LNH: Looniverse Fight Chronicles Trading Card Game #10: Clash of Ideals

[Drew Nilium]

Clash of Ideals
Setup 0
<Interpersonal> <Conflict>

Choose another player. Each of you chooses a Hero you control. Each of you
chooses a Voice of Wit, Determination, or Groundedness.

Each Hero A brings the chosen Voice to the other Hero B:
If A brings Wit, B shows Edge.
If A brings Determination, B shows Chill.
If A brings Groundedness, B shows Whimsy.
A delivers Beats to B equal to the Voice brought minus the Voice shown.

After, if the difference been the Beats on A and on B is less than 2, remove all
Beats from A and B and Resolve this Conflict. Otherwise, put this Conflict
Backstage and play it again at the beginning of next turn.

Drama 2, Progression 1

It seems to me, you have a good handle on the mechanics for this game.

Honestly, I'm still trying to figure out Omniverse the Card Game. It
probably needs simpler combat rules. When I try to resolve combat, I
tend to ignore everything between "Loser has to flee" and "Loser is
obliterated".

Thanks! n.n Honestly, I'm still figuring them out, but I have a good idea of
what I want to do, and the tricky part is just figuring out how to render that
as a workable game mechanic. There's one that I made a breakthru on yesterday
that's probably not going to be published for another month, lol.

To be fair, I find it's usually better to start with the complex version and
then trim it down. :>

That's fair. X> Part of what I'm doing is giving y'all the pieces and letting
you figure out how it works, but to be clear, this is a game about telling a
story - specifically, an LNH story. And this card is the point in the story
where two people who are on the same side get in an argument over an important
issue, and learn to understand each other more.
