The Hunt for Gollum - DC Set (DISCONTINUED)

[Cw0rk]

www.thehuntforgollum.com

I have recently discovered this short movie and since I saw it, I've been thinking:
"Wow! What a great occasion to make a new DC Set!"

Since this movie is based on events from the first movie, this set would be a 122 cards expansions that could be included in FOTR Block. So there are no threats, no site control, no toil, no initiative, companion resistance, etc. mechanics in there. There will be 40 rare cards, 40 uncommon cards, 40 common cards and 2 promotional cards.

Here is what the set would focus on:
- Adding the culture to FOTR Block.
- Search cards and Stealth cards.
- Making another companion available for FOTR Block players (Arithir).
- Making another companion available for FOTR Block players (the elf in the movie).
- A lot of Orcs.
- Some stuff.
- Trying to have at least 2 cards for each existant culture in the FOTR block even if they aren't very present in the movie (ex. and ).

I've also been thinking that we could use card pictures from the Hunt for Gollum movie to make these cards playable and test them on GCCG.

What do you guys think about that? I think that some of you could be involved as well in this DC set. However, I'd still like to lead the project.

Sounds cool--good luck!

Are we allowed to make visual cards? If so, I'm so excited about this. The thing I love about the cards are especially how they look (when I'm bored I like to take cool screencaps that could work on the tcg), and the fact that we cannot make visual cards is the only reason I don't look much into DC's.

[Thranduil]

Looks like a fantastic idea!

Here is a very quick example of what we could do...

•Arithir, Ranger of Arnor

Companion • Man
Strength: 6
Vitality: 3
Ranger.
While the fellowship is at a forest, Arithir is strength +1.

Arathir was such a lame character. I was largely unimpressed by the movies, outside of how they looked on their budget. What about this card:

Commitment to Celibacy
To play, make a fan film greater than 5 minutes that is not a parody.

Maybe it should be unique?
-wtk

Well ket, I know you didn't like their movie... but I don't see what is the problem about making a fan film that has been seen by more than 3.5 million people, even if it last more than 5 minutes. Anyway, I don't to start a debate here.

[Jerba]

No disrespect, but that picture reminded me of something else:


•Arithir, Caveman

Companion • Man
Strength: 6
Vitality: 3
Ranger.
Skirmish: Exert Arithir to switch to Geico.
SO EASY A CAVEMAN CAN DO IT.

[Cw0rk]

No disrespect, but that picture reminded me of something else:

•Arithir, Caveman

Yeah, I have to agree that he looks pretty lame with such a beard. However, when you think about it, it is realistic for a ranger to look like that.

I think that I'll focus on making the DCs before finding pictures. Hehehe.

[Faelach]

Jerba, that was truly killer.

Bravo  !

[Cw0rk]

Here is very approximative list of what I will try to do. I'm affraid it may unbalance the number of cards per culture. However, is already good enough in FOTR Block and I'll try to make at least 1 strong rare card for each other culture that doesn't get many new cards.

That look amazing! Though I would widen a bit the card image, so that you can actualy see what's happening in events especially. I think I'll take a look at the film again just to take some cool screencaps xD
No offense, but that pic of Arithir looks like an ID card image, not tcg.

I totally agree with you. I just paused the movie and printscreened the image on Paint. I'm sure that it would be possible to come up with better pictures. I have very little skills when it comes to image software so I guess that if one day we finally decide to add pictures to these DCs, I wouldn't be the most qualified person to do it.

Okay, I've watched the movie again, trying to find some potential cards for this set... The list was made very quickly. Here are some card titles I've found. I'll like to have your help for potential card names... So if you guys wanna watch the movie and have some inspiration, feel free to suggest some 'serious' card names (Commitment to Celibacy won't be in this set sorry ket ).


No card title yet, but when Aragorn search Gollum in some large Cavern, I'm pretty sure we could make at least a DC using this moment as a picture.

I think you need more cards relative to the story. Like, "We Have Your Creature," "Elven Lights," and the such.

What about, "Aragorn, Son of Arathorn?"
-wtk

Thanx. We Have Your Creature and Elven Lights are added to the list. This is a nice subtitle for Aragorn. I'm just curious, did they mention that he is the son of Arathorn at some point in the movie?

[Sam, Great Elf Warrior]

We'll ring it's filthy neckses!

Minor nitpicks: "wring its neck" is spelled with a "w" and there's already a site called Bree Streets.
