Like I started to talk about in the member’s lounge, I made myself a pretty little card game called Deadrock TCG during my short time at basic training. It’s got absolutely nothing to do with LotR, but since it’s all one big dream card set, I was hoping y’all wouldn’t mind putting up with my shenanigans.
So if you’re all game, I’ll start hammering stuff here instead of clogging up the lounge (and, if I post here, you all can improve your post counts by reviewing!). |

Ill review it anywhere mate, though it makes the most sense to put it in the Dream Card section even if its isnt LOTR. A mod can always move it if it matters that much.
Let the spoilers begin!! |

All right all right!
I suggest you read my prologue in the member’s lounge first. I still haven’t got the rules all filled out yet, but here are the basics:
You have 2 ways to win. First, to win 5 rounds. Each round is made up of each player taking a turn, with special phases separating each turn. Second, to deck the opponent (which might end up happening more often than winning by rounds).
I’ve taken a special twist on the old mana system from Magic. In Magic, you have your basic Land. Tap Land -> Get Mana. In Deadrock TCG, you play a Production card, and each production card has a unique way of generating your curbite. Also, there is no tapping.
Other card types include Personnel, Events and Epic Events, Techs, and Locations.
Before you start playing, you put your Key Location into play (there are 4 in the base set of 260 cards). You can have other Key Locations in your deck if you want. After that, you play 2 locations related to your key location.
Round Sequence:
I haven’t quite determined who goes first each round. Most likely that will fall to advantage (a number found on all personnel). For now, whichever player has more advantage in play begins each round.
The round begins with the first player’s turn, which is layed out as such:
Ready Phase
At the start of your ready phase, replenish your hand to 8 cards. This is just like LotR reconciling, except it’s at the start of the turn. Then you can perform any ready phase actions.
Production Phase
This is where you generate most of your curbite (which you use to put cards into play). There are lots of production phase actions (especially on production cards... go figure).
Main Phase
Guess what you do here. Yup. Play stuff.
Transit Phase
Here’s where you get to move things around. Once again, details aren’t quite fully realized, but it’ll be fairly simple.
Standoff Phase
Perform any standoff phase actions. This is the last phase of your turn, but it’s right when action starts for the round.
All right. So your turn is over. Next is when your opponent gets to "interact" with you and your dudes.
Ambush Phase
This is the cream-and-butter of my game. Any card in your hand with the ambush keyword can be played during your main phase or during any ambush phase. This provides a nice surprise for unwary opponents. And a lot of ambush abilities are absolutely killer.
Combat Phase
And then all hell breaks loose, and you start killing each other off like june bugs. During combat at a location, individual characters spar against each other in engagements (skirmishes), and you (like every other game) compare power to see who wins. Loser takes a wound (or straight dies). You win the combat if your characters have a higher total power at the end of the combat.
After that, the next player begins his or her turn, then the ambush and combat phases repeat. Then the round ends with the End Phase. Here you perform end phase actions. After everybody passes, you see who wins the round. If someone’s got 5 rounds won, the game ends.
All right. Here’s the four fixed cards in my set.
(Human Personnel) ∙Lucian Wright, Choir Leader (Curbite 3)
“Lucian” ∙ Leader ∙ Pilot ∙ Warrior
Advantage-4 Power-2 Speed-2 Vitality-2
Each allied pilot here is advantage +1 and speed +1.
End- Once per round, heal a pilot here.
1F30
(Human Personnel) ∙Vormun Telletry, The Lord’s Servant (Curbite 2)
“Vormun” ∙ Leader ∙ Politician
Advantage-5 Power-1 Speed-1 Vitality-2
Twice per round, if an allied personnel would be wounded, you may discard the top card of your deck. If the curbite cost of the discarded card is less than Vormun’s advantage, prevent the wound.
1F50
(Xenthu Personnel) ∙Selh’tur, Unquenchable Warmind (Curbite 5)
“Selh’tur” ∙ Leader ∙ Warrior
Advantage-4 Power-4 Speed-3 Vitality-3
Ambush.
Each time combat begins, you may use 1 curbite to look at the top 3 cards of your deck and take 1 of those cards into your hand.
1F80
(Xenthu Personnel) ∙Verid’aan, Selh’tur’s Second (Curbite 3)
“Verid’aan” ∙ Leader ∙ Warrior
Advantage-2 Power-3 Speed-3 Vitality-2
At the end of your standoff phase, if Selh’tur is at a contested location, you may use 3 curbite to move Verid’aan to that location.
1F91
I think I’ll post some productions next time. |

Ok before i review i need clarity. What does advantage and speed do and mean?
Why do characters have phrases like each pilot here? Why would a pilot be on a personnel?
How do you win a round? Once all ur phases and the turn is up, what determines who won it?
Thanks
P.s. Might be worth changing the name of this topic to DeadRock so i dont lose track of it etc... |
