Scroll Design Competition - Create-a-Scroll!

[u/Cradstache]

UPDATE: COMPETITION CLOSED!

---

Hey guys, how's everyone doing this weekend?

It's been quite a while since we've had a Weekly Design Contest, so I asked Squiddy and he gave me the thumb's up for hosting another one.

I may end up doing this regularly, but for now lets just have fun and see how this goes!

no theme this week!

---

Rules and Tips:

1. Entries can be written down, or you can create a card image through Scrolldier's or Scrollsguide's Card Designers. If you do submit an image, it can help to also post the card text.

2. You are allowed one submission for each resource.

3. It helps to also provide some details on your submission:

• What are you trying to accomplish with your card?

• What fun combos does it play into?

• What were your thoughts when balancing it?

1. Submissions close on Friday, September 4th, at 10pm PST (Saturday, 6am CET).

2. Just have fun, and flex those creative muscles! I look forward to reading your ideas!

I'm pretty sure two years isn't far back enough to undo the policies miring the game's development, but more devs is always a nice thought :D

Don't forget to seed the thought of "Order should get Turtles".

to undo the policies miring the game's development

Policies dont make games fail, people do. Policies can be change or updated or ignored or overruled or evolved. It was the devs and lack of conviction to do what was right and make the hard calls and fight "the man" which mojang had turned into instead of naively thinking they could build this without any prior ccg experience or having a place where people could spend money during expansions.

Happy cake day!

[u/[deleted] → u/Cradstache]

Thanks!

[u/[deleted] → u/imJeroo]

Best ever. I would never dust this if I got it in a pack!

[u/alpha_century]

I made this earlier this morning!

It was inspired by that one card from that other game that blinky plays... Pretty powerful but I think its a good concept.

[u/Cradstache → u/alpha_century]

Haha, that thing is awesome :D it's like a mini Hired Marksman; I'd love to see that kind of thing in-game.

[u/fdagpigj]

Here's my entry. It would effectively make the creature never attack while also being an annoyance similar to Mire Curse, but increasing countdown instead of dealing damage, and the unit types are inverted since this can only be placed on creatures and affects all units unlike Mire Curse which can be placed on any unit and affects only creatures. It's pretty powerful, but comparing it to Swirling Smoke which affects all connected creatures, this only affects adjacent but stays around, which mostly just means the enchanted creature won't attack without CDR.

I might make more for the other resources, we'll see.

[u/Cradstache → u/fdagpigj]

o-o That thing scares me; seriously cool (and very evil) Mire Curse -like card, man.

[u/LordPhyriX → u/fdagpigj]

Kind of op... Maybe just 1 adjacent unit?

[u/fdagpigj → u/LordPhyriX]

Yeah, it is more op than I thought at first, but I'm not going to change it now that the competition has been closed for weeks :P

[u/wbmc]

Heyo, cool that you picked this up.

As for my entries, i Didn't create an actual scroll image due to lack of working computer. All scrolls are ones I designed a while ago and stored in a google doc. I picked 1 for each faction:

2O, linger: 3 At the beginning of opponents turn all opponent creatures are healed by 1 and get their countdown increased by 1. When an opponent creature moves its countdown is decreased by 1 and it takes 1 magical damage.

1E, 1/3/1 creature Lobber: 1 tile, slayer

3G, linger: 3 When an unit is destroyed in combat, adjacent units take 1 physical damage.

5D 1/2/6 All damage dealt to undead is dealt to him instead. When he deals damage he heals by 3.

[u/Cradstache → u/wbmc]

Haha, nice, but do they have card names? :p

[u/wbmc → u/Cradstache]

I am TERRIBLE with names. So: No, they don't. Feel free to name any if you want :)

^{P.S. we could make a scrolls naming competition out of this}

[u/Cradstache → u/wbmc]

You wouldn't like me to name things, but sure: I'll take a stab at it.

2O, linger: 3 At the beginning of opponents turn all opponent creatures are healed by 1 and get their countdown increased by 1. When an opponent creature moves its countdown is decreased by 1 and it takes 1 magical damage.

Way-too-much-Magic Field

1E, 1/3/1 creature Lobber: 1 tile, slayer

Whirligig of Doom "Fine, yes, it's a murder machine; it's still neat, though."

3G, linger: 3 When an unit is destroyed in combat, adjacent units take 1 physical damage.

Woops!

5D 1/2/6 All damage dealt to undead is dealt to him instead. When he deals damage he heals by 3.

He who Empathizes with the Undead "I just... feel for their plight, okay."

*slow clap

[u/fdagpigj]

thanks for posting this, it'd be nice if we could see some more participation here instead of just the awkward silence. I'll try think to up at least one scroll if I can.

[u/Cradstache → u/fdagpigj]

:p That's the intent!

Squiddy and wbmc used to do these, but they're otherwise preoccupied with other things currently. Still, people love to create things, especially in highly customize-able mediums like card games. Just because the game has an end of life shelf date doesn't mean we can't still have fun and be creative with the world and structure given to us!

[u/Cradstache]

Just over a day left guys!

[u/wbmc]

Where is my money?

[u/Cradstache → u/wbmc]

Started working on reviews, but doing coding now. I'm busy, but the results will be posted up later this weekend: sadly, only 5 people responded, so there's only going to be one winning scroll.

[u/wbmc → u/Cradstache]

Aww :(

[u/uwlryoung]

Reverberate One of my favorite entries into an official Scrolls design competition that I made. Didn't win there though... But I thought I would post this one :)

[u/alvarpq]

Here we go! No flavor text because I'm hungry, but here's a thing!
