ISP's Birthday SWCCG Card Creation

Competition ID #: 7811
Status: Finished
Submitted by: HA Plif
Competition dates: 2024-07-10 - 2024-07-24
Subgroup: TIE Corps
Units involved: TIE Corps
Description:

One of the Imperial Sovereign Protector's favorite games is the Star Ward Collectible Card Game from Decipher. There's something about the design and mechanics of the card that he really enjoys. For his birthday, let's create some new cards!

Each participant may send up to three cards to HA Plif via email at tccom@emperorshammer.org. Putting "SWCCG" at the beginning of the Subject would be helpful and please remember to sign your email with your ID line.

There's no working SWCCG card generator that we're aware of, unfortunately. To keep things simple, we're not expecting participants to generate the cards themselves though fully-rendered cards may be submitted. Participants just need to send in enough information that would allow someone else to generate a card and the plan is to have that done for the ISP to judge.

Fan-made SWCCG cards have existed for a long time, some created by EH members. Please submit something new for this competition, not anything you've had on your hard drive for years. Honor system!

The list of needed details varies by card type, but generally consist of the following:

  • Side: Dark or Light
  • Destiny Number
  • Type: Character, Starship, Vehicle, Creature, Weapon, etc.
    • If applicable: Power, Defense Value, Hyperspeed, Parsec Number, Deploy, Forfeit, etc.
    • Also skill icons like Pilot, Warrior, Scomp Link, Nav Computer, etc.
  • Title: Also consider level of uniqueness
  • Lore text: Also consider tags like leader and smuggler
  • Picture: Some idea of what you want the picture to be
  • Game text: Keep in mind that being balanced is more compelling than something that's obviously OP

Anyone interested in generating their own card images might find these resources useful:
