Ep3 Trading Card/Board Game "Project" Thing

[ZkDash]

Summers finally here again and that means tons of free time and socks. I thought it'd be fun to try to make a "real" version of PSO EP3 for me and my friends to play. This project will most likely fail along the way just like all the other ones as I'm both very lazy and very busy, but I'll try my best while I still have the motivation and energy.

Here's a sample of my work thus far:

*Edit: updated/fixed spacing+width of combo bars. Aligned stat numbers (properly this time).
Removed Bold font from some of the descriptions. +Etc. stuff.
Lemme know if you find any mistakes or have any suggestions.

It's been ages since I've last played this game. It'd be nice if someone could clarify some things for me:
1) how much EX does it take to lvl up (Dice + 1)?
2) Does the amount change as you rack up the bonuses (for Dice+1 vs Dice +4)?
3) How much EX do you get per kill (3 per kill iirc, but does this change (outside of certain card effects)? )?
4) :rappy:?

Still looking for answers if you have them. I've lost the game a long time ago so I can't check; though I plan to locate another copy within the next few weeks. Thanks.

VERY nice. I like how you based the design off the official cards (of which many I have and submitted pics to this site of).

[Lady Nadia]

12 xp in solo to obtain a dice bonus 24 xp in teams and no this never changes. 3xp per kill, 4 for kranz. kaladbolg gains an extra xp per kill, theres an ac card calls snatch that can alter things a bit and memoru comes stocked with the snatch trait. all i can think of off the top of my head besides cards with inherit trait.

This is exactly what I was looking for. Thanks a lot for putting in the effort to reply. :rappy:


http://i1191.photobucket.com/albums/z462/ZkDash/EP3Card-1.gif "Project" update: After a few different revisions and small edits, I've pretty much finalized the Templates I'll be using to create the cards. Progress should be a bit faster from now on (until further notice). I'm going to start with creating the Default H deck and see how things turn out form there.


*Edit> btw, http://www.pso-world.com/items.php?op=viewarticle&artid=1657&version=v4 lists handgun at 2 cost. I'm almost certain it's suppose to be 1 cost. Someone can change this if they care to?

*EditEdit> Finished.

[Lady Nadia]

hmmm yes thats definitely an error. handguns are 1 cost both online and offline. and i mades a lil booboo im sure u caught it tho but kaladbolg gains 2 bonus xp not 1.

Not a problem! I've always wanted a full PSO Ep3 deck in real life. Sadly I am missing quite a few of the actual ones that came out. I keep hoping I'd find some on ebay at some point. Not likely, though.

[akiraomega]

If it is possible could you send me your template? Im trying to do the same thing as you. I like playing with friends but on the GC they can see my hand so there is less stradegy.

[Lady Nadia]

lol he's made me jealous too... i so lack the talent to make stuff like that..hell il be honest i wuldn't even know where to begin. beautiful work tho keeps it up!

[ZkDash]

I'd rather not put up a template just yet. If you want, post up a list of all the cards you need for your deck and I'll prioritize getting those done first. Same goes for anyone interested, just put em up and I'll try to get them done fast.

[akiraomega]

I'm willing to invest in you if you seriously plan on finishing this. I really love this game and I think it's a shame sega never went like with a tabletop version.

[Lady Nadia]

o i missd 1! last but not least a 2 cost saber! lol

[AlexCraig]

What would make this even cooler would be little 1" (or more depending on the character/monster) figures to be used on the battle mat.

Id be okay with a pog lol

[AlexCraig]

Psh, pogs. Real geeks play with figures! XD

[akiraomega]

mmm lol. Maybe we can make like a 1/300 scale. Im sure sega would allow it. I doubt they would care.

[akiraomega]

but thats a lot of monsters. maybe just the SC

[Jade DaBain]

Wow! Those look great, but shouldnt the edges of some of the boxes be curved to make them like the real life cards that are seen on this link?

[Seth Astra]

Never gave this much more than a passing glance, but having gotten Ep. III recently, I must commend you on doing a good job.

http://www.pso-world.com/gallery/showgallery.php?cat=533

Heh, I see some of mine in there.
As for curvature, I'm sure if the OP were to make them and print them off and all, they'd be given a curved edge or at least be cut so they they would.

[Jade DaBain]

Do you think it can be possible if you can rescan the back of a card in PNG format so that if someone wants to print the cards on card stock or some thick paper, they can also print a clean looking back that doesnt look all dotty and fuzzy?

[ZkDash]

small update: I'm still working on the project, albeit very very slowly. [My friend recently picked up PSPo2, and my copy of infinity arrived a few days ago. :wacko: so yeah....]

@ curved edges: kinda optional, but i can try to round all the edges if necessary. Cutting them works too. :rappy:

My plan was just to print the cards on card stock and 2x-slot them in card sleeves on top of my old Yu-Gi-Oh! cards for thickness. Works well with the demo deck I've printed.

@ Card Back: If you can't get a higher quality scan of the card back, try this:
someone recreated their own version of it and it looks like: [SPOILER-BOX]http://i1191.photobucket.com/albums/z462/ZkDash/ep3-card1.jpg[/SPOILER-BOX]
and can be gotten from: http://www.ix.sakura.ne.jp/~utopia2/pso/cg-sozai/cg-sozai-frame.html
It's not a 100% match but it's bloody fantastic.

That back card image works for me. In fact, I think it would be perfect. Now, to wait until all cards are made. Then, Ill be on a printing spree.

[AlexCraig]

Excellent! Looks just like the ones from the game and the ones I have!

[Jade DaBain]

Im curious how the project is going. Any new info?

[CPS]

I officially cancelled my project, if you need a hand with anything or have any questions about some of the problems I ran into feel free to contact me. Your cards look amazing! I wish you the best of luck with finishing the project :D
