Antigen.

[menace64]

We've been playing lots of .hack//ENEMY in my group of friends, and one thing we've been complaining about is how poorly Decipher ended the game (sound familiar?). The fifth and last set, Breakout, offered nothing new to the game, didn't round out any existing strategy, and generally left a stale taste of death on the air.

I think it's about time my dream set, Antigen, saw the light of day. This set will be the rendering of how I figure the game should have been put to rest. It will complement strategies never fully-developed, while providing new concepts such as Corrupted monsters and Root Towns. Hopefully I'll be able to give each of the six PC classes new, powerful abilities that will leave them all more-or-less on the same page.

I'm not sure how many of you followed the game, but I'll just post my work here and any critiques will be very welcomed. First, the cardlist:

There you have it. A night's worth of research and work went into that set list; it's something I'm pretty proud of. I'll start actual card design in a bit and probably start posting tomorrow!

PS, why is the I'm-not-eight-years-old word for Heck bleeped? Seriously?

Have wondered this myself since TLHH began, its like the online equivalent of a nanny state.

You can take off the setting. If some people are offended it by it, they can leave the setting on. Doesn't bother me.

I'd be interested to see your cards m64, but unfortunately I have never once picked up a .hack/ENEMY card or in fact know the slightest thing about either the game or the franchise. But I can still comment!
