Warcraft3 TCG?

For whatever reason last night I came up with some basic rules for a TCG. now theyre still a little blurry + hazy, and not set in stone, but the basic concpet is more or less there. This morning, I began to make warcraft 3 cards, and well to make a full TCG by myself is obviously going to take some work.

I want good art for each card, but thsi could be hard to get hold of as a few units never had decent concept art.

There are 5 types of card, which basically are "armies" The Alliance, The Horde, The Night Elves, The Scourge, and Neutral. There are 4 types of card, Items, Upgrades, Units and heroes. I wont go to deep into the rules just yet. depends how itnerested people are.

obviously this cannot be sold anywhere, and i know it isnt really a war3 mod. but i thought it would be a fun idea, but i think we still should be careful abount copywright laws.

So far, I've made two unit cards, two heroes, and two upgrades. If anyone else wants to do this thing then they can pick an army of their choice and create a layout and everything as long as it still more or less looks like my orc ones (or even better). In the first set, were only having units and heroes found in the proper game, then we'll make up new units for any other sets (if we get that far)

Well I'll just stop now and post up further rules etc if people are interested. Oh one more thign i need- an artist. Just someone who cna draw and colour a few units that we cant find any decent art on. I want to do the Orc + Neutral set, and the rest can be up to anyone else who wants to join. So far in the orc set the unit drawings i need are Troll Headhunter (there a troll primal on sonsofthestorms, but its not a headhunter.) Spirit Walker (not one drawing ANYWHERE!) Demolisher ( I dont know if seige weapons will be included but if they are...) Troll Berzerker, Wyvern Rider, Troll Bat Rider, Kodo Beast, and Possibly the Tauren Chieftan.

If anyone knows where to find a good picture of any of them please tell me!

I asume you know about sons of the storm otherwise, go there, its very good.

He mentions it at least once in his post Frostigt ^_^

He did? oh well... I tried

EIDT: Don't you think the Tauren Healer could be used as spirit walker? Also, couldn't These trolls do then?

those trolls were allready attempted their the wrong size (in height to width ratios so i cant simply resice them)

no, it couldnt be used. it will be used as an extra unit for new sets.

i know sots like the back of my hand when i say i need a drawing i mean it :>

I have an idea. With the wc3c point store system users could use up their points to get a page of cards (e.g a random engine to chose different cards and put them on a webpage (url hidden) ) Then the user could print them out along with a set of rules and then collect them and play with them against a friend. Kind of like buying a pack of cards in the real shops.

Anyways the art looks great keep up the good work :D

6 more cards i made. I know i said id make orc n neutral first, but i thought i might make a quick demo thing, and the demo would be better if it was orc vs humans.

Nice stuff :D

6 cards a day. I promise :D Here you cna see ive changed the way upgrades are set up, it now just says "any unit with (icon)" This saved a lot of space,a s some upgrades affected a lot of unit, and the font was to small. Thank to Xaran for the idea.

I guess I should explain some basic rules....but theres my breakfast. I'll explain later :>

yo Murloc here they r

yo Murloc here they r (some o these ones r crapy)

thanks very much. I've allready made a kodo card. I have some time, so i'll explain some rules, ill start with a description of the cards layout.

OMG!

I love this idea and you have set them out real well. I'll try to help as much asi can im not a superb artist but i will try :) i don't mind helping with the rules and concept either.

Two game ideas:

My first idea is to use them in a map using some expert triggers and some Interface modding (that means moving the buttons around) to create a cardcame runnig on the Warcraft 3 Engine.

My second idea is to come up with a stone set of rules and quite a few cards and actually send them to Blizzard and see what they think.

Other Ideas:

I am a big fan of TCGS and i really dont think you can you can put the abilities details on the back of the card otherwise the player will know what card they are about to draw from their deck (if you are using the standard TCG deck system)

An idea would be to have the abilities in a rule book but it may be a hassle to keep checking through it. I'll keep thinking the abilities and i may come up with something to help you out :)

ahh good point about it being able to see what was coming.

I've allready thought about it being on a war3 map. im not sure.

these abilities will be annoying, a rulebook is all i can think up....

egg's idea is sweet! it increases spam (good ole banning boot), lets people show how much theyve done (its like a trophey), and people could trade and crap...
seems like a good idea, but how would we actually 'battle'?
