New Magic Card Game

[tom.n3m]

Hello! I am new to this board, and I hope there are some active members here that would reply to my calling. Although you might not be the most appropriate public, as you are interested primarily in role playing games, and I in card games, I hope there will at least be some who have friends who have friends... who might prove helpful.

Anyhow, I like the game Magic (the Gathering), its world, creatures and spells and game rules. However, what I don't like is the price of the cards. To put together a decent deck, one would have to spend several hundred dollars, usually without any chance of retribution. I personally would much prefer a free game, which would be played on the internet, with many more players participating, using more crazy and/or subtle tactics not needing expensive cards.

That is why I decided to try and create a new card game, based on Magic, that would be similar yet better (we would learn on the mistakes of Magic's design), slightly more complex and strategic and would have a greater emphasis on tactics and card combinations. As I cannot do it all by myself (I would need professional artists, native speakers, pun writers, designers, card designers, ...), I am trying to summon a web community that would take care for the development of the game. That is why I ask here:

    Is anyone interested in participating in creating a new game?

As soon as enough people are gathered, we would start discussing basic rules and concepts of the game, and then the first hundred cards would be created, followed by a online client for online play.

Please respond. Tom
