Homestuck TCG (Set 1: ARTISTS NEEDED | PESTERCHUM MEMOS AT 9 EST)

[Foerumokaz]

Each effect will apply to the OTHER character:

Scenario:

>Char1 and Char2 enter a matespritship.
>Char1's Matesprit eff: +10 Grit
>Char2's Matesprit eff: Attach a basic equipment from the deck
-------------------
Char1 gets a basic equipment attached to it from the deck
Char2 gets +10 grit

Another thing I should probably specify; Some Matesprit effects only happen at the time in which that character enters the matespritship. Some examples are Tavros and Sollux. Their effects don't continuously go on for turns and turns; only the initial time where they entered a matespritship. Another thing I should specify: Terezi's ability: "Cleaning The Thinkpan" WILL trigger Sollux/Tavros's effects. This is because technically, they are entering a new matespritship.

Okay.

Additionally, I'm not sure if you have a picture for epic Dave yet, but I would definitely suggest this one:

I'll look for some more epics. I think that an eventual goal should be for every character to have one by the end, just to add variety.

EDIT: And also a Jade one:

I think This could be used for a Terezi that has more justice-related abilities.

WHOA fashion disaster

[FowlJ]

More potential epics:

Vriska could maybe actually have two - There's also the ancestral awakening thing she gets from rolling 8^8 on her dice.

Also Terezi and Gamzee (The Gamzee one is different from Hussie's 'CANON' Gamzee, but that one looks rather ridiculous.)

I like the Gamzee one.

Hey, let's spam the thread with pictures!

No need to spam the thread just yet. The 5 Epic chars I will be doing for Set 1 will be
John Egbert (God Tier)
Jade Harley (God Tier)
Dave Strider (God Tier)
Aradia Megido (God Tier)
Vriska Serket (God Tier)

If any of you have ideas for the four I haven't done post them now. Also, I was planning on making transformations into epic chars (Like Pirate Vriska or Grimdark Rose) but those wouldn't be until Set 3-4. By then I will have established almost all the characters as cards and then I'll be able to make variations.

[FowlJ]

I know, but you never know if those pictures will still be around when it comes to that point, so if there's a good one it's better not to leave it, in my opinion.

[Foerumokaz]

Gonna try doing basic rose today. I really have NO free time this week. Always taking effect suggestions, just check out the Google Docs for what I need!

[Foerumokaz]

Rose is finished! Now onto hw.....

I've got an idea: if you hand over the blank card templates, we can do our own cards and post them here (ala Yu-Gi-Oh fan-cards)... and if you like them you can add them to the main "canon" deck (or just create the "fan" deck as an expansion pack)

[Foerumokaz]

I'll try and get the files on dropbox tomorrow. I would tonight, but my internet is messed up and everything is REALLY slow

[Varkarrus]

Scrolling through the rules I see a lot of coin flips and dice rolls.
Usually not a good sign to be perfectly honest. Strategies are harder to make when luck is also thrown into the mix.

[Staff Deployment]

Now are you making sure to source all of your images?
That's very important.

One would assume so.

I actually don't use coin flips or dice rolls for too many things. I looked at my rules again, searching exactly for where luck is involved. I only found a few things:

Determining minion attacks
God tiering
SOME abilities/attacks
Determining randomness
Status ailments

It wouldn't make sense for players to choose minion attacks. If you can develop any betteer system for minion attacks, I'd be happy to listen.
God tiering simply CANNOT be 100% or 0%. If t were 100%, players would be reluctant to kill characters.
Such few abilities use coin flips or dice rolls that they can be allowed.
I know of no other way to truly determine randomness
With the addition of Grit canceling out moxy, if you play correctly, you will almost never need to do more than 1 coin flip.

This game actually doesn't rely on coin flips for too many things, so strategies can easily be made. If you don't want to have to rely on luck, use effects that are guaranteed. Card games like pokemon use coins for a lot of things, and strAtegy is still possible there.

WHOA fashion disaster

Actually it's based off of this.

https://www.dropbox.com/home/Homestuck%20TCG1

That's the dropbox link, but I don't know if you guys can just click on it and view the contents like the Google Doc.

If so, please tell me! Unfortunately, I got almost nothing in the world of Homestuck TCG accomplished today.

[FowlJ]

Well, it informs me that the folder Homestuck TCG apparently does not exist. So something done goofed, evidently.

[Foerumokaz]

Hmmm I have no idea. Ill have to look at it later today (4/18")

[Foerumokaz]

I have no idea at all. I checked it on anothe computer and it still works for me, so I have no idea why it wouldn't work for you guys.

I'm debating with an effect for John; idk whether his instant god-tiering effect should be an ability or an attack. If it were an ability, he would 100% God Tier; if it were an attack, he would have to use that matespritship's action, and if he died then he would 100% God Tier. Maybe it could be his matesprit effect?

Does it have to do with the account you're signed in on there maybe?

[Foerumokaz]

It seems that you guys can only view the folder if I personally invite you to view it. To people that really want to mess around with my .psd templates, just PM me or post your email in this thread, and I'll invite you.

[humbleElitist]

move or copy the files to a subfolder of your public folder (on dropbox)
that should make it work.

[Foerumokaz]

Got an character and an equipment for you guys!

humbleElitist: I moved the templates, but how do I share folders from the public folder. I've never used dropbox before, so I don't really understand it thoroughly.

Happy 420! I'm sure you guys will appreciate what Gamzee does when he goes sober. Also, Hitler's birthday is a pretty cool thing to celebrate as well ^_^
I apologize for not updating at all for the past few days, but I've literally had no time to do so. All of my time away from school was soaked up by hw/band/dentist/sleep
