Title: design team Istari
Post by: Smeagollum on August 10, 2009, 05:55:07 AM
Hi there,

Here the topic about the designteam, it's main focus and goals.
Please put in your 2 cents before 20th of august. Then I'll resume it.

responsabilities:

Under auspicien of the rulesteam the designteam will design errata.

Design new cards using the old images and titles (just like they do with Star wars).

Think out new tactics and mechanisms (gamedesign)

In the furure if possible (we'll have to see if we can do this legal):

Design new cards with new images (for instance from lotr RPG online).

The Istari will be represented in the PC:    The White Wizard


The Istari will have contact with the playtestingteam to check if the ideas work. They will have contact with the rulesteam to check if everything they think of is according to the rules.

I wouldn't say pissed. More like impatient and easily annoyed.

this is not about errata's yet. The rt decides which cards needs errata and then they order the designteam to think up an errata.

This topic is pure for ideas about responsabileties and goals for the designteam.

I don't know what legal hoops we have to jump through, but I'd really like to see card sets taken from other films such as dragon heart, willow, or robin hood.

And what has that got to do with LOTR? :O

Probably a tangent with those other films lol
Does anyone even know how big the player base is right now? Outside of TLHH? Just like an approx.? Big/small/immeasurable? j/w

I know my group has dwindled down to like 3-4 people, sadly :(

It would be for fun.  Of course this is something that would take place until after the players are satisfied with lotrtcg erratas and clarifications.

I'm sorry to have the draw the line here, but remember: no graphical cards on this site due to copyright violation, Decipher, Tolkien estate, New Line, yadda yadda yadda. Anyway, I know you're thinking of adding LotR/Hobbit cards with images stolen borrowed from other films (say, Smaug with a dragon from Dragonheart) but that's not a good idea either. :P

As an unpublished author, I understand copyright laws.  That is why my origianl post was asking what lawful loops needed to be jumped through in order to create new cards.  Needless to restate, the idea was shot dead before take off.
PS respecting the hawk initiated.
