I am currently working on a card game and decided to create cards for Matthias and Cluny.
Nifty! Are you going to post them here when they're done? :)
Here's Matthias:
(and yes, I just realized as well that I accidentally put an extra t in his name.)
Here's Cluny:
(By the way, the number in the top right is the speed, the two boxes at the bottom [from top to bottom] are the Attack and defense.)
Oh, cool! Are you going to make cards for all of the characters? How do you play with them - or are they just regular cards, sorta?

For the first question, maybe. Tis not actually originally created for Redwall, although I could make a Redwall expansion series or something like that.
As to the second question, tis a wee bit complicated to explain via posting, but I'll try to make it as simple as possible:
Each player takes turns drawing cards from their decks and setting and activating cards on the field. When each player has 3 or more fighters a player can challenge another player to war, and, until the war ends, they take their turns without drawing or setting cards. (So basically what you have on the field is what's available for you to play with) During war, each player fights with their fighters and activates various effect cards until a player either surrenders or loses all their active fighters, in which case the lose the war, and thus one of their leader cards is destroyed. (The object of the whole game being to destroy all of your opponent's leader cards) You keep warring each other until one player's last leader card is destroyed.
I actually have finished drawing out my first set of them, but I need to scan them onto the computer, write up the rules, and some other stuff. I wish I knew someone who could draw better than I could that could make better versions of my drawings.
That sounds interesting! Something I could play, at least. ;D I'd be interested in seeing your other cards, too.
I'm not a very experienced artist or I'd totally volunteer to help with your designs, but if you need like a redline for your work, it might be worth asking on the deviantArt forums... some helpful artists over there! :D
I see no images. I've tried a couple things, but still can't see them.

And neither can I. :(
And of course I had to put this card up:
(As usual Weasels are the best.)
BASIL! ;D And that weasel is so cute.
Interesting that only the mods can't see these things. =/
Might be worth reuploading the cards to photobucket or tinypic or something so they can have a gander, too. :)
That's a pretty awesome collection. I can't wait to see the others!
Here's Slagar:
I thought I had saved this before I made the Slagar card but apparantly I was mistaken, so I had to create it again. Here's a Single use Event card to go with Slagar:
Slagar is awesome enough he definitely needs two cards. ;D They're both really neat.
I think we all have to admit that slagar was pretty awesome 8) . Those are pretty awesome! Are you taking any requests?

Certainly! I'm currently working on
Wild King MacPhearsome at the moment, will post him up here as soon as I find a good quote for him, and then [when I have time] I'll take requests for cards either of characters from Redwall and the lot or with pictures of your own creations (in which case I would first need the picture).
For some reason it willnae let me post Wild King MacPhearsome. I've tried in the rest of the forum but willnae let me post him there either.
It looks like picture posting was disabled for security reasons. Do you know how to use websites like tinypic.com?
I have a request for a card! 8D Would you do one for Hon Rosie? I have an old picture I drew of her somewhere, will dig it out in just a bit here..

Yep. :)
Thankee.

Unfortunately, I ken absolutely nothing about computer coding. I do ken someone who could do it though, but I'd still need someone to make better versions of my drawings, I'd need to finish writing the rules, marketing, advertising, and the lot.
In other words, It would quite a while for a website for this to appear, but seeing as I have plenty of free time until monday, I'll do my best to do what I can.

Yay, new cards! You get through these pretty fast, huh?
Yes, an "official" thread or website for the game would be awesome. Is there a way to play it online? We could all play with each other! :D
Super sorry for the wait, this (http://i56.tinypic.com/2q8pqgz.jpg) is the picture of Rosie I was talking about earlier. :)

Woops, look at that, an online version, sorta! XD I fail.

I'd make The Gloomer as well, but I need a picture of him first.
the cards are fantastic! ;D
EEEEEE IT'S AWESOME! 8D Rosie card, Rosie card, Rosie card...! ;D
We could do some more of the Mossflower matchups; Argulor and Bane, and maybe the Mossflower version of Martin, and Tsarmina.
The only thing I'd consider is nerfing some of the characters, especially the mice; Matthias with the Sword should be about even with Cluny, and right now he comes off as significantly more powerful, with his base attack/defense values, which doesn't seem to me to be quite how Redwall portrays it.

We could create a "War Armour" equiptment card for Cluny. That might even it out a wee bit.

Looking good!
A bunch of questions about the cards themselves:
I think I understand the attack and defense (or at least have a vague notion of what it might be used for), but what exactly does speed have to do with it? Is it used to determine initiative?
Also, why are all the numbers always so high? Are lower-stat "grunt" cards going to be made later -- and if so, are those the "fighters" that are being referred to (more on that later)?
What does the colored box on the bottom-right mean?
I might have assumed the color of cards has to do with alignment of animal, but that can't be the case because Matthias and Cluny have the same color, while Skarlath is another kind completely. What exactly *does* it mean?
What do the crosses, circles, and stars on the right edge mean, and what difference does it make if a card has one or another?
Why does Slagar have the power to instakill an opposing fighter? I might not be clear on what a fighter is, but it seems that could be rather extreme, if it includes characters like Matthias, et al. I assume Matthias and Cluny and the like would qualify as leaders, not fighters, but that still leaves us not knowing what a fighter is.
If it takes losing all your fighters to lose, and the Orlando card keeps one fighter from being lost, wouldn't that mean that playing that card would make you unbeatable (unless, I guess, Slagar instakills that fighter)?
There are apparently alignment classes that include "darkanoids, lightanoids, and beastanoids". What difference does it make if some character is of one class or another, in-game?
*Tugs at HIAG's sleeve*
Excuse me, kind sir, but I do believe you haven't made one for Martin the Warrior yet!!! You can't forget him!!!
Also, please make a Felldoh one, PLEASE!!! thank you.
If you want Martin, just use Matthias; they're basically the same thing. ;)
*pats Weasel dude's head* Good job! They look cute... I mean awesome.

-Speed is used for setting fighters and determining whether a card is the attacker or defender in a fight.
Let us use an example for each of these:
Setting:At the beginning of your turn [during "Peace"] you draw a card and then roll two dice, and the result is the
Set Roll. The
Set roll, as the name implies, is used for setting fighters. For our example, let's say that you rolled a |5| and a |6| (Equaling: 11). You multiply the number by 10 (thus: 11->110) and that is your
Set Roll. You may then set any number of fighters so long as their total speed is equal to or less than the
Set Roll. So let's say you 5 fighters in your hand, with speeds of 80, 110, 20, 55, and 55. If you wanted to use up your entire Set Roll for that turn, you could set: |the 80 with the 20|, |the 110|, or |the 55 with the 55|.
Fighting:When you decide to attack a player's fighter (during "War") with one of your fighters, (Lets say a card with |78-Spd, 32-Atk, and 27-Def| vs a card with |82-Spd, 29-Atk, and 31 Def|) each player rolls two dice to determine who will be the attacker and who will be the defender. Let's say the 1st fighter rolled a |4| and a |3| (equaling 7), and the 2nd a |5| and a |1| (equaling 6). This number is added to their speed, thus: |85| vs |88| therefore the 1st card will be defending (so its defense will be used) and the 2nd card will be attacking (so its attack will be used). You do the same rolling thing with regards to Attacking and defending, and the card with the lower number is destroyed (sent to the discard pile). The player who's turn tis can keep doing this until either they destroy all of their opponent's fighters, one of their fighters is destroyed, or if they decide not to attack.
So in other words, cards with higher stats either have a speed that makes it harder to set them, or they have an effect (such as
Ghost King which is mentioned below) that prevents them from quickly being set.
-The numbers are so high because all the cards I've been making at the moment are one's that realistically widae high stats. If I made one for say, Abbot Mortimer, the stats would be lower; while if I made one for say, Badrang, the stats would be higher. And yes, (besides the non-Redwall cards I've made) I will be making (as you caw it) "grunt" cards.
-Regarding the "coloured box" on the bottom-right hand corner, you've seen things like that on other types of trading cards. Tis just something for identifying that the card is a real card and not a forgery (I dinnae ken exactly how this will be done, yet).
-The next two questions and the last question can call be answered with the same thing. The colours and the symbols both represent the different classes of fighters. (I'll admit, I should have made Cluny A Darknoid). They both go together, so you wouldnae see a red card with a black circle symbol.
The classes are used for a variety of things. For example, (with my non-Redwall cards) I have a card called
Ghost King that requires you to have 10 or more Darkanoid-class cards in your discard pile in order to be set. Their are also Landscape cards that can effect only certain classes of fighters.
-There are many cards like this in the game, but their are also many cards that can disable or even send the effects right back at the users. For example, Martin's Sword. If a player had Matthias attacked Slagar while equipted with it and the other player activated the instant-kill card, due to the sword's effect it would do nothing and Matthias wouldnae be destroyed. (Unless Slagar killed Matthias via battle, of course.) If you remember from
Mattimeo, Slagar never missed with his bolas. So logically, Matthias without the sword would probably meet the same fate as Vitch.
Leader cards can be identified by the small
L within a circle just above their attack and defense stats. Fighters dinnae have the
L. At the moment with the rules leader cards dinnae do that much, so I thought it would be better if Matthias and Cluny were fighter cards so that they could be used more.
-The card refers to [after equiptment] choosing one fighter from either your's or your opponent's sides of the field. The equipted card cannae be destroyed by battle until the chosen card is destroyed, which means that the instant-kill card would work. So yes, they would be unbeatable, but there are enough effect cards created that this wouldnae be as much of a problem.
Any other questions?
~~~
As soon as I find time I'll make the Martin and Felldoh cards.
In the meantime, it appears that this post has gotten rather long, so I'm going to stop and hit "post" now.

Ok I do have a question: what's a darkinoid, beastanoid etc. ???
They're some of the different classes that the cards can be. A Darkanoid would be an evil character usually such as Slagar, Cluny (who I should have made a Darkanoid instead of a beastanoid), Gabool, and etc. A beastanoid is, as the name suggests, a "beast". In other words, it would be a mouse or rat or something else so long as tis beast-like. (So thus for the sake of this example, an elephant would be a beastanoid while an imp would be a Darkanoid.)
Ok first, those new cards look GREAT!! can you do Russa Nodrey and Luke???
Second, would that make a lightanoid a good guy like Luke or Martin? And can a beastanoid fight a darkinoid? Or darkinoid vs. Darkinoid? Etc.

Any fighter can fight another fighter so long as something such as a card effect or somthing doesnae prevent it from doing so.
I thought as we had Mariel we might as well have Gabool and Skrabblag, eh?

Well, I looked through all the old posts myself and didn't see it -- although you mentioned you would make it at some point, and I actually seem to remember seeing it at some prior point, it didn't seem to come up in any of the posts when I looked for it this time. What post is it supposed to be in?
The card from what I can see has a speed of or above 100, but I can't tell what the offense or defense are... probably in the 30s, but there's no way to tell for sure.

"A frog" is kind of vague; it'd help if you could tell me the error message that went with it, since it shows up perfectly fine every time I look at it?
Nevertheless, I'll repost it up using Head's image hosting service, since that seems to work fine.
Edit: Try looking at them now. First post I made about it. (http://redwallabbey.com/forum/index.php?topic=360.msg8729#msg8729) If this doesn't work for you either, I'm not sure what will.
It's weird. I could see them perfectly. :P :P :P
Well, what do you think?
I might go through and try to make an entire set of characters for each book -- though it's hard to make stats when you don't see the full picture of things; it'd be easier if this game had already been released.
Whoops! I guess I forgot to put it here after putting it on the site. Here ye go!
Luke:
(http://i.imgur.com/VatvR.png)
What does the yellow signify?
I assumed red means beast, green means light, and gray is dark, but with Asmodeus and Snow having completely different colors, and with the yellow cards, I'm not sure now.
Also: 38/38? That's pretty high; Luke might've been a good warrior, but I'm not sure he was better than Martin, and he wasn't as dangerous as a berserking badger (Cregga Rose Eyes) or a golden eagle (like McPhearsome, or if we count the fan card, Argulor).
Actually, yellow is for the Lightanoid cards.
Regarding Captain Snow and Asmodeus, I recently just created two new classes (Aeronoid {birds and flying creatures like Captain snow} and Reptilioid {Reptile-like creatures like Asmodeus). Red actually is for Dragonoids (aka, dragon-like cards; such as: well, a dragon... :-\ ) and since I hadnae created the Aeronoids yet that was the only class (besides beastanoids) that MacPhearsome and the other birds would fit in.
Regarding Luke's and Cregga's stats, Cregga's stats are as they would be without bloodwrath. I could create a Badger Bloodwrath card sometime though.

LUKE IS AMAZING!!!!!!!!! Martin just lived longer to do more. But the thing I like about Luke was that (correct me if im wrong) he was the only MAIN character in a book to die killing the bad guy.
@headinanothergalexy, LUKE LOOKS GREAT! Thanks for making him! ;D I like how the qoute on his card is the same as mine below my posts :D

Can you do one of Rawnblade?
Oh, I was just w ondering, where did you get the pictures?
First off, wonderful job on the cards; I think you're tackling a tough job creating a game from scratch.
A couple of critical suggestions:
1.) I tried reading the rules for playing. They're confusing as ever. Rolling a dice affect this number, which changes this number and determines if you attack or if you don't.... just ??? ??? ??? I don't think it has to be this complicated. Make the game along the lines of the classic card game War where the higher number wins. Set up an army based on the characters you have, higher stats wipe out lower stats.
2.) Some of the images are very pixelated, especially the ones from the tv series. I don't think its my screen resolution, but it is something I'm noticing on the full-sized images.

Well, it really isn't that complicated in the grand scheme of things (though I admit it would be nice to have a full copy of the manual).
Using dice allows there to be a random outcome for some fights, which I think adds a little to the interest factor -- it isn't realistic that if you put two characters against each other 10,000 times, that the same one would win each and every fight. Not having a clear hierarchy can make things more interesting.
Also, War is a very poor game to model a card game after, just because it lacks any decision-making; the only thing a player can do to affect the game is to put the cards back in a pile in a certain order. It's an okay time-waster, but there are better games that require less equipment -- like Rock-Paper-Scissors, which at least has a certain psychological aspect to it.

The card pictures (and this will answer Tiria's question about the pictures) are usually taken from either the books or the TV series -- and I suspect that most of those are actually picked up from the Redwall wiki. I know that's where I got the ones for Tsarmina and Argulor, and I suspect that's likely where a lot of the others come from too.
My cards use the original pictures at their normal resolution, and don't bother trying to blow them up any, but the original cards are often scaled up to fill in the black box -- this can make for a better-looking picture, but if it's too much of an increase, it can make it look a bit pixellated; it's a tradeoff.
@HiaG: I don't want to bog you down with requests, but I personally would love to see a card for Lord Stonepaw (I'm reading Lord Brocktree and it seems right to memorialize him).
When I find time I'll get to work on those request.
I would also like Gonff and Russa Nodrey, but I relize you have a lot of requests right now.
(Edited)
Nay a problem. Someone requested Russa before, and she's almost done; and someone already asked for Gonff, so a card of him is currently being made.
Here's Russa Nodrey:

As to Gonff and the others, the cards have been made but they only have the pictures and names on them so far. When I find the time I'll put their stats and effect/description/quote/etc. on them too!
To James: I guess if I actually saw it in play I probably would understand it better. :) It looks confusing until you know what you're doing.
That's the case with most games.
Here's Gonff:

Personally ah like the effect. Ah think it suits him perfectly. :)
And here's Slothunog:

Ok I have to say, every time I log onto this site, this is the first page I come to to see what new cards you've come up with. You're doing great keep it up! ;D
Quick question: If yellow is for lightanoids, what's green for? Most of the existing good characters use green instead of yellow, so I'm kind of wondering.
Might try to whip up a quick Boar, ongoing with the Mossflower theme, since I like him.

Green is for Beastanoids. And sure!
Here's Boar:

Ah, looks a lot like the one I had going, albeit a little more balanced. ;)
Balance is the key tae makin' a braw card game. Just like with any card game, a card with a really good feature needs to have something that balances it.
For an example, I'll give a quick review of a non-Redwall card called Necromancy:
After activation all of your fighters become Darkanoids, and their stats become halfed and stay that way as long as this card is on the field (and in your active zone). (If a stat is odd then you add 1 and then half.) As long as this card is face-up on the field (and in your active zone) every time one of your fighters is destroyed you must discard one card from your deck and then put the destroyed fighter back in your active zone face-up. If you cannot draw then destroy this card.
The Positive: After a fighter is destroyed it "regenerates" an' comes back to life, thus ye have an invincible force fighting for ye.
The Negative: All o' yer fighter's stats are halfed, thus they're weakened and are easier tae be destroyed. On top o' this, tae "regenerate" a card ye have tae discard a card from yer deck, thus depleting yer deck, nay tae mention tha' the discarding from yer deck is mandatory.
Sae ye may nae lose yer fighter's, but they become weakened and yer deck gets depleted. This would be a card best suited for combining with other cards, an' nay just playin' it because it saves yer fighters from destruction.
As ye can see, tis balanced better than if the effect was:
As long as this card is on yer side o' the field yer fighters cannot be destroyed.
In a quick summary (for those tha' are still confused ??? ) A balanced card wid be one with a braw effect, but low stats, or a card with braw stats but an effect tha' makes it hard tae use.
With Head's permission, I present to y'all two new fan cards, this time Pearls of Lutra themed.
Starring Lask Frildur, the Monitor General, and his followers.

Here's the Deepcoiler:

Deepcoiler looks awesome. Well done!
Can you give us a list of the names of the cards you've created? That way there's no repeated requests.
Sure!
What exactly do the symbols and letters on the "Redwall Abbey", "Slagar Will Win", and "Sword of Martin" cards mean?
By this, I mean the top circle (where the speed box normally is) that contains either an infinity symbol or a 1 or an E, and the box in the place where the attack/defense stats normally are, with the O or the triangle or the sword, etc.
Ah'll ztart with the Slagar Will Win, an' Sword of Martin cardz. Theze two are examplez o' Event (Slagar Will Win) an' Equipment (Sword of Martin) cardz. The triangle is fer an event card and the zword is fer an Equipment card. The infinity zymbol meanz tha' the card can be uzed more than juzt onze, and the 1 meanz tha' it can only be uzed onze before being dizcarded, unlezz the effect cawz fer zomethin' elze (like it returnin' tae yer hand or deck).
Landzcape cardz are reprezented by the "O". Az fer the "E", Inztead o' the infinity zymbol or the 1 they inztead have a certain clazz zymbol, zuch az a Dragonid or a Lightanoid, which meanz tha' the effectz o' tha' Landzcape card only affect fighterz of that clazz. The "E" is fer a Landzcape card that'z effect targetz nay a zingle clazz, but another groap, zuch az yer entire field (Redwall Abbey) or Event cardz or etc...
Here's a new fan card, a joint work by Head and me.

You mean from the show or from the books? Oh, I get it. Lizard/highlander speech really bugs me.
That's the point. He's the only one who really understands it.

Not actually true, I get both just fine.
On a different note, I was considering building a Redwall website for the awards contest and set out to build a site that would serve a purpose yet unprovided for Redwall fans and something unique that would be useful. So I settled on a translator engine for converting lizardspeech into normal english.
But I couldn't find a good background theme, so I decided against it.
P.S. If you bought the above paragraph, you're even crazier than I am for writing it.

HiAG, are you still planning on making a Skalrag card?
What about a Ranguvar Foeseeker card?
Aye tae both!
Quote from: HeadInAnotherGalaxy on July 13, 2011, 11:58:48 PM
I am currently working on a card game and decided to create cards for Matthias and Cluny.
Where the heck's the picture? Do ya hafta be a senior member or something? Oh, by the way, love the Douglas dams tagline!
RIP Brian Jacques... May ye sail on fair seas to that bright, shining home beyond forevermore!
The earlier pictures were posted as attachments, and several of us had trouble seeing those. The newer ones are uploaded differently, so you should be able to see those.
As for the earlier ones, reposts of them uploaded from an imaging host would be a possibility.
I don't mean to be rude or anything HiaG, but is my card in progress, or finished, or almost done, or what?
He hasn't been on for a while, be patient!
I think the weasels got him. ::)
Lately ah've been buzy with other ztuff an' cannae find the time tae work on the cardz, but when ah get the chanze ah'll work on them.

Not really, people didn't used to have hospitals, but if we want to discuss hospitals maybe we should make a different thread for it.
Sigh...you guys are such clowns. I hate hospitals, because I spent 2/3 of my life in one! I was a walking accident when I was little!
Aww. I'm sorry, Nightfire.
Skalrag, pleaze reread the rulez for thiz zite, an' look up the meaningz o' wordz (zpecifically onez tha' werenae uzed durin' olden timez) before uzin' them.
So, HiaG, are you working on a new card, or what? Who's th next card going to be of? Argulor? Tsarmina? WHO?? We're dying here!
Can you make a 'Bloodwrath' card, like you have a 'Martin's Spirit' card?
Ooh! I would LOVE a Bloodwrath card!!! ;D

Whoops. Sorry! I'll edit my post.
What happened?
I wonder how a Bloodwrath card would look like... ;D
Is Bloodrath the thing that Ravengaur Foeseeker (and Nightfire) does?
If so, big red eyes.
Yes it is, and a lot of badgers have it too.
Wow, badgers with Bloodrath. AAAAAAH!
You should make a Ranguvar Foeseeker card, HiaG!!! ;D
Are you serious? I made something like this that is WAY better, there are a lot more options, though I HAND drew the cards so they don't look as nice.
Be nice, Dann; I think they're pretty cool. The Ranguvar card would be nice. ;D
Cool yes, and I didn't mean to be rude, if I offended him than I'msorry for offending him. BUT he should probably include some other things, On my cards I have: Name, Defence, Health, from 3-7 attacks with different outcomes and possibilities. And what's with the speed? What does it do? No Offense intended.
Speed, meaning you can move faster. Speed is often more key to winning a battle than physical strength.
I know, but how do you use that in a card game? ??? Do you move spaces in the CARD game?
Thats really good well done!!
...Fallen of my chair yet again!!! Unbelievable

Quote from: Osu on July 14, 2011, 01:19:23 AM
Oh, cool! Are you going to make cards for all of the characters? How do you play with them - or are they just regular cards, sorta?
For the first question, maybe. Tis not actually originally created for Redwall, although I could make a Redwall expansion series or something like that.
As to the second question, tis a wee bit complicated to explain via posting, but I'll try to make it as simple as possible:
Each player takes turns drawing cards from their decks and setting and activating cards on the field. When each player has 3 or more fighters a player can challenge another player to war, and, until the war ends, they take their turns without drawing or setting cards. (So basically what you have on the field is what's available for you to play with) During war, each player fights with their fighters and activates various effect cards until a player either surrenders or loses all their active fighters, in which case the lose the war, and thus one of their leader cards is destroyed. (The object of the whole game being to destroy all of your opponent's leader cards) You keep warring each other until one player's last leader card is destroyed.
I actually have finished drawing out my first set of them, but I need to scan them onto the computer, write up the rules, and some other stuff. I wish I knew someone who could draw better than I could that could make better versions of my drawings.
So, its kinda like the game War. ???( where you draw a card and the higher card wins. But if its the same card, they have to draw three cards and then draw a fourth. The winner there is the winner of all the cards on the table!)

Could you make a Feragoh card Please? :)
Wow cool cards!
I love making card games too.
Drawing on them is quite fun.
Have to say, after reciewing this topic and the cards themselves, very "Magic: The Gathering" in some aspects.

And of course I had to put this card up:
(As usual Weasels are the best.)

Do Joseph the bellmaker and make a mole card that boosts defense stats or something!
You should make infantry cards like Brownrats, Corsair, Searat, Blue Hordebeast, Long patrol hare, Redwall brother/sister etc. etc. as in grunts and not named characters
If Hiag agrees, I can do those.
Is this still working? Lol, copied MTG with the descriptions :P
Make Blaggut plz, maybe extra speed since he can make boats?
The game reminds me of Magic the Gathering (a little).
Not very much like it.
Will you do gonff?
