my thesis must have killed my mind

[lucathia]

Because I am seriously considering starting a multi-fandom character TCG now that both anime_lj_tcg and brotcg have closed and I'm feeling the hole they left. Divinity is still on hiatus too. I love twistserve_tcg (and I'll continue running it as long as I can) but I like collecting other characters too. :'D

I would not be as involved with this as I am with Twist Serve because there's no way I can put in as much effort into both. But...if someone out there would like to co-run something like this, give me a shout? Or have members who used to be part of anime_lj_tcg started something already? I would totally be fine as just a member. Less effort. XD I'll offer webspace to host cards because having cards spread over several photobucket accounts is no fun!

one possible template:


variations:


I need to convince myself not to do this. XD I should concentrate on my other interests. Most likely nothing will come out of this after I think about it some more.


Oh, and my Ema Skye pins came last week. :D I did my own designs and sent them somewhere to have them made. I don't know what the color the smaller ones should be since the pic of Ema's bag from AAI is so small, but they looked lavender-ish to me. (Too bad the borders turned out so thin) I have her vest, tie, and watch left, and then I'm done with her outfit. Should be done in time for Fanime.

I dont know how much help i can be considering i've been trying to make a ygo based tcg =/ but my friend suddenly disappeared ;o;''

but, if you need help getting images or make cards [with a provided template] I can help D: I wanted to join animetcg but they closed b4 answering my joining comment =/ which sucks D:

[lucathia]

I'm thinking I would only run updates (like, monthly ones) and manage who's doing what. I'm not even thinking about running games or answering join forms or anything like that. I'd probably find a group of people who want to be card makers too. If more people express interest, maybe this will turn into something. I'll keep you updated. :D

Hm, so you wanted to start a YGO one? That could have turned out pretty cool. I don't know anything about YGO, but it seems to be a series that would translate well into a TCG.

[orechibisama.livejournal.com]

I did D: I have one deck made =/ and....that's it *sigh* but my friend is so absorbed into RO I don't see her on...It's making me a bit mad b/c we're supposed to be doing this together, but she's never on =o=' so I'm about ready to trash the idea. It's too much stress for me until I can go to the doctor about my anxiety.

I hope more people will :3 I'll try to help out as much as I can. Since school is officially over for me. Games, answering forms XD LOL; I've always wanted to help =u='

[lucathia]

I totally should be writing my thesis right now. -__-;; Instead I made a random card to test out a template.


How does that look? I made it up just now, haha. Might not be very original.

[orechibisama.livejournal.com]

Well considering you totally made a card with a Meganeko =u=b I like it. *shot*

That looks so cool!! DDD: I wish I could make cards. Mine are all...flops =n=p

o/ Good luck on your thesis. D; Those really suck. <sub?I'm wondering if I should take english102 instead of chem =o=''?

[lucathia]

Haha, I'm asking about the card template! XD;

Oh well, I better think to myself that I can only tinker around with stuff like this after I'm done. Editing is a pain.

What's English 102 and what do you have in store for chem? Intro chem?

[orechibisama.livejournal.com]

Second level of mandatory English I have to take at my uni. =o=' I am so behind b/c of stupid things beyond my control.

Trying to get Chem out of the way. for my major. I know I can do it but the stress...ugh! It hates me... orz;; But, it's the beginning of the 200 chem =/ I also have a Chem lab. *A*;;'

XD I do like the template D: It looks cool. Really cool D:

[lucathia]

Something about the bottom is bothering me, but ah well. Not like I'm starting something right this moment.

Are both courses ones you'll have to take eventually? :O

[orechibisama.livejournal.com]

really? D: I think it looks fine D:

yeah since im majoring in chem to go into medschool lol. so i actually have to take more english.XD;;; since there is a higher chance of me being selected if i've taken two years of english compared to the 2 semesters that are mandatory XD;;

[lucathia]

Thanks. :3

Sounds like you need both...

[disutansu.livejournal.com]

You'll soon have a bit more time once you're done if you want to take up something new. ^o^ More time is what we all need.

The little pins look so cute! It'd be cool to have emoticon pins. XD

[lucathia]

I seriously can't wait until I'm done! I've been staring at my paper all day already. I have been getting distracted though. >_>

I think emoticons would be cute indeed! I've always wanted to have a pin badge machine maker, but they're fairly expensive. I wonder if I'll ever have an excuse to get one. XD; I could make myself fishbone ones! :D

[darkicedragon]

XD Those pins are so cool.

[lucathia]

Best expression ever, no? :O

[himilika.livejournal.com]

*hugs* Some more time and you'll be free :). Don't five up till then!

And those pins are so cute, I especially like the first one from the left.

TCG based on various anime? Sounds interesting, especially that all other TCG I've been a part of were closed. Starting from next month, I'll have more time (holidays~!), so I could help you, if you would like :).

[lucathia]

I just have to keep telling myself this! And write until the end! I've been writing all day already though. -__-;

They are, aren't they? They're modeled after Ema's pins if you know Ema from Ace Attorney. XD I'm using them for cosplay~

It would be very straight forward. All character decks. No puzzle decks, no series decks, no episode decks. I don't know about special decks. I've missed having character-centric TCGs! Since I like having borders colored to fit the character, I might have goal sheets like..."collect 7 decks with one for each color of the rainbow". :3 And such. People can suggest their own goal sheets or whatever as long as they haven't mastered the decks they're using to qualify.

Hm, I dug around a bit on the members of anime_lj_tcg who said they were going to start one. It looks like one is in the works, so this would probably overlap with their plans. I'll put this on the backburner then and see what they do first. I get the feeling that I'm attracting members away from twistserve_tcg? XD

[himilika.livejournal.com]

Heh, I've noticed mistakes that I made in the previous comment ^^". I shouldn't write so early in the morning xD.

You should take a short break from writing, then you'll have more energy (or at least I hope so, because it's never worked for me so far). I'll keep my fingers crossed for you :D.

Unfortunately, I don't know this character nor this series. I'll have to look into this in the future.

Your idea sounds really good and it would be great to have only character decks, especially if they will be from various series. It would be easier to collect them and you would have less work to do. I'm looking forward to see this TCG. And you are not attracting members away from twistserve_tcg, because for me, thanks to your TCG I've started to love them :).

[lucathia]

My break is stopping and answering comments. This keeps me sane. XD;

Ace Attorney is a video game series on the DS if you're ever inclined to check it out. It's about lawyers and investigation. Lots of quirky dialogue and very memorable characters. ;)

Hm, now I'm seriously thinking about it. After I finish my thesis, I might give it a try! Because projects and deadlines and reports always makes my creative side come out instead. XD;

[tokki-chan.livejournal.com]

Hahaha, those pins are so awesome. When i see the attorney pins in the community, I'm always tempted to get one, haha.

[lucathia]

Ema's pins have the best expressions!

An attorney pin would be very awesome too. :D

[andrealsyu.livejournal.com]

omg. those pins look awesome. i want one. XD You're doing a emma cosplay? Sounds awesome!

Pictures of costume when you're done?

[lucathia]

If you ever want one, you could order one! The site kept my designs, so if I ever want to reorder the buttons (or if anyone wants to order the buttons with the same designs), they could just go there and order them. So convenient! And fairly cheap. Small ones were 50 cents and the largest one that I ordered at 2 1/4 inch was 75 cents. Shipping in the US was only $2.25. :)

I'll take pics when I'm done! :D

[lucathia]

Fanime is just around the corner! Wow. This is crunch time for me, but I look forward to relaxing (as best as I can at a convention!) and having fun at Fanime.
