Yeh your right, thats why I hope people from Byond will willing offer up themselfs as charater cards, people who have a sense of humore of themselfs.

Of course, the person will be then given the details of their card and see if it is ok with the person in question. They will also be able to give any valid input of what they might want their card to be like, or the special skill or attack they have.

Ooohooohh Pick me because I am awesome. I could be a card


See isn't that awesome.

Damn...It came out good in the post creator.

Oh yeah, I think it is a good idea, if you get enough people willing to be a card. But how will it work >.> like it seems weird.

<edit> Muhahaha Now it is perfect, thanks to Lenox </edit>

Hehe... a LENOX Card, lol



[EDIT]
Lol, I just did that real fast in DM, it works if you treat it like code :P

Well I have a old card game I never completed that I may use ideas from.

Each Charater Card had:

40 Life Points
1 Special Skill: Which could be anything from an attack to a *spell* (we would need a new name for Byond :) )
Turn Points

Bascilly a deck had to have at least 40 cards, 1 of those a charater card. Each turn, the player would gain the written amount of TP (turn points) each turn. Doing specific things, like using a Equipment Card would cost turn points.

Please keep in mind, the orginal card game was a Fantasy Game, where the only Charater cards was a Warrior, Archer, Mage and something else.

Anyways, you could save up turn points, or use them as they come. You are only allowed 7 cards in your hand at one time. Players also had Minor Charaters or Side Kick Cards, so they could have lesser forms of your Main Charater Card. So bascilly you could build up teams of sorts.

So for example, And Ill use your card format:

--------------------
| Raawekon |
| *Picture |
| *Skill |
| *Desc |
| *Rarety |
| |
---------------------

I just used Rawekon for fun. His skill, I would more then likely make something Dragonball Related. While Hedgemistress Id make like, bitch slap or bitch out.

But I was thinking, it would be cool to have a evolution system, so a player would start off with LesbianAssassin and then evo her into Hedgemistress.

Anyways, to keep games semi short, the Life Points would max out at 60. That means if there was a card that allowed you to go past 40, the max you could do is 60.

Ive been meditating on this alot, it could be great. If I cant do what I think it should be, I may just got back to the fantasy adventure one. :P

Right now i have tiny card graphics for on the map, to be laid out. I was thinking about making a Examine command though, so it may pull up a large picture file, with a zoomed in view.

Good, I havent done anything yet and my head already hurts. :P

Meh, could be mildly amusing:

Xooxer:

Form 1: Xoox
Description: Homeless bum with a desire for cheese!
Life Points: 30
Picture: Xoox in tattered rags
TP: 4
Skill: Squtter's Rights
Cannot be removed from play for 1 round.

Form2: Xooxer
Description: Experienced bum with street smarts!
Life Points: 35
Picture: Xooxer in Black Duster
TP: 3
Skill: Pickpocket
Can steal a card from another player's hand.

Form3: GOD Xoox
Description: Enlightened diety with the power of cheese!
Picture: Xooxer in monks robes
TP: 2
Skill: Holy Smite
Can remove any card from play.

Something like that?

Ok, here are the current developement nots. If you would like to add in something, suggest something, or bitch about my spelling, please do so.

Byond! The Card Game development Notes

Byond the card game is a online card game, which plays similar to other popular card games such as Magic the Gathering or Dragonball Z Card Game. The theme of the card game is Byond. Anyone connected to Byond, who would like to create a certian kind of card, or try to publish one, please contact SNickideums on AIM, Shades on Byond Pager or E-Mail him at [email protected]

The card game currently conists of 5 different kinds of card types. We will go through some of these right now:

Charater Card:
The charater card is what represents the card holder in this game. Each charater card is special, and comes with special skills that will always be on hand. Life Points, Turn Points, a picture, description and rarety. Each deck must contain only one charater card. When the charater card looses all of it's Life Points, it is end game for that card holder.

Side Kick Card:
The side kick card is like a minor charater in a story. They would more then likley represented by newbies, IRC channel bots or idiots in the Byond community. A Side Kick Card can be called into play as long as the card holder has enough Turn Points. Each Side Kick card is just like the Charater Cards, but lack as much Life Points, their skills are weaker and they do not have any Turn Points. A Side Kick card also uses Charater Card's turn points to perform skills. If a Side Kick card looses all of its Life Force, it is discarded from play. Only 1 of each kind of Side Kick Card may be in a deck, but there could possibly be different varations of the Side Kick card, which are allowed to be in the same deck. A Card Holder is only allowed 3 Side Kicks out at one time.

Combat Card:
A Combat Card is a card used to attack another target Card Holder. Each Combat Card is only good for one use, unless otherwise noted. To use a Combat Card, a it must be the Card Holder's turn, and they must have the correct amount of Turn Points to use said card.

Equipment Card:
A Equipment Card is a card used to help the Card Holder when nessesscary. A Equipment card can range from a weapon, to a artifact or even as simple as food. Discard Equipment Cards as directed. Weapon Cards stay in play, as so do their effects until the weapon card is removed from the game. Players may only use one weapon card at a time. To use a Equipement Card, it must be the Card Holder's turn and they must have the correct amount of Turn Points to use said card.

Skill Card:
A Skill Card is used in a number of ways. A Skill Card could heal a person, damanage another, or do something outrageous. Discard Skill cards as directed. To use a Skill Card, it must be the Card Holder's turn and they must have the correct amount of Turn Points to use said card.


Game Play

The game starts when there are 2 players, with a deck that follows the deck rule guide lines.

1. Each deck must have at least 40 cards.
2. Each deck must also have 1 charater card.
3. Each deck may not have reacurring side kick cards that are identicle in nature

When the game starts, a coin is flipped, the called side gets to go first. Each player draws 7 cards and begins.
The winning side will now place their charater card out, then the other side in that order.

Phase 1: Draw Cards
In Phase 1, the current Card Holder will draw 1 card from their deck, if the Card Holder has more then 7 cards in their hand, they must discard cards until they have 7 or less in their hand. If at any time the Card Holder runs out of cards in their deck, they loose. In this Phase Card Holders also gain their Charater Card's alloted amount of Tunr Point gain. After this Phase, move to Phase 2.

Phase 2: Play Any Non-Combat Cards
In Phase 2, the current Card Holder is allowed to play any Non-Combat cards, or skills from their Charater Card or Side Kick Card. During Phase 2, the Card Holder can play cards in any order they want, unless otherwise specified by a card.
Any Skill card can be played as long as it is not a Combat Skill Card. After this Phase, move to Phase 3.

Phase 3: Play Combat Cards
In Phase 3, the current Card Holder is allowed to play any Combat or Skill Combat Cards, or Combat Skills from Charater or Side Kick Cards. The current Card Holder may target any Side Kick Card OR Charater Card when they attack, but if the target Card Holder has any extra Side Kick Cards, they may choose to block the attack using their Charater or Side Kick Card, moving the damage to that card, unless otherwise specified. The target Card holder, may also, if they wish, play a Skill Card or Skill from their Charater or Side Kick Card in retaltion, but it may not be a Combat Skill.

Phase 4: Switch Sides
In Phase 4, it is now the next Card Holders turn to go through all Phases, starting from Phase 1 again, unless otherwise specified.
