so i was thinking about ultimate evil

ive always liked overpower morbius

Are any of Legion's Ultimate Evil cards being integrated into this set? Has he had any input?

[chuu]

I'm pretty sure that they are totally different sets and the creators are not collaborating.

With all of these great custom cards being made by people like Bios, OP3, teesaw and yourself, it's a shame you don't all collaborate and make some new sets and updated cards.

That's exactly what this Ultimate Evil thread is all about!  Go back and read from the beginning.  A group of people had an idea, enlisted the help of every one and any one on the forum to participate, and designed a set of Ultimate Evil cards that will (hopefully) be accepted by all the way the Marvels are.  When play testing is completed, I'm sure the rest of the cards will be posted as well.

bios designed the special card borders, and finished just under half of the artwork for the cards.  teesaw and drsleepless are stepping in to assist with aspect/character card designs.  chuu designed the back of the card (and hooked me up with a printer!), as well as helping me refine the image choices for specials.  and it's a good thing too, cause as I've stated before, I'm just not artistically inclined.

on the other hand, I do know what I like, and here's another example



I love how strong this is.  magneto will draw a lot of premature concedes with it

good card

[Wolverine1]

Is bios actually creating the art himself?
Also, why the decision to create a new back?

I know what the basis for Ultimate Evil is, I have been following it since the idea was first brought up. The point I was trying to make was that with all the talented people making custom cards on here, rather than have several people making the same custom Characters. It would be good if there was more collaboration between the different customizers so that some of the 100's of characters that have yet to be seen in OP are made. The comment was a general observation about custom card sets not just about UE.

I apologize for the misunderstanding.
While I agree in sentiment, I don't think it's really possible on a grand scale for all the un-official characters without some kind of central authority.  OverPower groups are too scattered, and many people have their own idea for a character to the exclusion of other's ideas.  This leads to multiple versions of the same characters and specials, which can sometimes be totally incompatible.  I've seen the character card for Abomination in 8 unique grid combinations, the constants being an 8 Strength and no IA.  The creator's view of the character fills in the rest without an "official" status.  Who's to say what's "right"?
And quite frankly, to have a comic-characters hobby at some of our ages, I'd wager that a LOT of us are highly individualistic anyways.
But I DO enjoy seeing all those differences in opinion, and trying to understand how they relate back to the "real" histories and abilities of the characters.
OP LIVES!

I had a very long written response to this.  Unfortunately, I hit the back button, and lost it all.

Type it again! We got time!

In the meantime, as bread mentioned in a previous post, I've volunteered to assist with this project - Because bios has been wrapped up with other things, we've taken the time to reverse-engineer his special card template.  Please evaluate the below comparison and provide any feedback you may have.  If the feedback is mostly positive, I'm going to pick up where bios left off, and I won't be re-creating the stuff that's already finished, even though they cards will be slightly different.  What do you guys think?

The major difference that I can spot is in the icons, and I'm more than happy to upgrade the icons in my template to use bios's, which seem to be a bit better (and something happened to my fighting fist's thumb...)

 

I guess my question really is, do these pass as being from the same set, if you get a box of specials and 1/2 are like the one on the left and 1/2 are like the one on the right, do you stamp your feet and jump up and down about it, or do you accept is as all being part of your love for a 15-years-defunct card game?

[justa]

I think it looks pretty darn close.  I'd have no problem with the slight differences.
I recommend leaving the corners square on the .picture file.  Either way requires corner cutting, and it make the file picture look cleaner (to me) and more consistent.  (See other UE specials that have been released.)

[chuu]

Very nice work teesaw i would accept the changes   wouldn't it be easier to start from the beginning if you're worried that people will complain?  i know the set is about 200 cards, but we've only seen about 20.  So couldn't you go back and remake the 20 that have been shown? i'd be ok either way anyways...just saying...
