[Cards] Muffin: The Gathering
Posted: Sat Jun 12, 2010 5:06 pmRighto~. ^^ for my own personal amusement, I've spent the last ten months or so slowly making an MSF (mostly Muffin Room) based set of Magic cards. If you're a fellow player, or just interested in seeing what I came up with, they are available to peruse here.
I've shared this, or at least a bit of it with a number of you already, but for those that I haven't, if you look through here and find a reference to a character of yours or something that you do not like, please feel free to contact me and I will get it out of the set as soon as I can.
On the flipside however, I should note that this is probably not a comprehensive, or even an entirely modern look at the Muffinverse or MSF. That is to say, that the characters and whatnot featured herein a, by and large, my own, or ones that I am fairly familiar with, to the point where I had ideas for cards of them. if you're not featured in here, please don't take offense to it--it just means that I couldn't think of anything for a card, is all.
That said...I'm something of a magic nerd, so I spent a lot of time trying to make it so that the power levels, balance, and the color pie composition would be as close in line to that of actual magic cards as I could get it. ^^ I'd like to give special thanks to Kaizer, Nosnits, Knight Errant, Mendo, and Dracos for the time that they spent helping me to check for typos, and for power balance in the set. ^^
If other people are interested in actually playing with these cards, there is actually a method to do it over the internet. I can post a FAQ on how to do that or something should this be the case.
Also, as a matter of course, I should note that I own neither the art on these cards, nor the card or game design: The art was taken mostly from Safebooru and google image searches, and the game is from Wizard's of the Coast. Along with that, most of the card format and whatnot is also from WotC designs (made usable by me via Magic Set Editor 2), and the remaining bits of actual card design, (most notably the 'Violet' cards) were made by the custom magic card tinkerers behind that same program.
The actual ideas behind the cards of course, are largely inspired by the Muffin Room, and to a lesser extent IRC and MSF in general, and one card in particular--'Princessify'--was actually made from suggestion from Ameph est Tako.
Lastly, given this resurgence of people interested in the Eternal business and whatnot lately, I should also not e that there are a few cards involving ovalisks in the set. These are based off of Muffin Room-related business, and may be pretty far removed from whatever it is that they mean in relation to the whole eternal scheme of things or whatever, so just fair warning if they are not what you lot have come to expect of ovalisks or whatever. ^^ I'm not looking particularly to offend..
