Looking at my sheet of paper, it looks like I'm the only contestant who has yet to vote!

So, let's go for:

1) 3
2) 7
3) 5

And this leaves us with a very close round. So I said the deadline was Friday, so I'd prefer to wait until then just in case another person puts a vote that might break the ties.

I believe you are mistaken.

Right then, let's get down to business!

The winners from the last round are:

1) MR. Lurtzy (#4)
2) lem0nhead (#1)
3) Braler/Anvar/Sweet_Stuff (#3/#5/#8)

So

to all of those excellent souls, and then on with the next round! $\:D/$

One of the most disappointing subcultures of all time. No it's not

Men which we dealt with a while back, it's of course

Wraiths!

So, your task for this round is to make a virtual version of 1 of those Wraiths. As a reminder of the rules, your card should:

1) Have the same title (with a (V) attached to the end)
2) Have the same twilight cost and culture
3) Have whatever attributes or attribute modifiers you think appropriate
4) Have a different text, maybe similar, but could also be on completely different lines. Card type is particularly open for this round - I could easily see these titles on conditions or followers or even events. Of course, they could also be minions if you wanted.
5) Have a lore which you want, it's really up to you - you can keep the same lore or put in your own, it doesn't really matter.

So your card should look a bit like this:

Title (V)

Type • Sub-type
Str: +A
Vit: +B
Res/Sit: +C
Text
Lore
6 V XXX

Deadline is going to be Monday 13th April, so get your entries in before then.

Good luck!

I have hardly any entries and I understand this could be because this is a hard round. So I would just like to add what I think might be angles to take. The first thing I would note is that I don't think you should be dealing only with

Wraiths because there are only 3 of them and 3 minions make for a very uninspiring sub-culture! I think that there are probably 3 main avenues for design on these guys:

- I would try to make them work with The Wraith Collection or

minions in general. In this case, I might suggest thinking about them as

cards more than

cards and do stuff that the

culture does (like twilight and all its trappings (wearing the One Ring, for example), enduring with skirmish healing abilities, corruption, wounds on the Ring-bearer, controlling assignment etc.).

- Another angle would be to deal with "Wraithly themes" rather than any particular culture. Instead of thinking of the cards as

or

cards, think of them as part of the "wraith tribe". Think about resistance, enduring, burdens, being unkillable, threats and other things which feel suitably wraithly.

- Another thought might be to think about the Last Alliance where these Wraiths come from and deal with the

culture and

themes. After all, many of them are fallen soldiers of Sauron. Maybe you could be taking inspiration from classic

stuff like Sauron grind (direct wounding from Fellowship block), Enduring Evil, DDotR, Sauron mill (discarding the FP player's draw deck) etc.

I hope these brief thoughts of mine encourage you to send me lots of juicy entries!

Have you considered that people might be away and/or otherwise busy with easter holidays and such like? Perhaps you need a week extension - I could certainly do with it.

Yeah, I can't submit today, as I am busy with easter and such.

Thranduil · « **Reply #191 on:** April 13, 2009, 03:42:28 AM »

That's no problem, I had not considered Easter and such. Let's extend the deadline another week, then, as you suggest. New deadline will be Monday 20th.

Thanks, i havent been on since last thursday cos of easter!

This seems a really quiet time. I've got only 5 entries. Luckily, there's 7 hours left, and I'm sure I can make allowances if people tell me they're submitting. So I'm going to do something I haven't done in a while (probably a mistake!) and PM the #$&*@! out of all those latent contestants! That's what you get for not sending me your entries in good time!
