Weekly Design Contest / Weekly Design Contest #195 Old Dominion Had A Farm

« on: August 09, 2023, 04:35:53 pm »

This week's contest:
Design an animal themed card!

There are some cards in dominion that are animals. This week i want you all to design a new one! Altough this isnt a strict "make a card that does X" design challenge, animal cards in dominion tends to have these traits in common:

• They tend to be simple. +1 Card or + Actions.
• But they also have some a distinct easy to understand twist: Rats makes you trash another non rat card in hand and gain a rat. Sheepdoog is +2 Cards but lets you play it for free when you gain a card. Horse is a one shot lab

A list of Current animal cards to refresh everyone. Google them for reference!

• Horse. Black cat. Rats. Sheepdog. Monkey. Guarddog. magpie. Goat. Faithfull hound. Bat(?). Camel Train.

Good luck everyone! Entries will end at 17th August with 24 hours warning. My judgement post should be up by 18th or 19th august.

Edit: you may submit a Way.
Landscapes, projects etc may not be submitted

Introductions / Fika monster says hi!

« on: August 09, 2023, 03:54:14 am »

Hello everyone! ive been a dominion player for a long time, but my life has had some huge changes recently and thus a new introduction is in order.

My name is Fika Monster, im a 27 year old swedish guy. Im Autistic, ADHD, very nerdy. Im a anabashed furry now, and im pretty gay

My fursona is a 'hipster otter' which is an unspecefied otter species with plant and nerdy elements to it, in my case some seaweed and a rose. When im upset the rose smeels like burnt popcorn, and when im happy it smells like... something good idk, flowers? XD

Variants and Fan Cards / Low confidence and self esteem around making cards

« on: April 25, 2023, 03:42:04 am »

Update 10 may 2023:
Feeling a lot better now around dominion and making the cards i want: They arnt winning the contests, but that was never really my goal: The cards now feel like they are expressing ideas i want to explore, and whether i suceed or fail with the exploration is a different matter

Thanks for the support and thoughts. it helped.

-
So ive like to make Fan cards and submit them to the Weekly design competition in the past, but ive struggled with feeling that my cards art bad, and that people dont like them being submitted(which im 99% sure is false, as people at most simply dont like the design and just ignore it. but my mind isnt fully rational).

I have no problems with low scores and not winning, but its been a negative loop when i come up with an idea, but feel like it will be bad anyway, and thus dont put more effort into it, and its worse than it could be.

Does anyone have encouraging words or tips?

Variants and Fan Cards / Fika monsters Crappy Card Ideas

« on: June 10, 2021, 05:24:12 pm »

I tend to make a lot of, ahem, crappy cards before I decide upon one that I like and submit to WDC. To avoid cluttering the WDC threads, I'm making this instead, and posting some ideas here. This will be a pretty messy thread probably


Anyways....

WDC 117: In the Wrong place in the Wrong time.


An idea I had, but it never really got anywhere. not too exciting. should also be called Inflation i guess.
Rating: Bad

Variants and Fan Cards / Fan Card Mechanics Contest week 9: too COOL for school

« on: May 04, 2021, 03:47:49 am »

I were looking through Spineflus "atlas of fancard mechanics", and i came across Gazbags "ice token".

What is "ice Tokens"?
A number of cards in the set involve setting aside cards and putting a number of Ice tokens on them, referred to as "freezing" them. At the start of your turn you remove 1 Ice token from each card you own that is frozen with Ice tokens on it and when the last token is removed you put the card into your discard pile.

pretty neat, i think. So  this weeks challenge is to come up with a WELP or card that uses ICE TOKENS.

heres a link to the Dominion: ICE AGE expansion http://forum.dominionstrategy.com/index.php?topic=17996.msg736476#msg736476

My judging criteria will be:
Simplicity: the cards can be complex, but it should have a purpose. my preference is for simple cards, and i will be biased towards them, altough i will try to be fair.
theme (i like cards that tell a bit of a story)
Balance: is the card utterly broken or too weak? It's fine if the card is strong or centralizing, but agonizing decisions should be possible.
Innovation: Does the card evoke new interesting possibilities? is it exciting?


DEADLINE IS 2021 MAY 9th. timezone is UTC.

Weekly Design Contest / Weekly Design Contest #103: Design a Card that interacts with snow

« on: January 29, 2021, 07:14:15 am »

 Weekly Design Contest #103: Snow

Hello everyone! You all had some neat ideas for contests, but today i have a bit of hubris,  and it also happens to be snowing in sweden where i live! Henceforth this weeks contest...

Design a Card Or WELP that interacts with 'snow' (ie, this fanmade card)

TYPE: Action
Cost: 3$
+1 action
Return this to its pile.
(This is not in the Supply.)

There are a total of of 30 Snow cards in each game.

Snow is a temporary junk card, that goes away when you play it. You may design any sort of card, sideways card, or WELP that interacts with it. Or, if you want, your own mechanic with it.

My judging criteria for submissions:
1: Is this card Fun? (does it change the game in a fun way? Does it introduce interesting strategies? is it fun to play?)
2: Is this card understandable? (is there grammar or spelling errors? Does it condradict itself? Also, remember to have an english version if you post in another language!)

I hope you all have fun this week. The deadline for card submissions is February 5th, UTC 20/ 8 PM. ill try to have my judging up around February 6th.


Edit 1: fixed some formatting issues with snow as per silverspawns suggestions. i blame my jetlag!
