Spoon Posted August 31, 2010 Report Share Posted August 31, 2010 Hi there, Since nobody reads introductions, I'll just head straight to the action First card of the new set I'm currently working on, let me hear your opinion: [center][img]http://img838.imageshack.us/img838/773/234848u.jpg[/img] [spoiler=Lore:][i]As long as this card remains face-up on the field, neither player can activate Spell Cards and the effects of all Continous Spell Cards on the field are negated. If this card is selected as an attack target, you can pay 1000 Life Points to remove it from play and end the current Battle Phase. During your next Standby Phase, return it to the field in face-up Defense Position.[/i][/spoiler] [img]http://img844.imageshack.us/img844/6534/234848r.jpg[/img] [spoiler=Lore:][i]This card is unaffected by the effect of "Discworld - DEATH". Cards in your Graveyard cannot be targeted as long as this card remains on the field or in your Graveyard. If this card is in your Graveyard, this card can attack in your End Phase only as if it were on the field in face-up Attack Position. You can pay half of your Life Points and return this card from your Graveyard to your hand to destroy all face-up cards your opponent controls.[/i][/spoiler] [img]http://img688.imageshack.us/img688/6/234848e.jpg[/img] [spoiler=Lore:][i]If this card battles a Fiend-Type or Beast-Type monster, it gains 1000 ATK during Damage Step only. Each time your opponent draws a card, they must call the name of a card in their Deck. You can ask them to show the drawn card. If you do, and the card shown has not the name they called, it is discarded and 1 card with the name called is sent from their Deck to the Graveyard. If the card shown has the name they called, this card is destroyed and you take 1000 damage.[/i][/spoiler] [img]http://img819.imageshack.us/img819/1981/234848o.jpg[/img] [spoiler=Lore:][i]This card cannot be Normal Summoned or Set. This card can only be Special Summoned from your hand if there are no OR more than a total of 20 monsters in both players Graveyards. This card cannot be destroyed by battle (damage calculation is not applied) or card effects. During either players End Phase, place 1 Time's Up Counter on all face-up monsters on the field (max. 5). During either players Standby Phase, if there are 5 Time's Up Counters on a card, destroy it. Cards destroyed by this cards effect cannot be Special Summoned or returned to either players hand or Deck.[/i][/spoiler] [img]http://img835.imageshack.us/img835/2900/234848ft.jpg[/img] [spoiler=Lore:][i]During your Standby Phase, place the top card of your opponents Deck on your Deck. Your Deck is then shuffled. If you draw a card that is not yours and if this card is face-up on the field, place that card in your hand and draw 2 more cards. If at least 1 condition is not fulfilled, return that card to your opponents Deck. That Deck is then shuffled.[/i][/spoiler] [img]http://img705.imageshack.us/img705/4705/234848h.jpg[/img] [spoiler=Lore:][i]During your Standby Phase, if you control a Field Spell Card, remove 1 card your opponent controls from play (if that card was set face-down, it stays face-down). If this card is face-up on the field during your 2nd Standby Phase after the targeted card was removed from play, that card is returned to the field in it's original position and cannot be targeted by this cards effect this turn.[/i][/spoiler] [/center] The cards will be inconsistent and probably won't have a common theme. Also, this thread will only be updated once in a while, not on a daily basis, because I can't afford this at the moment. If anybody happens to have some good Discworld pictures, I'd be glad if you would share them with me [center][u][b]Random Discworld Quote of the Moment:[/b][/u] He could think in [i]italics[/i]! Such people need watching. Preferably from a safe distance. [i](Men at Arms)[/i] [spoiler=Old "RDQotM"s][i]The pen is mightier than the sword... if the sword is very short, and the pen is very sharp.

(Mort) I AM DEATH, NOT TAXES. I TURN UP ONLY ONCE. (Feet of Clay) "Multiple exclamation marks," he went on, shaking his head, "are a sure sign of a diseased mind."

LiAM Posted August 31, 2010 Report Share Posted August 31, 2010 It's awesome. Like a mini Jinzo. But because it negates and stops spells, it's almost overpowered, like too powerful. But Rincewind is the main character, he should be like, Level 7 XD Tell you what, like Jinzo is a Level 6, make him about 7 (because spells are used more than traps). ATK 2000? DEF 1700? Seems balanced enough to say he stops spells and can stop whole attacks D: You might need a downside effect, like you have to pay lifepoints, or discard a card to use its effect XD. Something to stop you using it over and over. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NeosWiseman Posted August 31, 2010 Report Share Posted August 31, 2010 I think he's fine the way you made him. No need to increase the level and stuff, but LiAM's suggestions is also nice. However, making it more like Jinzo is not such a good idea imo. Just leave it like this. Good luck with the set, Spoon! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And when you look at my cards, you should always keep one thing in mind: They're not made for the actual TCG. Just to clarify that as well. Now for your criticism: Yeah, now that I think about it, it may be a bit to strong... but on the other hand, your opponent has an easy way to still play Spell Cards: Just attack it. Either it's dead and cannot use it's ability, or it's removed from play and cannot use it's ability. And since it also disables your own Spells, it's more like a double-edged sword I'd say. I don't have any experience in the TCG, so I actually have no idea if any of the cards I make is balanced. I'd suggest you overlook that and go on to more interesting aspects... like... "the picture is nice and colorful"... just kidding You can of course comment on whatever you want Anyways, I'm glad you like the card, be sure to check out future ones as well, because it's always nice to also hear the opinion of someone who actually plays this game So long, Spoon Edith says: "Hi Drago You know, I always appreciate your comments " Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LiAM Posted August 31, 2010 Report Share Posted August 31, 2010 Well I understand you can just attack it to use Spells. But you could just pay 500 Life Points to negate all the attacks XD Meaning it's almost an indestructable card. Only traps can stop it really, or monster effects Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm too tired right now and have to sleep, and b. because I just don't want to Nothing against you, it's just that I'm personally happy with the effect.

I WOULD make a Discworld Set, but I'm really pre-occupied with my Doctor Who Set at the moment. I might make a Discworld mini-set though.

Faun Posted September 6, 2010 Report Share Posted September 6, 2010 It's a great idea, I really like the cards you did already. And I love such mini-game-in-game-games like the one on Carrot Ironfoundersson (Tried to write it down after reading it just one time and it worked, yeay!). But while reading the cards' effects I kinda missed the whole wit and wiz thing of the Discworld franchise. But I'm still wondering on how to connect a card game to the DW humour yet without any solution. Keep it up! [quote name='Spoon' timestamp='1283289857' post='4586035']"And what would humans be without love?" RARE, said Death.

The major problem is the kind of humor, it's just hard to translate... especially because this is british humor, something that we germans never understood and probably will never understand Promised, I'm working on it. Maybe I have to redo certain cards for that... I'll try.

Lord Smeagle Posted October 14, 2010 Report Share Posted October 14, 2010 As a Discworld fan, these cards are awesome. And not as a Discworld fan, these cards are still awesome. However, while I admit Susan IS a badass, this is a horrifically broken card, even giving the source material. This card would have people maindecking D.D. Crow out of sheer terror, and the fact that even her dear old granddad's effect doesn't stop her makes it all the more broken. She doesn't seem to have inherited his Compelling Voice in this incarnation, however. The only saving grace is she nails you with a one-sided Necrovalley.
