[CleanOnion]

Submissions for Round 1 are now closed. Brawlers, start work on Round 2! Non-Brawlers and Voter's Panel, get voting!

Time until Round 2 ends: Time's up! Time until you may no longer propose Challenges for the current round: Challenge's up!

Journey The journey to Aurdinas is long and hard, and rife with dangers. Spirits were high when you set out, and as you left your country you were cheered on from all sides. However, the no-man's-land between your border and Aurdinas is not to be trifled with. Danger lurks in every shadow, whether that be bandits or some poisonous plant, and the morale of the troops are slowly decreasing. But you cannot possibly give up before you have even reached Aurdinas. You need to keep fighting, keep moving, and soon you will reach the land of gold! Read Brawl Rules All submissions must be made by making a new topic in your team's private board with the title: [ROUND X] ROLE(S) For example '[ROUND 1] Enchanter'

Admiring the View | BASIC TASKDepict your team travelling across your country's unique landscape! Shapeshifter | BASIC TASKA Boggart is lying in wait for you. Boggarts are mysterious creatures - as soon as you look at one, it takes on the form of your worst fear. What does this Boggart look like? Goblin Attack | BASIC TASKYou encounter a horde of greedy-looking goblins on the road, hoping to steal your stuff! The goblins want three things: they want something valuable, they want to eat, and they want to kill everything that's not made of goblin flesh. Make a deck to kill, scare off, pacify or otherwise get rid of these goblins, taking into account at least one of these needs! New Critters | COMBO TASKOn your journey you meet some strange creatures you have never seen before! Enchanter: Create 2 or 3 cards to represent each creature that you met! Scribe: Write what happened when your team met the creatures! (Totally should have called this task Fantastic Beasts) Low Morale Is A More Persistent Issue Than Expected | BASIC TASKLots of walking makes people sad. Create an easy game for your troops to play amongst themselves while walking, to keep themselves entertained!

Looking forward to see what are the things other bards are afraid of.

[OldTrees]

Batches of 2-3 cards. You can reach further in development when you also get to make your own groundwork.

[ARTHANASIOS]

Define "while walking" for Wizard task please...

[Fippe94]

They don't have to be able to play the game while literally walking, it's totally fine to play the game when you have set up camp and are all sitting down too!

Thanks for the clarification, that was really useful and important, thanks again!

Brawl Round 2 Expectations
Royalty/Admiring the View – I want to see the landscape be distinct in some way, so a landscape that shows something unique to your team will probably earn some of my voints.
Bard/Shapeshifter – There’s a lot of different ways to approach this task, and I think any of several approaches can work – humor, surprise, showing some combination of different media, whatever you think will do well here!
Crusader/Goblin Attack – I want to see explanations for how well each card fits your theme, and I want a deck that seems viable for at least AI3 level of play.  Screenshots of victories not required but certainly appreciated, but good thematic coherence is more important than power level.  Originality may be rewarded.
Enchanter/Scribe/New Critters – I want to see a reasonably-balanced cards with good explanations for your design decisions.  What does each aspect of your card represent?  I want to see a well written story that ties the cards’ mechanics into flavor.
Wizard/Low Morale – Design a game that would actually provide some interesting decision making in some way.  This prompt is pretty wide open, but games that are too heavily games of pure-luck or pure-skill (i.e. no thinking, just execution) will not be favored by me. Attempting to predict others’ actions counts as strategy to me, and does not fall under pure luck.

Who wants to hear my weirdly specific voting preferences?

Royalty: Show me your landscape. Points for originality and quality of work.
Bard: I want deep. If you can scare me, you win.
Crusader: This prompt is specific, but open. Do something unexpected. I don't care if AI0 beats it every time.
Enchanter+Scribe: Give me some interesting creatures. Give me an interesting story. Simple.
Wizard: Realism is amplus. Is it feasible for your soldiers carry dice, cards? If I can play the game right after I read it in real life, that's a bonus.

Bonus: I want a nice, full logo that stands out. See Brawl 4's used icon. Check the difference between Brawl 5's winning icon and used icon to see the kind of change I'd encourage.
