RE: Fake Card Resources and Help Does anyone have a suggestion for the fond used to write "ENERGY" on the BW energy cards? I tried my whole library without any decent matches.

RE: theGardener's TCG Reboot Project || Update: Marowak & Absol Here are two more Pokemon, and two more refurbished trainers: I actually put five or six pieces together for Marowak's art, I'm rather proud of myself.

RE: PokéBeach Create-a-Card Competition #3: Summer Edition! Here's my entry: I've been experimenting with what sort of art to use with my new TM blanks. I like the idea of abstract images somehow evoking the technique in question, but they're hard to come up with.

RE: theGardener's TCG Reboot Project || Update: Charizard & Mr. Mime Thanks, man! David Sirlin gets part of the credit. He wrote about a mechanic somewhat like that on his blog a while back, though in context of a computer game he was working on. (He's an advocate of sharing game design...

RE: Neko's Random Cards: Ice Age Revival, Regice Cool trainer blank! I really like the idea of a full art trainer. Actually, given what you did with it, it makes me want to go try some full art special energy.

RE: theGardener's TCG Reboot Project || Update: Charizard & Mr. Mime Here are a couple more cards, both inspired by, but not identical to, the original versions of those Pokemon. If you're wondering, Charizard's first attack is not a typo. The "20/20" means that he does 20 damage twice...

RE: Fake Card Resources and Help It looks good PMJ!

RE: PokéBeach Create-a-Card Competition #3: Summer Edition! I'll give the image-based part a shot.

RE: Fake Card Resources and Help Thanks, that's what I needed. Actually, given that, could I just say "Choose 1 of your Pokémon in play. Search your deck for a Pokémon that evolves from it..."? The stage 1 stage 2 business seems superfluous.

RE: Fake Card Resources and Help Hey guys, I could use some wording help. I want a card that lets you search your deck for a pokemon which either evolves from one of your pokemon, or evolves from something that evolves from that Pokemon. For instance, if you had Hoppip in play you could use the...

I'm grateful for the offer of help--did you have something specific in mind? I could sure use help running down good art (right now I'm looking for Full Heal), and also could use your input on balance and mechanics (the input you've already given has been helpful).

Ah, I see now. I've been making up the flavor texts, so I didn't think about that being a factor.

His guide, and it is a BW guide, shows three lines. His new dragon card, and it is a BW dragon card, has four. There was a change.

RE: theGardener's TCG Reboot Project || Update: Skarmory Thanks for all the catches, don()shinobi--I really appreciate it. I guess I need to take greater pains at getting the wording right. I'm used to making my own games from scratch--in which case I decide what the conventions are for wording...

That's really nice looking--the whole card seems suffused with a warm glow. It's a very pleasing look. Mechanics wise, do you need tech against BATTLE pokemon? I thought the idea was that they were nurfed in one department to make up for excellence in another? Also, I'm curious, are there...

RE: theGardener's TCG Reboot Project || Update: Skarmory don()shinobi, yea, I'll try to strike a balance. You're right, I don't want resources to be too vulnerable--but I do want them to be somewhat vulnerable. Anyhow I definitely agree with what you said about keeping their effects from being...

I messed around with that tutorial your recommended, but ultimately didn't love the look that resulted. Still, it's a cool technique, and I'll probably use it for something else. Thanks for thinking of me!

RE: theGardener's TCG Reboot Project || Update: 12 cards added Don()dhinobi, thanks so much for the encouragement and useful criticism! If you've spotted anything in the spelling and grammar department that's glaring please feel free to let me know. (Just as a side note, the "Shuffle." thing...

RE: theGardener's TCG Reboot Project || Update: poison-type Muk! Here are a bunch of new cards I've added by category. Some of them have the same art as existing cards, but only Switch is actually the same as anything that currently exists. Comments about both visual and game-play elements are...

I notice you've switched from the three rows of flavor text used in the guide to four. I used your guide, and tried to adapt it to four rows of text, but had trouble getting the text legible (at least when using black text). Do you have any advice in this regard? (I'm using aschefield101's...
