Hi everyone! This Thursday October 10th will mark five years since Cape and Cowl opened in 2008. To commemorate half a decade of dysfunctional superpowered failure and defaced landmarks, I'll be starting a FAVOURITE MOMENTS MEME to share our favourite moments of heartbreak or hilarity from the game and reminisce accordingly. The early notice is so you can start digging through your memories for your favourite moments! Last year's meme is here for reference.

ETA: Sorry everyone, looks like this isn't happening. Please enjoy a tumblr full of hideous C&C fanart instead!

Cape and Cowl: The Trading Card Game 3.0

As claimed, it’s the third C&C Trading Card Game meme! Once again, the rules and master document are up here.

This meme is for creating, sharing, and discussing new cards and decks for the C&C card game. These can be cards for current or past characters, events, places in the City, NPCs, memes, or any other part of Cape and Cowl you would like to see included in this game!

Former player Britt is a flawless person and has actually made up a downloadable template for editing your own card images- you can see the results of her work here. The colour code is Blue = Hero, Gray = Anti-Hero, Yellow = Civilian, Green = Government/City Hall, Orange = Anti-Villain, Red = Villain, Black = City and Event cards. The previous meme is here for reference.

-If you are making a card image, please also fill out one of the forms below for card text so the details can be added to the card master list! If you don’t want to make an image, go ahead and fill out the form anyway and an image may be made for you!

Character Cards

Event Cards

City cards

( tips and guidelines behind the cut )

Older card images are available on Google Drive, and also on the Tumblr. Iola has also prepared an album of Event cards.

Thanks to Iola and Dalrint, there are also organized master text lists for Character, City and Event cards.

-Many older cards have been modified from their initial draft to conform to rule updates or to clarify wording. When there’s a contradiction between what a card image says and what the list says, generally go with what’s written on the master list.

I hope everyone has fun, and please let me know if there are any questions!

Cape and Cowl: The Trading Card Game 2.0

As claimed, it's the return of the Cape and Cowl TCG! The rules of the game are here. Make cards, post them, praise each other’s work, discuss and react! The goal of this meme is to make lots and lots of cards, have fun adapting the setting to something new, and maybe come up with a neat playable game out of it!

I'd like to thank Britt for all the image stuff, Iola and Zoe for helping with playtesting and checking the new rules, and Theo for proofreading the final rules post. This meme is dedicated to AJ, who had a big role helping this project, especially playing out fun test matches.

So without further ado, let’s make some cards! Brit is a flawless person and has actually made up a downloadable template for editing your own card images. The colour code is Blue = Hero, Gray = Anti-Hero, Yellow = Civilian, Green = City Hall, Orange = Anti-Villain, Red = Villain, Black = City/Event cards.

Alternatively, forms for just card text and details:

Characters

Event cards

City cards

-Note: Make sure you’re brief but precise in your card descriptions! Specify if an ability if passive, if cards are discarded from the field or from the hand, if City effects take hold right away etc. Trust me on this, it comes up a lot in playtesting. By default, descriptions refer to cards currently in play and City effects take hold the same turn the card is played.

-Other note: multiple version of the same card are allowed and encouraged. Example, if you think you’ve got another idea for a Jack Bauer card, go ahead and make Jack Bauer (2.0). Cards from the last meme can be used in play, adjusted for the new rules. If you want a card made for something but can't think of how it should be, just volunteer them in this thread and someone will get on it for you. There is also this thread for people who actually want to try playing this thing.

Let me know if there are any questions!

FAVOURITE MOMENTS MEME!

batshake

-Post with a character, event, or other prompt! Dropped characters and players that aren't around anymore are welcome!
-If you want to just list your favourites promptless, that’s great too.
- Others respond with their absolute favorite moments featuring your prompt! We're talking moments that were hilarious, awesome, heartwarming, or that you otherwise loved. These can be in-game or meme related- posts, threads, whole plots, bits of fanart, anything. If you feel like it, add a link to refresh everyone's memories!
- Do the same for others, spread the love! There is also nothing wrong with throwing your favourite times from your own character in there.
- Linking to favourite moments from character canon is excellent as well.
- Fun times, great memories, and general happiness are shared by all!
- No one can be late!

This Wednesday, October 10th, will officially mark four years since Cape and Cowl opened in 2008. We'll be commemorating it in spam with a favourite moments meme, where we gather up our most beloved moments from the game and reminisce together about past joys. A lot has happened in the game, so this early notice is so people can start digging through their memories for what they'd like to share. Last year's installment is here for reference. See you Wednesday!

Cape and Cowl: The Trading Card Game

( Rules behind the cut )
These rules are a rough sketch, and everyone should feel free to play with the mechanics and the template at their leisure. So without further ado, let’s make some cards! Brit is a flawless person and has actually made up a downloadable template for editing your own card images- you can see the results of her work here. Colour scheme is Blue=Hero, Grey=Anti-hero, Yellow=Civilian, Orange=Anti-Villain, Red=Villain, Black= City/Event card. Alternatively, for those not inclined to image editing, a form:

Make cards, post them, praise each other’s work, discuss and react! Feel free to ask if there are any questions about rules or stuff.

ETA: Template and blank PNGs available here! New colour schemes will be posted when ready.

Remember how I went on a trip the other week? Well, I had a lot of time on my hands on the plane and at the airport, and I ended up writing a C&C story on the way. It's from an NPC cop's point of view, and I decided I ought to share it with the community.

( It's called Beat )

$donttasemebro: (D:\oh. ... fml.)$

SO: for various reasons, I am trying to look up every instance in which a character who has died and come back has had both the date of their return (approx.) and the date(s) on which their powers returned (approx.) mentioned, by themselves or others, in a public OR relatively hackable post/comment. Basically, if a character wanted to ICly research the Porter's implied death and power-stripping rules using the Network, what would they find?

Yes, I am insane. Possibly even more insane due to the fact that I already partially did this over the course of the past few hours ~~oh god what is sleep~~, so this post is half asking for y'all to fill in the ones I inevitably missed/fucked up and half just plain sharing this monstrosity with the game because I know I am not the only one with an infuriatingly tech-literate datamine-happy character, goddammit Bruno.

( and here is the hideous textblock/linkpile in question )

Note: Obviously this only covers deaths that have occurred since the death-rules change in early 2010

Many of us are no doubt now writhing in mental agony, deprived of our usual plurky method of wasting time and avoiding actually doing things. But there is a solution!

GET IN GODDAMNBATCHAT

so caps and i were talking and decided there should be an event where everyone starts balding.

IS THERE ANY INTEREST IN THIS GUYS

also how the frick do we make this happen

TvTropes is a wiki dedicated to compiling and cataloging the various tropes, devices, and conventions present in various forms of fiction- including Livejournal roleplay. And it's been quite a while since we had a meme devoted to said website! So it's time for:

The TvTropes Meme

The rules are:

1)Click on the above link. Prepare to have your time wasted.
2)Post here with your characters or a Trope.
3)People respond with applicable Tropes or examples from C&C, or you give your own! You can list tropes applicable to game history, or simply link a relevant series/character page. Or, a thread for C&C Tropes might have a comment titled Crowning Moment of Awesome, C&C Edition, and examples of awesomeness from the game would be given.
4)I'm updating C&C's trope page, so let me know what you think belongs on there! I'm only doing tropes for the game itself and its events: since C&C has a constantly-shifting roster of over a hundred characters, trying to do tropes for individual character traits would surely lead to madness.
5)Everybody has fun and feels good! See this tag for past examples of how this thing works.

Questions?

hey guys

guess what

IT'S ELLE'S FREAKING BIRTHDAY
YOU KNOW WHAT TO DO.

HELLO, GUYS. Today is my two year C&Cversary! (Also Gabbie's, so even though she's on hiatus, give her a holler.) I would offer art and writing and gifts, but unfortunately, I've been a little too busy lately to make that worthwhile! However, I would like to ask:

Has anyone ever written up their character's in-game history?

This game has been open for some time, now, and I know that I'd be hopeless trying to follow everyone's plot threads. But I'm genuinely curious! What have your characters gone through since they've arrived? How is their development? Who were their old friends, their old enemies?

If people are interested, we can make this something like the CR charts -- in a week, everyone can return to spam to show off their character's in game history. Something like 'So and so arrived on this day and immediately made friends with Bob, Joe, and Clarence and then, while making dinner, BURNED DOWN THE MAC' with relevant links in relevant places. Like a storybook! Does this make sense? Is this cool?

And guys, man. I have had such a blast in this game. I wanted to sincerely thank you for welcoming me into it. I can't even verbalize how amazing you all are. Where would I be without you? ♥

OHI GUYS

Not so much spam, as... Me searching for a mentor for Yoite here, since he's kind of lost and needs someone to kind of guide him a bit.

Someone a bit older than him and male preferably, as Yoite is a lot more careful around women than around men. He basically needs someone who'll be there for him as a positive presence and be willing to treat him like he's not made of glass and who will give both the teenager and the ninja in him a bit of direction as opposed to now when he's just kind of running around like a headless chicken and just. Building more and more walls around himself.

He needs something more in his life than just. Sitting. And thinking. And feeling like a waste of space. So yeah.

~~And I would also like for the mentor-y person to eventually try to get him to see a psychologist or something because he needs it~~

... BUT YEAH.

CALLING ALL MENTOR-LIKE PERSONS WITH THE ABILITY TO GIVE HIM SOME ONE-ON-ONE GUIDANCE AND DOESN'T MIND A MOUNT EVEREST OF ISSUES TO DIG THROUGH!! HALP PLEASE!!!

GUYS I MISSED C&C'S BIRTHDAY

BUT I STILL WISH TO CONTRIBUTE TO THE FESTIVITIES

Comment here mentioning a character or plot or something- past, present, yours, someone else's- and I will tear through the musty tomes of C&Cs history to find glorious and memorable moments to commemorate the anniversary with.

For reference and to avoid repetition, previous efforts in this direction are here for your reference.

HAPPY BELATED C&C!
