I'm building a gambling/CCG card game (http://www.bgdf.com/modules.php?name=Forums&file=viewtopic&t=2399) and I'm looking for a theme or a plot for the game. Earlier in the week, I posted the game idea and since then I've finished alot of the mechanics in the game and now I need a theme. (visit the link above the for basic idea of the game)
Some people have already commented on building it around an Intergalictic Casino. I like that idea but want to explore more.
I had an idea of basing the game on the theme of Light (like the kind we get from the Sun! Not light beer or anything to do with Calorie watching...). I was thinking of having four different colours (which represent different categories of cards ...) and each colour would have their own special abilities. In the game, there is one resource that must be managed to help you win - that resource is Energy. I've designed it so most cards produce energy, and hence it makes sense that everything is made of Light since light is energy! cool, or not cool?
I'm not a theme or flavour person so any ideas woud be greatly appreciated and I'd love (make that LOVE) to hear them!
Thank you,
Rob
Hedge-o-matic, what do you do for a living? You tend to have an insight into science related topics, and approach ideas from that direction. I mean that all of us learned about amplitude and frequency in highschool, but I doubt that many of us would ever had the idea to use it as suits for a deck of cards.
Well, your avatar tells everything :)
Good thing to have around someone like you.
