Warriors of Myth Freeform "Card Game"

[Zaleramancer]

Some.

Though some of yours weren't terribly expensive.

Giant was only two Earth Mana for a 3/3 creature.

Fext was only three Dark Mana for a 2/3 creature that could gain +0/+2 for a single Dark Mana.. with no limit to how many times it could be used a turn.

You just need to focus on a few elements and themes, rather than rocketing all over the place.

 *sigh* I suppose I could stick with...um...complimentary elements. But, in my defense, I'm scatterbrained sometimes. I won't make the same mistake twice, though.

I'll get on the next card roster right away.

Now, we just need to set up which ones beat which.

For Sky.

What should beat what?

Each should beat one thing and be beaten by one thing, like in the overcoming cycle of Wu Xing.

Suggestions are welcome.

Ahem?

[Celadon's Penultimate]

 I was working on it.

And I only got a couple worked out, so cool your jets.

[Celadon's Penultimate]

Sky
Air outlasts Lightning, and is agitated by Sound
Light is faster than Sound, and is interpreted by Mind (think sight and hallucinations)
Mind  interprets Light, disrupted by Lightning
Sound agitates Air, and is slower than Light
Lightning disrupts Mind, outlasted by Air

This is the best I could think of. Whaddya think?

[Zaleramancer]

Good.

Now do the other two.

[Celadon's Penultimate]

 Oh, ech do machina--!

*sigh*...I'll see what I can do.

[Celadon's Penultimate]

Sea
Water disrupts Dream, and is chilled by Ice
Dream arrives in Darkness, is disrupted by Water
Ice chills Water, cannot stop Poison (?)
Darkness gives way to Dream, and is less frightening than Poison
Poison is scarier than Darkness, and beats Ice (?)

The best I could think of...

[Zaleramancer]

Ice Beats Water, Water Beats Dream, Dream Beats Darkness, Darkness Beats Poision, Poison Beats Ice?

[Celadon's Penultimate]

 Gotta work with me on some of those, but if you don't think they make sense, you could always try your own arrangement.

That leaves Earth. I'll get on it shortly, after I finish my new card roster.

[Zaleramancer]

Take your time. I'm reading a review of FATAL.

It's rather amusing.

[Zaleramancer]

And also slightly infuriating.

[Celadon's Penultimate]

Okay, then. The new line up is taking me a while. Plus we had to go to the store for the BBQ thing we're doing shortly.

[Celadon's Penultimate]

How so?

[Zaleramancer]

Do you know what FATAL is?

[Celadon's Penultimate]

I certainly do not.

[Zaleramancer]

It's a Table-Top RPG.

Widely considered to be one of the worst of all time.

Rather than simply regaling you with how horrible it is, I'll just give you a quote from one version of the rulebook (Was in the review).

For instance, assume you are an adventuring knight who has just fought his way to the top of a dark tower where you find a comely young maiden chained to the wall. Some may choose to free the whimpering wench. Others may free her while hoping to win her heart. Instead of seeking affection, some may talk to her to see if they can collect a reward for her safe return. Then again, others may be more interested in negotiating freedom for fellatio. Some may think she has no room to bargain and take their fleshly pleasures by force. Others would rather kill her, dismember her young cadaver, and feast on her warm innards.

This is the tone of the entire 900 page book.

Do you understand now?

IT HAS RULES FOR ANAL CIRCUMFERENCE.

NO ONE NEEDS RULES FOR THAT. NO ONE.

[Celadon's Penultimate]

That is fracking disgusting...

[Zaleramancer]

They have an entry on Elves.

Apparently, due to their vegetarian diet, they fart 3d10 times per day.

About 15 times per day on average.


Not to mention the character creation process. It's fully and completely independent from you. You just roll dice, and it makes all those pesky decisions about how you want your character to look. And act. And if they'll have spontaneous orgies.
