need some input on some ideas-NEW CHARACTERS IN LAST POST!

[steve2275]

those look pretty damn good

[BasiliskFang]

These are totally awesome... except for the name of each character.  That's the only part of the cards that looks generic.  See if you can work on that... otherwise, these are ace homemades!

all he needs is a gradient.

[chuu]

you are correct sir, it was a gradient i needed to add.  Also fixed the shadow so it looks closer to the originals.

[SnareguyUT]

Dang chuu...I'm blown away by what you've done!  do you have a template for specials as well?  I could do the dirty work of finding images for you if you'd be willing...lemme know!

[chuu]

Teamwork and Specials templates are next on the list.

[SnareguyUT]

awesome..i'll start collecting images, and have em ready when you are!

[chuu]

check out my new character cards in my thread the specials template would actually be the easiest to make...

[thetrooper27]

You might not be able to get it perfect, but you might be able to find a way to get the effect in the name that the originals had with the gold wavy effect.  I'm not sure how to use photoshot... I always used paintshoppro for my homemades.  I jsut ended up using color schemes and chisel effects or shadows that looked good to me.  Maybe Jack can help you get that down, or PowerBalance even.  His looked really nice, but I think they may have actually been drawn out for the names on his characters.

[SnareguyUT]

just did chuu!  Power girl was one I was thinking of myself...it looks great!  while you're in the mood, you wanna make a few more?  lol

[PowerBalance]

SnareguyUT - You've actually picked good images for the characters, which really matches the "lineless" style of the original artwork! Regarding the Gold Wavy text, I could ask my graphics designer on your behalf of you'd like, as the graphics designer managed to imitate it almost identically. The wavy effect is stretched depending on the width of the names, and has three distinct bands in them.

[SnareguyUT]

cant take the credit on the images...chuu went out of his way and did this all himself!  he just used the grids i came  up with!

[chuu]

created the template to make specials with.  Border can be any colour, gradient or texture.

[SnareguyUT]

awesome!  mind if I find some art for the specials and have you mock those up?

in the meantime, came up with a few more characters...feel free to comment on ideas!  (and mock up hero cards chuu!  )

Sage...5-5-1-8

Photographic Memory (OPD)-Exchange this card for any 1 card in the dead pile and play it immediately.
Jumpstart potential (OPD)-Target teammate gains +2 to all actions for remainder of game
Hacker-Negates the effect of any 1 special card
Predict attack-Only attacks made with universe cards may be made against Sage for remainder of battle.
Multi-tasking-May have 1 additional card placed.  No dupes.
Effective combat-Acts as a level 7 fighting.
Access the data net-Search the draw pile for any 1 power card and place in hand.  May not be dupicate.

Guardians of the Galaxy...4-7-7-4

Coordinated Attacks(OPD)-GotG may make 1 or 2 follow up attacks after they play a Teamwork card for remainder of game
Star-Lord (OPD)- Target hero must discard 1 placed card.  If successful, draw 2 cards.  Do not discard if duplicate.
Rocket Racoon- Acts as a level 3 Intellect attack.  May not be defended by a card with an Energy Icon.
Groot-No cards with a strength icon can be played against GotG for remainder of battle.
Gamora-Acts as a level 6 Anypower.  May be used to attack or defend.  May not be combined with universe cards.
Drax the Destroyer-Acts as a level 9 Strength attack.  If successful, GotG may not be defended with special cards for game.

Trying to think of a different negative drawback to drax.  What about if successful, GotG is -2 to all actions for remainder of battle?

Thinking up cards for Sentry too...i like the grid of 8-3-7-3 for him...thoughts on these?

[PowerBalance]

Damn, I really like the ideas! And Chuu, you have some mad skills man! May I ask where you get all the images from? Seems you have a great library of images!

SnareguyUT, this might make a really good expansion in itself. A few more characters, a couple of new game ideas, and you're all set to go! Love to help playtest what you're working on, as it gets fleshed out.

[thetrooper27]

I feel that access the data net should be a OPD.  Power Port for Nightcrawler is a OPD, and he can't use the power card he gets... just something to consider.

And Drax I think should remain just as the Cyclops special... no special card defense for remaider of game.  9's are big, and when they aren't OPD, they should have a considerable drawback.  -2 for battle might not be enough to make the card fair.  Then again, it might be... I dunno.  I almost wouldn't give the card to anyone else... no one has nonOPD 9's, and I kinda like it unique to Cyke, but that's just me.  Otherwise, these are cool!  Star-Lord's card is way awesome, and I think that would be a perfect pitch for someone in the Evils set... it's something all new, and powerful without being broken.  Great card, Snare!
