia. (Kuching is "Cat" in the Malay language.)
>>98752793Neat. There's probably a card game unique to every country.You might want to check out a game called Kaiun Colosseum 開運コロシアム. The mascot is a cat thing and is featured in nearly every card.
>>98752944Thanks for the tip, anon! Sounds like an excellent source for more kitties.
Having never gotten a chance to play them, I didn't really pick up the fact that L5R/LBS are kind of "zone battlers". They provide different targets to attack other than face and other cards but don't come with the rigidity of lane battlers where units have to move / the constant state of tug of war. Are there more like that out there? I'm a newfag when it comes to the ACG side of things
>>98754001fug I mean to add - ones that still provide combat on things/areas. Obviously games like Netrunner give you things to attack other than face/cards. I think Doomtown was another one
Post cool fucking monsters.
>>98737233I think Sorcery is the only card game right now that exclusively uses hand painted artwork
>>98751482Is... Is it a weird sex thing?
>eww, sex is weird!Don't worry, anon, you'll never experience it.

>>98756132Nah, you're just a faggot.
>>98756138
>>98751441No.But youre playing commander. Literally the format that can avoid UB more than any other.Just dont play the cards.

>>98756697
>>98733723I've been trying to get into the lore of L5R 4e (which I understand is the edition agnostic one that still acknowledges the original game timeline), and I have some questions. Questions about people that have fundamentally baffled me relative to how I thought the game was supposed to be like.1. What the fuck was Mirumoto Hitomi's problem? As in, in-character. Am I missing something, or is she entirely a product of Dragon powergaming? Was it autism, or did she just love her oniichan that much?2. Who was more responsible for the sheer unholy wank Daigotsu got, the writers or the players?
Anyone play UA in the TCG Dojo discord events? How are they?
>>98759372>lorebunnyinglet's start with what you play. and whether it's oL5R or FFshit.>>98758681this thing just better shadow hound? side summon is busto
>>98756841>Resident ESL
>>98737233Look into sorcery when the next set releases, every card is an actual canvas painting
>>98759723>every card is an actual canvas paintingthat is demonstrably bullshit
>>98759850>That is demonstrably bullshitWell seeing as its literally their entire business model, and the original paintings for each card are given out as prizes or auctioned by the artists, I'm sure you'll demonstrate any minute now.
>>98759850>>98759909The paintings are pretty expensive too, pic related went for $8000, so whichever artist you're about to demonstrate didn't paint an original for a card has cost themself a bit of cash in their demonstration of demonstrableness.
>>98759909>>98759940One more just to drive home the point of how retarded >>98759850 is, the original frazetta painting used for Courtesan Thai hanging in the newly opened George Lucas Museum, as posted slightly earlier in this very thread.
>>98755445Really though why haven't any of you told me about Lord of Vermilion?https://exhentai.org/g/345759/d8fc62631f/?
Sucks that there don't seem to be any high quality scans of these cards.
>>98759975You can be the first anon.
>>98759978I would like to. I'll have to hunt them down and buy a scanner.These are absurdly cool.
Like look at this fucking thing
Alright I'm done now sorry.
>>98759991More.
>>98760013hehe ok
Odin.
No Life King (me)
So many of the ones I want to post have abysmal quality images.
A lot of these are on ebay at least.
Nightmare
>>98759693As I said, I'm getting into L5R 4e. The tabletop game. And mostly I am so confused by now I can't tell what is shit and what is just old.
And then in true Japanese fashion there's also stuff like this.This is apparently King Solomon.
Thanatos.I can keep going but that's enough.
>>98760050Damn, I owe the other japanese King Solomons I know an apology.
>>98760037Oooh, I like this art in particular.
how do I make a good Sorcery: Contested Realm deckFUCKauuuuuuuuuuurrrrGHHHHHHHHHH
>>98746798>>98737847oh fuckthat alt art screaming skull playmat is actually somewhat rare and valuableniceim mad jellynice kelp cavern foil pull toojellywhat else were the pulls from the packs? was the finwife foil one of them? not sure if you know but shes a big meme card in the community, a foil version is fun.and what was the promo pack?
>>98734668>>98734692Courtesan Thais? More like Courtesan Thighs and Tummy and I right heh heh
>>98760471His third pack
The promo pack
And I guess a pack came in the starter decks?
>>98760721how the fuck is that guy carrying a 20 ton anchor by himself
>>98760721>>98760823no fucking way that's an ashes expy in sorcery right
>>98760049for the tabletop (ffg strat stuff, bgs) you prob want /bgg/ friendo. or one of the rpg generals for L5R RPG.any discussion here is about the TCG or LCG.>>98758681compiledvoid phantom < shadow hound. doesnt get the pings, squshy on the top round. still good. scrap hound looks like the fuckin killer here
>>98761396I see, thanks and my bad for the misunderstanding. I couldn't find an L5R general and at a glance I suspect /bgg/ isn't much for the game either, maybe I'll try again tomorrow
>>98760714A toolbox! Fuckin niiiiiceAnd an overflow and landmass hell yeah, nice staples for deckbuilding. Apple Alkahest is also fucking awesome but hard to use if you aren’t playing Elementalist avatar.>>98760721Mordrid Druids is a cool hit. Pretty rarely seen Elite. Not played often, kind of super niche but I think they’re a super neat defensive control card. I don’t actually have one myself. For some reason they’re super rare.
>>98760721Oh and poison nova goes fucking crazy. If you ever have fire threshold that just goes in a deck. It’s an “oh shit” local boardwipe emergency button. Super nice pull.Gyre Hippogriffs are also one of the most formidable 4 cost Air minions out there.
>>98760721>>98761344can't be, right? isn't that from the first sorcery set. alpha was the same summer as ashes redrains so they would have been in dev at the same time. it is fucking uncanny though
I think my enjoyment of this game has really been tarnished by strike freedom, to the point where I'm starting to not really wanna play anymore. I'm by no means a massive shitter or anything, but it's just not fun to play against. They clipped Blue Purple aggro just to release this ass cancer card? The worst part is how it just encourages you to go faster and play aggro because if your deck isn't running it then you generally lose if you're playing any other "late game" deck. All the people that bitched that aggro was killing the game all just play strike freedom and I'm frankly getting tired of playing it.
>>98762269One guy at my local the other day said:>You just have to have more strike freedoms than the other guy and you win.And he was not wrong at all.
>>98762073At you serious? I played ashes long before I got my alpha boxes of sorc. When I pulled Ol Salt for the first time I said to myself that Eric must be a Phoenix fan.
>>98762502>>98762073There are lots of references to others games and stuff hidden in SorceryThere’s a buttload of PoE and Diablo 1/2 references, MTG referencesI wouldn’t be surprised if there were other card game references tooErik is just a big nerd making a game he thinks is fun and stuff he personally likes and commissioning art from artists and card alter artists that he personally likes for his little game because he’s an unbelievably rich fuck now from GGGs success
the most obscure card game?
>>98762602Must be something with a short print run and in a language that doesn't have that many speakers. Ideally also covering a topic or theme that doesn't have wide appeal. Hatalom Kártyái Kártyajáték might be a good candidate.Or one of those blatantly fetish-centric games, ideally of South Korean origin, because that's smaller market than things made in Japanese.
>>98762671>Hatalom Kártyái Kártyajátékthis game is pretty obscure...but I believe there's even more obscure and the key might be s. korea like you said
>>98762713This one is more of a board game with cards rather than a proper card game, but at least the theme is pretty niche.ryona/guro/snuffhttps://bbs.ruliweb.com/community/board/300143/read/37161428
>>98762766
>>98762542Oh I know he does and he fucking loves other acgs. I just don't think timing makes sense for it to be a ref. Ashes Old Salt is a callback to the Anchornaut kid from the first ashes set in 2015 but it wasn't called "old salt" until >>98761344 came out in the red rains box from early 2023. and sorcery dropped that summer. sorcery art was all in pipe or done by then. there's no time for one creator to have seen the other's version unless they were getting lunch and comparing notes or some shit.
>>98761396this set is gonna be pretty metal. thinking Empty Vessel is the shit here, with black coil. empty hand illusion pretty weird bc you cant hold reaction spell. but that things stupid strong
was considering one piece TCG but it seems impossible to get into as a newshitter
>>98759909>>98759940>>98759966I've rarely seen such an effortful rebuttal lately, much appreciated to see such.
>>98762602Legions! apparently cause nobody answered my question ;_; >>98750367
>>98761396my cousin would really like this set I want to play the star mage
>>98763963>>98750367Sorry bud. It simply died because of poor sales. There's not much to it.
>>98750367>>98763963don't you cry no more anoni, I tried searching infos on legions! on internet but it is so obscure that I get another card game named legion instead lol. if you want info, write Legions! tcg in japanese and you'll get results for this tcg
>>98763963I found this: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=A4zNyNsReMY
>>98763963There's a listing on mercari with every card ever printed for ~$300. I'll take off your hands for you if you buy it.
ATTENTION DUELISTS!If you play blockerspam in gundam you are officially GAY.that is all.
>>98763851I stopped playing a while ago but I think one piece is one of the easiest to get into>Fan made sim that's actually decent>Well organized websites and discord servers that are easy to navigate for decklists >Can practically get the cards anywhereOn the other hand I started playing arena a couple days ago and everything is a convoluted mess.
>>98762602>>98762671Xenomortal is another game by the same person who made Cradle that you only learn about if you look at the shop where Cradle is sold, and it's only not the most obscure game because an anon bought it and shared the rules ITT.
>>98763963kek
>>98761396Looks like 3 more cards in the star boy deck and 2 more in the gun lady deck? think they both get another unit
>>98762602Idk if it’s the most obscure but it’s a weird one. Deus TCG sold only in France, Belgium and Italy in the late 90s but all the artworks were made by comic book artists from Wildstorm. It lasted 2 years with only 2 sets.
>>98759966>zoom in on the plaquePretty sneaky, sis.
>>98764670?
>>98759909SOME sorcery arts are painted on canvas and SOME sorcery arts are given out as prizesbut pic related for instance isn't painted or on canvas, miller does basically everything in ink, marker and/or watercolor. sorcery's art sourcing is pretty variable/ theres a lot of traditionally painted ones but tons of exceptions too.>>98759966yes, frazetta's most well known work is mostly all oil painting. that's one artist.
>>98764623Reminds me I still have to get that game to table and maybe buy a few more sets on my next import.
>>98765037I'll be honest, all those posts were written with the interpretation that you were implying some of the cards were digital art, rather than that not every card was specifically done on canvas versus watercolour on paper or inkwork.Que sera sera
Damn it. Another card I want that I'll never be able to find.
>>98765037That's a cool looking card.
>>98762671There's just NO way that HKK would be the most obscure since they are still printing it after 31 years, and has an active scene with weekly events. Maybe it looks obscure to westerners because of the language, but the s. korean fetish games mentioned are much better candidates. Even just within the country we have much more obscure games like the Rawen TCG that had like 4 starter decks and 1 set before disappearing entirely. https://boardgamegeek.com/boardgame/147345/rawen-tcg
>>98764125Either bounce my shit or bounce on it
>>98762269at least wait until the next ban list comes out, should be soon
Very excited for alphacide cards to be worse than clan but perform better because they are in better colors
>>98766373give me more info on these south korean fetish games
>>98738202Hey buddy what website do you think you're on
>>98767915He's on the TRADITIONAL GAMES board, in the ALTERNATIVE CARD GAMES general. You off-topic faggot losers have 'not safe for work' threads by the thousands you could be posting in, but instead you choose to shit up this place about card games for some reason. I guess you're pedophiles and fucking brainless to boot. Sorry for your shit life rng, but take it out on depictions of sexualized children somewhere else. Also you missed your question mark, you feckless cavort!!

>>98768371you can make out the text that is therefrank frazettaegyptian queenit's not generated
>>98768284This game has to have the worst, most unimaginative flavor text I've ever read in a card game. I guess the law of equilibrium dictates you have to give up well written lore that sparks the imagination to attain good art.
>blatant AI slop>bro it's not AI cuz you can pretend it says what I put in the promptOh fuck right off
>>98768660I disagreeThe flavor text also isn't just flavor text, it serves a dual purposeif any word in the flavor text is capitalized, then it's a Tag word that means it has an interaction if called upon anywhere else, so the flavor text is actually quite clever in my opinion. There's always the rarity tag, which has card interactions and also has implicit deckbuilding limits (4 of any same ordinary, 3 of any same exception, 2 of any same elite, 1 of any same unique, barring Duplicator Avatar or Grey Wolves card)tons of the flavor text is quite fun.lots of cards also have REAL flavor text in their ability box below, just not every card does.
>>blatant AI slop>>bro it's not AI cuz you can pretend it says what I put in the prompt>Oh fuck right off
>local store only has lorcana and riftbound weekly events sigh
>>98769898Well yes, those (and One Piece) are the only /acg/ with much of a playerbase
>>98769973is lorcana good at all? I tried riftbound but meh. I refuse to play one piece again
>>98769898Well well well. Sounds like SOMEONE has to learn Lorcana now.One of us.One of us.One of us.ONE OF USONE OF USONE OF US
>>98769976Lorcana's good. A lot of it boils down to whether you love or hate Disney characters or Magic. It borrows a lot from Magic, but it's more streamlined and a race for points rather than depleting a life bar.
>>98769898BENGHAZI!!!!what game do you want them to run?you know you can be the community organizer and get events going, right?
>buying and playing a Disneyslop cardgame>shilling for a Disneyslop cardgame
japanese illustrations are cooler
>>98769632That is stupid design.
>>98770158explain why
>>98770162flavor text is flavor because it does not contain rules. If you cannot ignore the text without affecting the game then it is rules text not flavor. If the rules text has a bunch of extra flavor I need to read to comprehend the rules it is bad rules text.
>>98768660I find that the genericness or vagueness of sorcery "lore" sparks the imagination more. There is no lore really. But there are ideas, themes, motifs and archetypes or whatever. The idea in there is that the players will create their own stories on the table. Some shit like that.It is a bit risky tho do that. It could have fallen flat. I think they managed to pull it off due to the wonderful art and the fact that the design space allows them to make very delightfully thematic cards.

>>98770127>anything I don't like is sloppy and you're a shill for liking itThis is why we can't discuss anything here, making it the most useless thread on /tg/
>>98766373Did HKK have a continuous run throughout those 31 years or was it more like VtES where it went dormant for over a decade and then re-emerged recently? Never getting printed in any of the "global" languages is pretty much a must to qualify as "obscure.">>98766924How about north korean edutainment/propaganda game that only exists in few dozen copies distributed among (children of) regime elites?
>>98770261That's pretty cool.Reminds me of this.
>>98768660Its creative once you realize the constraints.
>>98765037>>98765527Miller is definitely one of my favorite fantasy artists, I've been wanting to buy one of his originals for years. I should do it before he passes, the guy is getting old.
>>98770430What other stuff did he do besides Sorcery?
>>98770433magic, warhams, various rpgs, lots of famous Tolkien art and fantasy covers. he's been active since the mid 70s, it's a big list.
>>98770433Magic, Warhammer, D&D I think for some of thee books. I first saw his art on Mirage cards in like 1996.
Did the art for a comic called The City in the 90s, you can buy some of the original sketches from it on his site right now.https://www.ianmiller.studio/product/the-city-stranger-sheet-03/
I summon middle school girl in swimsuit.
>>98770562I summon Chris Hansen
>>98770562I summon naked adult woman.
>>98769976It's fine. Riftbound is far more complex and quite a bit more interactive. Lorcana is basically easy version of magic, with no instants (or instant abilities), and decent flavor. If you like Disney and have players, you could do worse. Of the two I'd pick riftbound for pure gameplay.

>>98771354i tried riftbound and it just felt.. i dunno the interaction and priority stuff just didn't feel good to me, maybe it was just lack of understanding and practice but it felt off
>>98771744>Wouldn't I want to keep itYes, anon. I was joking.
>>98772078I dont like riftbound because its too much of an obvious revenue boost product with no genuine passion in its creation, it exists purely because riot thought having a tcg tie in for their game would improve the bottom line, then it was made by a consensus of corporate suits and focus testing. The instant it isnt making money, even if its only a temporary rough spot, they'll shut it down, because there is zero real love or desire for a tcg to exist behind it beyond the desire for it to pad an executives bonus payout for the next fiscal Q
>>98772234>its too much of an obvious revenue boost product with no genuine passion in its creationthat's most tcgs nowadays though. Same with Video games produced.
>>98772314As a Lorcana fan, I kind of feel like it's almost the opposite. Obviously, Disney is Disney and wants to push the IP, but I feel like Ravensburger is working within those constraints while actually trying to push a quality game.
>>98770349no that's not what i asked
>>98772234>The instant it isnt making money, even if its only a temporary rough spot, they'll shut it downi doubt it. legends of runeterra and 2XKO are outliers because the former was too generous for a digital card game and the latter they wasted so much time and money over 10 years that marc merril basically said they would have needed to have hundreds of thousands of players monthly for it to have been worth it... for a fighting game
>>98769898riftbound is good tho
>>98756001>>98759723Sorcery art not made by 80's superstars looks like garage sale paints. I want to see more good stylized drawings and less realistic renderslop.

>>98772234I disagree. Riot seems intent on expanding the reach of their IP, and this is one of the ways of doing so. It also has a really big following in China, and was originally only going to release there, so there's not a big risk of it dropping support for a while.The rules are the least directly MTG ripoff I've played in a while, to boot. Now if you want a real cynical cash grab with no passion or soul, look at Cyberpunk.

>>98774827I mean chains
>>98774835MTG, Flesh and Blood
>>98774851thx
>>98774534Wasn't that anon, but those are weak numbers. Considering riftbound or lorcana are selling out 2k+ tickets almost instantly for their national competitions.
>>98774915How far are these goalposts going to move?>No one plays this game>Okay theres a tournament literally today, but its only 128 players>Okay no one plays this game unless there's 2000+ events that sell out instantly
frankly, whats the future of card games?
>>98774925How many areas have local events with 8+ players on a regular basis? That's the requirement for a game to be considered played. If you can't find players at least once a month within a 30 mile radius of most 1m+ cities, the game is dead.
IP Slop
>>98774421>that>generic anime girlNot him but you're a faggot. There's certainly anime stylized art posted in this thread that can be considered "generic" but that isn't one of them.
>>98775067>>98770562Yeah... Wow... Never seen an anime girl exactly like that 10,000 times before...
>>98775077I'm not sure if you're a real person but that's not the non-generic one I, or he, was talking about.Besides, you're also a faggot for hating on Poyoyon Rock.

>>98775111Not that guy, but if your numbers get too low, the stores stop running your game, so the more niche the game is, the more invested players become in raising the numbers, lest their game be dropped by organizers.
>Alternative Card Games General>An alternative card game is talked about and enjoyed>Entire thread starts seething and raging that it isn't just reposting hentai printed on cardboardAhh, how sweet it is.

>every japanese card is hentai>every western card is slop

>>98775257A lot of western LGS won't stock One Piece because they hate anime and it's still outselling YGO, would likely outsell Magic if they didn't post bullshit Hollywood accounting to keep Hasbro alive.Hell most actively try to sabotage Bushiroad and Vanguard keeps on trucking. My locals all refused to pick Shadowverse because "it's another dragoborne" and the game is going for five years now.Meanwhile they still have Transformers in the shelves and are overstocking SWU when everyone knows FFG will drop it as soon as licencing renewal day comes.
>>98775633one piece is the 2nd most played CG at my LGS (first being commander obviously) and the owner has been pushing it for a long timethey can't stock enough outside of whatever is the undesired starter deck because getting stock is a fucking nightmare
>>98773008If you actually like Riftbound gameplay and not just the IPslop, check out Echoes of Astra.
>>98774190Sorcery feels more like a board game than a tcg. Peddle it to people who like Summoner Wars or the old Naruto game and you'll get more fans than trying to shove it towards cunny card collectors or combatslop gamers.
>>98775657For every guy who knows money when they see it there's a hundred who lets their ego do the management.You'd think they'd all get cleared by the pandemic but for some reason the worst managed stores over here survived and some of the best stocked and most comfortable went down.
>>98775278this is a cunny card collector zone
>>98775660Zero players around me. I can play riftbound five times a week without driving more than a half hour.
>>98775860>Zero players around meIt's not even out yet you dunce.
>>98775905Oh, well, I'll keep an eye out then. I went to their OP website and saw zero LGS in 50 miles.I don't care for LoL just like the riftbound gameplay.
While I'm showing off card art I like, I'm very partial to the necromancer alt art
