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!

Jesse here, claiming the Sunday meme spot for the THIRD installment of the Cape and Cowl Trading Card Game meme! This is the meme where everyone makes up cards and decks for a card game based on C&C's setting and characters, either in text or actually making card images. The last time it happened is here for reference. Since then the rules have been improved, new cards have been created, and more accessible references put up for all the cards that already exist.

The 3.0 rules of the game include example cards, guidelines for building decks and playing games, links to collections of card images, and links to the master text lists for cards. Playing the game over Googledocs has worked well in practice, and I'm hoping we end up with enough cards to get some games going. Former player Britt has prepared an edit-able template for cards that can be downloaded here! It should be usable by anyone who has Photoshop or Gimp.

This advance notice is so people can get familiar with the rules, ask any questions necessary, fire up their image-working programs, and start coming up with ideas! The meme goes up Sunday.

As a side note, I'm very grateful to Iola, King, and Dalrint for their invaluable assistance in making this project happen!

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!

Jesse here, claiming Tuesday's meme spot for the next installment of the Cape and Cowl Trading Card Game meme! This is the meme where everyone makes up cards and decks for a card game based on C&C's setting and characters, either in text or actually making card images. The last time it was tried is here for reference. Since then a group of current and former C&C players have been revising the rules, playtesting the game in practice matches, and coming up with cards for a new meme.

The new rules of the game are here with example cards. Trying the game over Googledocs has worked well in practice, and I'm hoping we end up with enough cards to make it fully playable. This advance notice is so people can get familiar with them, ask any questions necessary, fire up their image-working programs, and start coming up with ideas! The meme goes up Tuesday night.

ETA: Britt has prepared an edit-able template for cards that can be downloaded here! It should be usable by anyone who has Photoshop or Gimp.

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.

Guys. GUYS.

Canon-sharing time.

If you're awake and bored on a Saturday morning, turn on your local CW channel. They're playing the Doma arc of Yu-Gi-Oh. That means Alastair and his cronies are on TV again.

Might be the last chance to ever see it, assuming they never release the rest of this arc of dvd now that 4Kids lost the license and is being sued by TV Tokyo...

I'm in YGO nerd heaven right now, even if this is the dumbest episode and the weirdest plotline arc of the series up until GX and 5Ds came into being. ;)

I will now be awake at 11:30 every Saturday for the next few months.

I have only three words to describe last night's episode of 5Ds:

lawl, active canons

So tell me, GDS, do you play from a canon which is currently still producing new material? And, if so, has your canon ever suddenly grabbed your personal headcanon by the balls and diddled it up the ass with a rake?

spoilers: despite how this sounds i am actually super excited with this twist, it is way cooler than anything i would have come up with * u*

By golly I have multiple thoughts, so a leetle spam post is the easy route...

Alastair is getting kidnapped by the Major this Friday, to be brainwashed. Hell Towers guys, you might notice that instead of dragging his sorry ass home from a club at 3 or 4 in the morning, he's actually out till dawn. It's unusual for him, but for the sake of not metagaming it's not unusual enough to immediately raise suspicions. However, if he starts saying nice things about Nazis then maybe you should worry. ;)

On a related note - AY. HE WANTS TO TALK TO SAITOU BEFORE THIS GOES DOWN.

Sanji...needs some action. I noticed myself straying a bit OOC with him because I needed to get him out there but I couldn't do it without fudging the circumstances. He does, however, have outstanding threats against Shiro and Grimmjow, so if either (or both) want a knock-down drag-out brawl, here he is! He's slowly been realizing that he's become less of a pirate without his crew around, and may be consciously trying to change that. So if anyone else is up for encouraging shenanigans or getting into fights with him, poke me!

I'm still on the fence about Geddoe but as an FYI for people who have CR with him and would have noticed by now that he's dropped off the face of the earth, he's actually left the City on foot and is hiking as far as he can from reminders of what happened with the Rune. He has his comm, it's still active.

*goes back to cleaning house and unpacking from the weekend*

Figure a month is a good lag to make sure most, if not all, of the posts are finished up for statistics. So, I give you June in graphs!
