Project PBB Card Game

[Martin]

As for the cards themselves, well...
I hope I can describe it well: I mean, I have the image in my mind as if I had the card in my hands, but...

Okay, this is what I had in mind:
The actual card is the size of an average playing card, more or less: but the actual content looks like two rectangular spaces, one atop the other, the upper white, the lower yellow, with a nice gold/yellow border surrounding and separating them, whose width is about enough to hold a size 12 bold font without choking it. This, at least, for the Character (main and sidekick) and Tools 'n Tricks cards.

For the Location cards, well, I was thinking about the same thing, only the division would follow the WIDE side of the card, with the upper white space being about twice the height of the yellow, in order to obtain a "widescreen" effect. I mean, landscapes are nice when they're wide, aren't they?

I don't like it. I'll make more so we could choose. It's the size of the ones that asanoryu showed at the beginning of the topic. And the edge is from the "Join now" pic from PBB.
Another thing we should decide is what kind of corners should the card have: rounded or square.

Aces!Thats great man! I see you've cut out "pleasure".Still looks dashing though.The outlines are great.This card can be perfect for,say Violet and Betty.Oh,can you make the text boxes in different colour for some of the characters?Like,for an example,Violet and Betty in pink,Mary and Simon in blue and so on and so on.
So the next thing on my list is...*takes a look at his litle black book*ah yes,the characters are not ready yet.Alea jacta est,im geting to my work!

MaZda,i forgot to ask you something...can you make the first cards,say twice bigger then the current ones.Its for the characters,im thinking that the normal cards should be for sidekicks and items.

Watch it, YC... if he makes BIG cards they won't be easy to shuffle! (although the CCG of World of Warcraft DOES use gigantic character cards )

[maZda_equals_Zandria]

1- You almost couldn't read "pleasure" (look at the flags on the home page of PBB) besides when I say BonBon I mean Pleasure BonBon. If (c) forces me to put it, I'll do it.
2- Different colored text boxes - no problem.
3- I could make them big, but that would make it hard to shuffle, play and the opponent could realize how many of what cards you have.
4- Do we need a backside for the cards?
5- I'll do the location blank card that Martin suggested... panorama like.

Just now I and YC talked about the cards and I'm not so familiar whit thw WoW TCG but I think there are 1 BIG "hero" card and 2(or 3)small(the size of the other cards)that are the same exept the pose of the "hero" I thik we can use this as for the back we talked about that too and I think I have an Idea but if someone has one Now he can say it

Now first of all,maZda,Martin,the big card doesnt have to be shuffeld,nedless to say it shouldnt be shuffeld.WoW style,exactly!The idea is,the main you choose,should be the card thats most visable.Bigger picture,biger text box,aww you know what im talking about
Yeah defenatly,me and sLaV were trying to think of one that is most suitable for PBB TCG!Sadly nothing came out...
About the ©,thats for Martin and Vanessa to decide... And i need to ask you guys,do you have a chat program,mainly skype on your PC?It would make it much easier...if not,then we keep fluding the forum!

I mostly use Yahoo messenger. For the back.... something with the PBB logo. As for the size... whatever. This shows how much I understood the rules.

Um, exactly how did you assign the stats and HP? Plus, I don't think we need the personality on the card... remember, we need to save as much space as possible, after all!
Plus, why make Greed usable only once per game? After all, the good of getting the card you want is countermanded by being defenseless for a round! Of course, that could create problems...
Ah, almost forgot! You gotta put the sexual orientation too... After all, I don't really see Dorian putting the moves on Violet, no sirree...

That said, how about making a list of potential card ideas? No need to actually CREATE them, just think 'em up. The more ideas we crank up, the more cards will come out.
Of course, the list of characters is kinda easier than items or locations... MAKING them will be the bitchy bit.

[YoungCesar]

I don't know,i just thought up the most suitble points for the character,while obtaining a balance with origin/ability.
No personality description?Ok,i thought there will be some extra space.
The reason i made "Greed" usable only once,is becouse there are allways atleast 3 most powerfull cards in a deck.If you get to use Greed every turn,you mite as well pick your 5 cards from the start,which by the way is sort of cheating.You loose some HP,well what the heck,you'll aways have a trick/tool card to restore it!The trick is to use only once and get the card you need most."Greed" before "Need".
Ooops!I knew i forgot something!

I have question about the HP isnt it the same for all the characters?

Nope.The max HP is 40,i think, and different characters have different HP.

Now i have to ask you guys to post your avatars descriptions,so i can make your character fit in correctly.That doesnt go for you Martin,you could create yourself if you want and if your feeling too lazy i can always do it. But that goes for you sLav!And mAzda,if you want you can make your character too.

Hmm...
I just noticed that most cards put up by now have at least one stat at six... Abilities aside, they're starting to look mighty similar.

Frankly, I was thinking of making a mental scale, you know, from 1 to 8, to make making cards easier. Mind you, I think only two or three characters in all the story will hit eight on an UNMODIFIED card...

Then, without further ado, here's the scales!

Power:
1 - has trouble fighting plants; 2 - outwrestled by kids; 3 - low-average; 4 - average; 5 - has an edge; 6 - tough; 7 - don't push your luck, kid; 8 - unstoppable powerhouse

Seduction:
1 - Social attitude of a lawn gnome; 2 - quite awkward; 3 - kinda shy; 4 - likeable; 5 - downright sexy; 6 - freakin' alluring; 7 - center of the attention; 8 - must... have... in... bed... now!

(honestly, I put "5" to my card's power because of the poison spurs that platypuses have... gives a nasty edge, all right!)

Oh, and maZda? how about using "Resourceful" as an ability? it's not overwhelming, and can be helpful.

[YoungCesar]

Fuckin' A!I was starting to think the same thing.Good thing you came to the rescue
Ah,i just thought of something...the way i did my fursona...my chracter will become too powerfull...and some of them will become too weak.Take William for an example.The poor guy gets outwrestled by kids and his kinda awkward(being the light term)

Yup, resourceful is good and here are some blanks: http://mazdazilla.deviantart.com/gallery/
I thought that the Blue Land cards help out the Blue character cards.
