Announcing, at a very inconvenient time, the project I've been working on over the past couple of days!
The Unofficial Destructoid: TCG, otherwise known as
Flame Wars
Name Pending
The game is very much still in it's infancy, pre-alpha (Is there even such a thing?), and
way too soon for any prototype to be released. However, I have very big plans for this little TCG and I've locked down a good set of rules to make this TCG/RPG worthwhile and, in my mind, fun for everyone participating. Just to give you a little glimpse, here's a bit of information for you.
Back Story:
The year is 20XX.
Years ago, you were known for your acts in cyber-space. You held a position of authority and respect, one that you were proud to carry, and one that you were sure you would never lose...
Now, due to an unfortunate run in with fate, you have nothing. Your life is pointless. You have no dreams, no goals, no future. You browse the web, desperately looking for opportunities to rise back to stardom, only to find that you are seconds too late, which might as well be Eons.
Hopeless, ruined, and forgotten; that is your destiny.
But, on one fateful day, you find your beacon of hope. You find Destructoid.com and within it, the keys and the foundation to start a new identity. To build yourself back up, to conquer your foes, and claim your rightful spot in the internet volumes as an IG; an Internet God.
Defy your destiny and wage wars against the Internet Gods, and become "Internet Famous" once again.
Synopsis:
In FLAME WARS You're an Internet has been, looking for a second chance as stardom. Using stored up hours (hrs), you can write own blog posts, forum submissions, comments, challenge other players to FNF-Offs, and even call in some special community favors. Through the use of Karma, you can choose to pursue a path to become a revered Destructoid Editor, or feared as the Greatest Troll Ever in the history of the Internet. Build up your points, build up your Karma, beat back your foes with a stick, and claim the victory that is laid before you in DESTRUCTOID: FLAME WARS!

In any case, if your interested, I've set up a
tumblog to catch the information that I'll be dropping over the course of the next few weeks. I'm looking at a June release date, and to anyone that can predict the right day, I'll give you something
special. ;D
Also, I'm completely open to suggestions. I'm not a professional when it comes to designing card games, so any suggestions, questions, or concerns you have, please tell me on here or email me!
Until next time chiiiiiiiildren!

5:00 a.m. is a hell of a time to announce something.
This sounds fun. I'd willing to help test it.
Brecksher?!
5:00 AM where you are.
reffer to teh ghost
he needs lessons on typing.
Is your Avatar a young Gumshoe from Phoenix Wright?
@Rucksack
Yay! Thank you!
@Justice
How do you always know...
Veryyy interesting!
@Bahs
Using my powers of deduction, I recalled seeing a similar blog header with the Megaman scene and of course, the Kanye West Bear. Thus I went to Breckshers blog, saw the same blog header (which is throughly awesome btw) and came to the conclusion that you and he are one and the same!
@Justice
Actually, Hamza pulled the old switcheroo for me so I could keep all of my former blogs and such. So this is still brecksher, just now known as Bahs. And, thanks for the header bump!
I pick June 30 as your release date. Since it's my birthday I'm pretty much obligated to choose it, even though I hope you release sooner because this sounds awesome.
Sounds pretty cool dude! Can't wait to play this at PAX. :)
:D
