Card Creation Thread: CLOSED

Card Creation

The first card that anyone should make (if you haven't already) is your forumer card. This card bears your name and is a representation of your forum persona which can be anything you like. However, the card must be a Common card. You can create Uncommon and/or Rare evolutions of your forumer card later.

Each card is given a certain number of points which you can spend on attacks, abilities, healing, status effects and suchlike. Please try to keep any cards you create NTWF-themed since this is the NTWF TCG. If you need ideas for cards, why not visit Memory Lane? Also, the point system is just a guideline, not strict rules. There are some cards that are a point or two over or under the suggested amount, just as long as they're not uber powerful or pathetically weak.

Unlike previous card lists, this one won't ever close off the creation process for good. Cards may continue to be created, but will be added in groups of 5 in order to keep an even number. A card is not official until I have edited it into the Official Card List.

Before you create any cards, please look at the card list and make sure that there are no cards that're the same or very similar to yours. Also, if the last card's number in an elemental category ends in a 9 or higher, submission for that particular card type is closed. The exception is forumer cards.

Point Allocation

Normal Cards
Common: 10 points
Uncommon: 15 points

Forumer Cards
Common: 10 points
Uncommon: 18 points
Rare: 23 points

Attacks and Abilities

• HP: 1 point each
  
• Damage: 1 point each
  - Dice rolls: Damage relying on dice rolls take 3 points per die used
  - Variable damage: Attacks with two different variables for damage take points equal to the average between the highest and lowest variable, rounded down (For example, an attack that does either 4 or 8 Damage take 6 points)
  
• Poison or any other similar attack that gradually reduces HP: 2 points
  
• Paralysis: 1 point for a 50% or less chance of it hitting. 2 points for 100% chance of hitting

• Status immunity: 1 status = 2 points; all statuses = 5 points
  
• No retreat cost: 1 point
  
• Returning Ally cards from discard pile to hand: common only = 3 points; common to uncommon = 5 points; common to rare = 7 points
  
• Forcing discards of cards from opponent's hand: 2 points
  
• Forcing discards of energy cards from opponent's active: 2 points
  
• Forcing switching of active and benched opponent's fighters: 2 points
  
• Healing: 1 point per HP

Note: In order for your text-form card to be easily made into a card image, please keep the text to a minimum.

Energy costs
1 elemental energy: 2 damage
1 colourless energy: 1.5 damage (rounded down)

In addition, any card that does 8 or more damage has to either have a one-turn delay or an energy discard. For a one-turn delay, average the damage it does over two turns. For example, the Dread Ship does 8 damage spread out over two turns, which only costs four points.[/spoiler]

Expansion Packs

This is a special offer made by the TCG organizers. If you are hosting a forum event and would like to, you may create some cards, fighters, and events, to be added to the card list in the form of a themed expansion pack. All you need to do is create some cards and PM them to me (Sarn) along with a date on which you would like the cards to be released. I will then review the cards and give you feedback. If there are no problems, I will then add the cards to the card list on the date specified.

There are, however, conditions. You must create a minimum of 5 cards and, because only 5 are added to the card list at a time, there will need to be a total that is divisible by 5 (5, 10, 15 ...), with a maximum of 25. You may include pre-existing cards in your expansion pack and these will not count towards your card numbers.

[Ian Wolf-Park]

A slight modification to this card
106:
Lupehunter (Fire)-Common
HP: 6
(F)(*) Firestorm Barrage – 3 Damage
(F) Singe – 2 Damage
Careful, I'm smoking dangerous

Instead of the 'Careful, I'm smoking dangerous' flavor text, can it be changed to 'Mess with me, you'll be burned'?

As for my other card, keep.
127:
Lupehunter, Wolf Form (Fire)-Uncommon
From Lupehunter
HP: 8
Special Ability: Blazing Run-This Fighter does not pay a retreat cost.
(F)(F) Fire Breath – 4 Damage
(F)(F)(*) Cursed Burn – 5 Damage
It's best not to cross paths with this one

[Killix]

COMMON
Killix (Colorless)
HP: 7
Special: Rally – Whenever this Fighter is benched from active, your current active Fighter's attacks get +2 Damage for 4 turns. This effect cannot be stacked.
(*) Cactus Thwack – 2 Damage

RARE
Werewolf Killix (Dark)
From Killix
HP: 15
Special: Inspire Beam – Discard 2 energies from a benched ally. This fighter gains +4 damage for that turn.
(D) Cactus Whip – 2 Damage. Roll a die. If the result is even, the target is now paralyzed.
(D)(D) Phantom Claw – 4 Damage

Not sure if the updated special on Werewolf Killix is too powerful for the amount of points I used. XD If the energy sacrifice isn't high enough (I used 2 because 2 energies are worth approx. 4 damage) I'd like to change it so that it removes 3 energies back to your deck.

[Jina]

Returning Ally cards from discard pile to hand: common only = 3 points; common to uncommon = 5 points; common to rare = 7 points

That seems a little over the top, now I look. Getting the cards into your hand still means you have to find energies, and get the card into play, and so on, so it isn't that useful.

Also,you missed Chibi, which costs one point. It was introduced here:
www.ntwriters.proboards.com/index.cgi?board=ntwftcg&action=display&thread=36161&page=10
and was never put on the first post. =3

Right, I'm not touching my common (except changing an attack name), but my upgrade was underpowered, so I've adjusted it. More drastically than I'd originally planned on, but nobody had it as far as I know, so that's alright. xD

Common
Jina (Air)
HP: 4
(*) Chloroform – The target is now asleep.
(*)(*)(A) Dagger – 5 Damage

Rare
Nin Jina (Air)
HP: 13
Special Power: Nimble - This fighter pays no retreat cost.
(A)(A) Mugging - 1 Damage. The target is now asleep. Discard an Energy from your Opponent's Active Fighter.
(*)(*)(A) Double Dagger - 3 Damage. Roll 2 dice. For each even result, deal an additional 2 damage.

[Amneiger]

Resubmitting cards for myself. A number of changes, especially for Professor Amneiger.


Amneiger (Light)
HP: 5
(L)(L) Dazzler – The target is now paralyzed.
(*)(*) Lab equipment – 3 Damage
"This isn't a pistol! This is that blowtorch that I've been meaning to fix but haven't gotten around to yet!"


Professor Amneiger (Light) (Rare)
From Amneiger
HP: 10
Special ability: Emergency beacon - You can discard this card and any cards attached to it to search your deck for one Spacefleet themed card, which is added to your hand.
(L)(L) Dazzler – The target is now paralyzed.
(L)(*)(*) Automated Turrets - Deal 4 damage to your opponent's active Fighter. If this fighter use a one-turn delay, these 4 points of damage are instead spread out among your opponent's benched Fighters. The player who controls Professor Amneiger chooses how the points of damage are spread out.
See, you get them into a choke point like a long hallway and then you start firing from this end...

Common
Sam (Colorless)
HP: 6
Special Ability: Three-Month Hiatus -- On the first turn that this card is moved from the Bench to Active, no damage can be dealt to it. Status afflictions still apply.
(*)(*)Short Magic Burst - 3 Damage
"Sure, you can attack me...if you can find me."

Uncommon (Upgrade)
Sambeast (Air)
Evolves from Sam
HP: 9
Special Ability: Dazzle -- When this card is put on the field (Bench or Active) roll a die. If the result is 3-, nothing happens. If the result is 4+, the opponent's Active Ally is paralyzed.
(*)(*)Loud Mouth - Roll a die. If the result is an odd number, give the opponent 2 damage. If the result is an even number, give the opponent 4 damage.
(A)(*)(*)Aerial Magic Burst - 5 Damage
"Nicknames seem harmless..."*

I changed Sam's ability and the amount of damage its attack does -- I'm not sure if 4 damage is overpowered for an attack that only requires 2 Colorless energies, so I made the special ability a bit of a detriment to the player.

I also changed the energy amounts on Sambeast.

Thank you guys for working to start this up again. Hopefully I can help you out as much as possible. =D

Edit: Thanks for your help guys. ^^

[Killix]

2 colourless energies are worth 3 points of damage.

Instead of making a special ability that is bad for the card, perhaps make the attack do 3 damage, and give a special that adds +1 damage if the card is equipped with two *insert certain energy type here* ?

[Jina]

2 colourless energies are worth 3 points of damage.

Nothing wrong with a bit of variety, but that's still a good suggestion. xD But either way, the bit about it not being able to be active straight off only really counts on the first turn, and if it's the only Fighter you get, you don't have much choice, so even if you keep the penalty, it'll probably need to be changed.

You could also change the energy cost on the upgrade to (*)(*) for the first attack, and (*)(*)(A) for the second, if you wanted to.

[Deleted]

Guys, to make it easier on me, could you please specify that the card in question is Common, Uncommon or Rare. Those that didn't, please edit your post.

Thank you!

EDIT: Totally up-to-date, thanks everyone. Keep on submitting 'em cards, y'all!

[Jina]

I ended up changing most of these. >.> Oh well.
