Scratch

Alright. I'll be posting the pictures without the card templates since we're changing the card design. Also we need someone we can make like fractal backgrounds or something for the cards, or something other than ugly gradients

Okay, go ahead. Anyone is free to make their own, and then we'll vote on the best one if there are a few

Not sure what my pic for a card would be like, but as for the ability I'd like something fairly aggressive (making me a Dark card, most likely). Something like:

"When playing this card, you may reduce it's Defense to half. If you do so, your opponent discards the top card from his/her deck."

If you're still going with 14 cards in the deck (which still sounds insane to me), discarding just one card would already be a pretty strong ability.

Oh, so it's meant to be a fairly simple card game focused on characters. I actually kinda want to see how a card game with tiny decks would turn out, here in Chile there used to be a soccer TCG of sorts that had really tiny decks too.

This sounds like a cool project! You can count other Scratchers' posts using the search page! Just search by author and set "Show results as:" to "posts". There are 25 posts per page (if you have the standard posts-per page setup, so you can do

((numberOfPages - 1) * 25) +numberOfPostsOnLastPage



That gives me 4343 posts, making me level 4

Would the picture of me in my siggies do?

As for two special abilities... I think I'll have to think on that one. Any suggestions?

I need the card base!

Also there's these images for some other cards:

Dat card shape.

It's kinda funny how you've spoofed up the pictures to make them look all buff and angry.
May I suggest adding big, sharp teeth to mine? :D

Once you decide on a template I can make backgrounds/textures and a cool logo.

Here's an idea:
The circles hold the stats in this order: Type, Level, Attack, HP, Turn Timer. The big oval is for the picture, and the bottom box is for the abilities.

There's also another idea we were considering, having Tabs on the cars for different sections, including attack and defense, abilities, and flavour text, with each tab having the picture (or maybe a 4th picture tab)

Is that a good thing?

Yeees. They look pretty good. Maybe make it look a bit more metallic or glossier in the final design. I just noticed one of the back card designs has the Scratch Cat's head in it - that would look pretty good in metallic silver. Maybe for a special kind of card, though as far as I'm aware no card needs to be separate from your deck.

Well there is a need for like 'Deck Master' type cards that make you lose the battle if they die. It'd be easier to implement than 'life points'. I was thinking of having Scratch Team members be those cards but I don't know how we would draw them since the artist can't draw humans well. And yeah the cards would have been pimped out with photoshop effects and filters but we were still working on the basic design.
