Graal Cards

[Demisis_P2P]

Made these today as a sort of proof-of-concept, to try and convince myself that a Graal themed YuGiOh card game style server could work.
I have a wordpad open that I've been writing card ideas down in and so far I have a bunch of card ideas sorted into various decks (incl. Human, Zorbi, Lizardon/Dragon, Bomy, Graveyard/Vampire, and general Equipment/Spell cards).



This one is meant to be a holographic on the front.

ya i can see it working for the younger crowd.

exactly. graal is filled with a much more mature audience. Doubt this will appeal to them

I would play the **** out of a yu-gi-oh server. Not even ironically.

You have a childhood, go embrace it.

Oh my god, someone make this server. I play Yu-Gi-Oh on my DS a lot, i'd play Graal Yu-Gi-Oh constantly... especially if you could buy packs, get random cards (could even be for gelats :o) and then trade etc..

You could steal a lot of Yu-Gi-Oh's card ideas too.

Yeah, the Yu-Gi-Oh games are what made me want to make this. An MMO card game would be pretty sweet.

And I have been stealing ideas from YuGiOh cards.

Sister Gertrude = Dian Keto Cure Master
Golden Glove = Infinite Cards
Superbomb = Trap Hole
Hera's Tear = Monster Reborn

Problem is that it would be incredibly hard to script. Think of all the checks and calculations that would need to be done every turn. Before every card is drawn, or played, or attacks. All the possible effects that cards can have.

Once it was scripted though, it wouldn't be hard to make new cards every single day and release them. And there could be competitions on the server or on the forums to decide new cards. Wouldn't take long to get 1000+ cards.

And if it's possible it would be neat to do tie-ins with other servers as well. Like reaching level 60 of a certain class on Zodiac gets you a card of that class. Getting the Lizardon shield on Classic gets you a Lizardon card. Getting 1600 spar rating on UN gets you an Equipment card. Etc.

great ideas for those cards.

honestly, for the idea of all the checks etc every turn, you could make it a more free-action game.. it'd be hard to deal with some players making dumb moves and breaking rules, but in the end it'd be the easiest way. You could let players adjust their own hitpoints, as if a player attacks them they say /minus 1000 hp

in the end it'd work out alright, with minimal scripting, and you could have ratings on players, so if a player quits out or is a nub players give him bad ratings on his public profile, so people know not to play with him or if they do he'll be bothersome.

but yeahh, i don't know. i think the trading cards aspect and everything would just be great.. something fresh for graal.

I can see it working as a server if it was more than collecting the cards.

Collecting them would invariably be part of the challenge, but the focus would be on battling against other people and building battle decks with different strategies and tactics.
Some of the rarer cards could be available only through mini-games (had an idea for a mini-game sort of like Memory) or raffles, etc. And there could still be quests, although they would probably just be puzzle based.

Me likey. You could like stake up a card in the battle too? and maybe even have a grandpa that you need to go to who owns a card shop and than that one kid throws your cards off the boat uhhrg

no but really I like the idea, and I believe it could work, but than I ask myself what could possibly be a new core server to Graal? it seems no matter how hard you try, most of the player base will refuse new servers.

I know this is old but if anyone is still lookin at bringing this up... I approve.

[Dumdumdidi]

well, i wouldn't, trading card games were never my thing.

Before Classic went dead, Thor released a card game. Although it wasn't like Yu-Gi-Oh at all it was still fun and it consisted of collecting them. I can see this work, but I don't see the crowd being as big as say Zodiac or Era. Also I like your cards they look really good.

Uhm wasn't Thor's card game based off of the FF8 card game?
