Hey Taritus. Looks good!

If you want good pictures/cards go to Creative Projects forum "I am Drawing Stuff". People there may help.

I cant seem to DL the current cards. It just gives me a giant wall of text. (it's all the cards without any spaces or line ends.)

Any opinions on my {Contraptions} idea? or was it too far fetched with M:TG rules?

Also can I please get a offical rule book or something? I have no idea how to play M:TG or this.

[Taritus]

Uh, wut?  I just dl'd them and opened in notepad, and they're fine (they're just supposed to be text).  What'd you try opening the file with? 

[Sharpshot]

Ahh, well when I clicked the Download Link it simply opened in the web browser.
I just used Save Target As and it worked fine.
Not sure if the Download Link is the sites fault or because I use IE7.

Epic awesomeness! This one worries me, though.

Oh, heh, yeah.  I ought to add a (X) to that cost too...

I like the way the card syntax is organized. Don't change it much, I want to screw around with Python a bit.

(Had some stuff here, removed it.) We can use a program called Magic Set Editor to make this stuff really easy. If somebody wants to change up the card frames, go ahead, but it's pretty complicated. I'll whip up some cost symbols. Other than that and some quick recolors and font changes, nothing else is really needed.

Please, for my sanity, use T to represent tapping instead of X. It makes it hard to know when you're talking about X costs as compared to tapping. This is just irking me really bad, you know?

Agreed, this is confusing enough for me as it is.

If anybody who can draw well beyond mspaint then card images would be awesome, but ASCII action shots would be pretty good too. Imagine a hammerdwarf card with a hammerdwrf knocking a creature depending on the deck theme away (Bringing me to a second suggestion, I'll get to that.), like elephants for Boatmurdered, sklek for Nist Akath, gobbos or orcs for soething generic etc.

The deck themes would be based of famous community stories, with decks aimed at replicating the strengths and weaknesses of those forts. A Nist Akath deck would be snow themed with siege engines and a few, highly expensive champion dwarfs. while a Boatmurdered deck would focus on magma based defenses and would be lacking in the offensive department.
A Blockedlance deck would be like a black magic deck, with lots of sacrifices in order to get bonusses in defense and to directly damga the hostile fort (Armok using the power of the sacrifices to nudge the target fort with his small toe, dealing 4 fort points damage, etc.)
An OlonKulet would be another turtle deck, while a Greatbridge or Copperblazes deck would focus on artifacts and megaprojects, etc.

These wouldn't require any custom rules, but it would enable people to assemble themed decks approved by the makers of the game and if possible the story they're based on, that get a few cool combinations.

I guess I could change the tap symbol.  It won't take too long.  I'll upload the fixed set later.

Im looking at M:TG cards and I will say this right now, they are confusing as far as their style goes, it is impossible to see why each card has X card design, they have either changed it alot over time or have a system that requires I know how the game works.

If I make a card design for this I will probably base it off the Yu-Gi-Oh card design.

Not trolling, but what exactly is confusing?

The problem with Yu-Gi-Oh has always been terrible card design and balance. The biggest reason for that is that everything is the same in-game price- Free. Since everything is free, you play the best possible effects. Well the morons who makes the game always make broken ass effects at the higher rarity slots. Even after the broken effects get banned, the best cards are always at the higher rarities. Since the only good cards are at least rare, if not ultra-super-secret-godly-omega-uber rare, duels are actually contests to see who put the most money into buying cards, since a guy using all commons will get creamed by the guy using even a few rares.

Luckily, we'll be doing all that shit and we don't really care, no worries. Since all we really need is a blank card frame anyways, it doesn't really matter what system we choose.

[Sharpshot]

I don't care about Yu-Gi-Oh's flaws and bad design choices, but their card layout has stayed exactly the same so I don't find difference like this.

I'm not sure why they are different of if I just fail at finding the proper cards, but I'm not sure if these are all just different card types within Magic:TG or if they decided to change the card layout every so often.
EDIT: I might use Yu-Gi-Oh's layout anyway because it's a simple layout so it's an easy edit.

I think bones should be a resource. Just my personal opinion.
