Johann's Studio
I'm a strategy nut.  The only video games I can stand to play for any length are ones that involve plenty of forethought... stuff like Final Fantasy Tactics and Neverwinter Nights.  More than playing games, though, I enjoy planning for them and creating them.  I'd rather design a character than play it, although I do enjoy playing one I've designed.  Thus, it makes the most sense that I should have found creating new Elements cards more fun than playing the game.

I also have extremely high standards when it comes to my own ideas, and though some of my early ideas were a little sloppy, I only post an idea I am 100% sure has the potential to be amazing.  Feel free to disagree, of course!  Herein you shall find the ideas I am most proud of; I have only neglected some of the early cards that got archived and aren't good enough to be displayed here.

My weakness is card art, but with the assistance of some excellent stock sites and a little practice, I've become at least passable at editing stock into decent card images.  That's added a whole new dimension to the fun!

NOTE: The gold and silver filigree borders around my Armory and Forge cards is a test of an update to this system we have been discussing.

Some very interesting cards here. I have to say, I particularly like Reprisal, with perhaps Cyclone as second favourite.

In fact, I would be pretty happy if quite a few of them got into the game itself, which is quite an achievement because I hardly ever think that of community-created cards, my own included. (The funny thing is that I wouldn't actually be too sure about Cyclone actually getting into the game, I just think it's amazing in all other ways).

The thing I have noted though is which cards are in the armory and crucible, while some are still stuck in the forge. While a lot of this is probably timing, it seems strange to me that Winter is right up there (and to a lesser Extent, Enchantress), while Reprisal, Cyclone and Earthchild aren't, despite the fact that they are all very original, have cool implications and applications, and are the closest things to game worthy that I have seen on this forum in a long time.

(Commission I think is the exception, I love that concept too. And Broken Mirror reminds me of neurotoxin, so thats definitely a good thing)

Earthchild got retired, but Cyclone and Reprisal are very new ideas, within the last month or so.  They haven't had time to get voted up; Summer is about to hit the Forge, though.

Thanks for the kind words!  If you like the weapon ideas, go check out the new series they are now a part of.
