To send us your design:
Method 1:

Method 2:
Send a PM with your card designs to my account (Chah) on the Wot Community Forums or on the Star City Games Forums.
Scoring:
Cards will be scored by multiple judges, based on the following points:
Fun (10 pts.): Is the card fun to play? It doesn't need to satisfy everyone at once, if it appeals strongly to at least one category of player.
Aesthetics (10 pts.): Do the effects on the card feel like an organic whole? Do the numbers on the card feel right? Is it flavorful and resonant? Do the effects tell a story?
Mechanics (10 pts.): The rules text of the card. Does the card work? Do they fit the color pie and rarity? Does each line of text on the card carry its own weight? Being extremely innovative, or being extremely clean and simple, will lead to high a score here.
Bonus Points (5 pts.): This is a category so that judges can dish out points for overall appeal, as well as reward card designs with some special uncategorized strengths.
The contestant with the highest total wins!

My submission's sent! I'm probably going to be second-guessing myself and wishing I had taken more time but I'm happy with what I put out.
ReplyDeleteShould card be Card form (MSE) or in text form?
ReplyDeleteOnly text is necessary. But make a render if you think it'll better help convey your design.
ReplyDeleteCool idea. These is great. Your blog is awesome. Glad I found it. Thanks for sharing.
