Adventures in Sketchtopia Part 15: Cards in Action

Drawing out a card's effect?

During high school, I worked on a combination board/card game. I made clay figures that moved around the board and had attributes based on cards.

Nestled in my stack of drawings, I found something interesting. Not the cards themselves (found elsewhere). Rather, they were action scenes with the effects of the cards shown.

Page 1: Ascension arrow deals a set amount of damage from a variable difference. The more paid for the card, the higher the range.

Page 2: An overzealous mage casts 21 Engaging Fireballs at an unnamed monstrosity.

Page 3: One character, the Defender of Earth, fights against a Scuttling Errant that is casting a Decay Spell and a raging Demon Chimera. He's aided with a Height Advantage and Lycanthrope Morph. What's more, Gigafy Weapon has been cast on his gun and a Petrified Projectile has been summoned from the skies above.

Page 4: A cloaked necromancer casts Necro-Fireball upon a group of Goblin Spearman. A group of soldiers form a Shield-Wall Porcupine Formation to increase their collective attack and defense against a lone warrior in Dragon Armor. A strange elemental called a Hirosh summons Discharge while being protected with Invulnerability.

Page 5: Our Defender of Earth is back battling an Emaciated Reaver and Dire Mercenary. He's boosted by an Iron Will while he augments his gunfire with Blaze of Glory and Incapacitate. His foes are not standing by idly. The mercenary distorts the air in from of him with Mirishma and adds more arms and legs to the fight through Extension Mutation. The Reaver gets above the bullet storm with Wall Walking and attempts to hit with Extended Reach or Claw Knives.

Creative Tool: Idea Mutation

It's mutating out of control! Here is another wild method of improving the creativity of ideas through the process of introducing random 'mutations'. I call it Idea Mutation. Method: Start with an idea. Add it to a circle on the far left side of a piece of paper. That is round 1. Make two branches off the first idea. Each branch has a new circle. That is round 2. For each branch, roll a 10-sided dice and select the 'mutation' from the table below. For each branch, create a 'mutated' idea incorporating that branch's mutation. Continue branching and mutation ideas for subsequent rounds (3, 4, etc.). Modifications: Include different mutations (ex. Add Thrill, More Collaborative, Clearer, etc.) Add null mutation (no changes for certain branches) Change probability of mutations (same mutation for more than one number) Examples:

Creative Tool: Idea Bracket

Let the Best Idea Win. How to generate great ideas? Why not create an Idea Bracket ? It is analogous to a sports league play-off. Ideas are pitted against each other, with the winning idea moving on to the next round. The last idea standing is the winner. I do have a few additional rules. The Three M's : Modify, Merge, and Markup. These rules allow for both idea modification and saving sub-winner ideas. Simple enough, right? Let's try it out on some examples. Story Beginning Location Floating City and Haunted Graveyard merged into Floating Graveyard Screaming Wastelands modified into Blasted Wastelands Winner was Floating Graveyard and Sundered Titan merged into Floating Graveyard of Titans Artistic Inspiration Shack Brainstorming and Review Idea/Notes merged to Shack Review Ideas TCG View modified to TCG Mashup Shack Review Ideas marked for later Monster App and Walk and Song merged to Walk and Song with Monster App Priming Winner was T...

Writing Tool: Panic Cards

For writing emergencies only... In a previous post , I created a break-in-case of emergency box for days where I'm severely struggling to get my writing goal in. In case that box is not enough, or if I'm away from my house, I've devised another emergency method to keep me from veering off my writing track. Panic Cards. What are they? Simple. Index cards cut in half with encouraging phrases on one side. The other side has a small, randomized reward for completing the writing task. I made it random on purpose to increase the intrigue. To use them, I pull out the card, read the phrase of encouragement, and get the writing done. Once the thirty minutes of writing is completed, I turn over the card and reap the reward. Silly? Maybe. Effective? Time will tell. It's better to have an emergency plan and never use it than to not have one when an emergency comes calling.
