I really enjoy your non-magic related content. Very interesting and unique!

[@GiantMonsterGames]

Thanks dude. This is a project I’ve been wanting to do for years. I’m excited to finally start working on it!

[@YumegakaMurakumo]

This was fascinating to listen to. I've probably listened to it like 4 times already! 🤣
I have been dying to create a TCG forever, centered around a story I've been writing for FOREVER.
I still actually have my own prototypes from years back when I was a precocious 6th grade girl.
I love TCGs surrounded by monsters and magic, but you know what's funny? Not once have I played any card game! Maybe a little bit of poker, but that's about it.
Even back then, in 6th grade, I did not really know what I was doing. Never came up with game rules for it as it felt daunting. All I did was create the monster in my head, slap it on an index card, and add a bunch of random stats, and zeroes to its power and health, making the majority of them pretty much solo all of fiction. 🤣
If you look at my old cards, you'd be flummoxed how to even play it! I don't think you even could!😂
I want to get back into collecting Magic The Gathering cards. Just for the sake of collecting them. Pokémon too. I had some cards I loved, though they weren't very powerful like Chartooth Cat/Cougar and Forest Lynx. Unfortunately, these cards and many others, even a lot of the ones I created, are lost to time...😭
I want to thank you for this video, I found it very helpful! I will be borrowing some ideas from it for my TCG, but I will put other things in it so that it is still unique and original! 😁💜

Uh... Hello?! My name is James, that was mildly terrifying haha

[@hagger4858]

I enjoy the more simultaneous turns, i have been using that concept in many of my games, sometimes to massive success other times less so.

[@epickloothappyface8893]

Do you mind if i just... BORROW!!! like... All of the rules?

[@GiantMonsterGames]

Go for it!

[@jordanstevens3672]

Oooo this seems interesting

[@GiantMonsterGames]

I Hope so. I personally think is super interesting, have you joined the discord?

[@AutisticBoardGamer]

Step 1: explore HTCGs
Step 2: NEVER put resources that are needed to play cards in the deck

[@audiomiragemusic]

Almost clicked off then you said my name so I stayed and enjoyed -James

[@MansMan42069]

Ah damn, I'm not James.

[@admiralcasperr]

5:35 Wait. Why can Tower Watch cards be Marked of Kane?

[@AutisticBoardGamer]

oh the turns/rounds thing is part of Ashes Reborn, that isn't new

[@RarecuisineSaucegod-ig8bc]

not much is new under the sun . i dont remember the last mechanic or rule that wasnt done from some other game before. the turns/rounds thing seem more popular with Living Card Games, the only TCG ive played that used that was panini tcg.
