The card templates are here, but that page is SUPER SECRET so if anybody asks you didn't hear about it from me!

Well, hopefully this will prove useful to someone.

It's got all the cards I managed to archive since the last board crash. I had the ones before that, but they got erased when my hard drive crashed a while back. Marvel at this piece of historic gamingforceana!

You wouldn't be willing to post templates, would you?

Just a suggestion. :)

PS: PLEASE DO!

Link to templates (&etc) added to thread opener.

Canceling Reservations

Yeah so uhhhh REMEMBER THIS THREAD GUYS IT WAS CLASSIC RIGHT

But anyway I have kind of obviously stopped making cards for GFF members mostly because um I recognize about twelve of you nowadays

BUT I DID FIND AN EVEN NERDLIER THING TO DO

Those of who have been playing Magic for a while may be aware of WoTC's Reserve List. This is essentially a list of cards which they promise to never ever ever reprint, basically as a way to pander to collector whores. This means that a lot of fun older cards (and, ok, some shitty ones) will never see the new frames or be issued decent art (you heard me, Drew Tucker).

As such, I have taken it on myself to "update" these old-ass cards to modern templating standards and (where appropriate) issue them new artwork (where the original artwork is absurdly shitty or else unavailable in a decent quality for reprinting. Cards with shitty or no flavor text also profit, when possible.

These cards are provided in stupid-high quality for use as image substitutes in a CCG engine like OCTGN, or you know, absolutely anything EXCEPT printing them out because that would be WRONG. For true dorks images twice this size are available on request. Oh also I totally didn't ask permission to use any of this art so PLEASE DON'T NARC ON ME SNITCHES GET STITCHES :mad:

The end goal is to update the complete Reserve List (571 cards); so far I'm about halfway there. However, if any other older card is desired for a facelift feel free to ask; I'm not collecting all this lame-ass sword/sorcery art for my health. After that, (in the far-flung future) I'll probably do Time Spiral's "timeshifted" cards up right the way they should have been done in the first place. HEY GUYS REMEMBER HOW THESE FRAMES WERE DUBBED INFERIOR AND WERE THROWN OUT? NOW THEY'RE BACK! IN TOURNAMENT-LEGAL FORM!

EXAMPLES HEY

Goddammit.

Seriously, I had the idea, last night, that someone had ought to revive this project. I made little notes and jotted down ideas at work today and everything. I still have the templates and program. I was all excited.

Seeing as how you'd been mostly inactive and seemingly disinterested lately, Pang, I was gonna be all bold and keep hope alive. But I guess the mission statement has changed. Or something.

In the interest of making fun of stupid people and rewarding the few who swim against the tide by being quality posters, would you have any objection to me going ahead and creating cards that reflect the current roster?

Also, I would be elated if you had an updated Soldevi Digger card floating about. So unappreciated that card is.

And I hope you have the sense to simply transplant the artwork from Preacher onto the new card template, as I doubt much anything could improve upon Quinton Hoover's rendition.

I know, Why don't we ask Dubble if he will expand the backgrounds (or make them) on the Chibis, that way we can fill the cards, and have ready made user cards at the same time (I'll be floored if Dubble doesn't make a chibi outta pang after this).

Wow, old thread is old...

But I wouldn't mind making some MTG cards again, if only because the fake cards are much more fun then the real ones (Baseless assumption). Is there a photoshop .psd of a template that we could work off of? That would be nice as the links in this thread have expired like a dead person.

I can think of many reasons.

Many, many.

Oh yeah, Thats right. It's because I'm THIS!!!

So, Crash, does this mean I get a new card? Also, never ever reprint cards are awesome.

By no means did I want to imply that Magic: The Gamingforce was SUPER CANCELLED FOREVER, I just don't really have the level of presence anymore that would be necessary to contribute much to it, aside from a few oldbies that still haven't had their due. This is just, I guess, an additional thing to help keep the thread alive, and allows more participation from folks who just want to do a fancy art thing without the hassle of mechanics.

Unfortunately Quinton Hoover's homepage is on AOL of all things and is riddled with broken links so finding a decent-quality original Preacher is unlikely. But hope still lives while I ETC ETC

Dekoa: While the idea of GFF-made art on GFF-made cards about GFFers is a good one, there is a kind of style guide that needs to be adhered to. Anime-style art is not within the style guide.

This is the one Wild Violence made for me:

I can't remember if I ever had one of these made for me. I'm thinking I did, way back in the day. It's been a long time.

I'd love to see the results of the new project. Unfortunately I'm so out of touch with current rules, standards, and appearances as to render any help I might offer more or less useless. :/

What the foot? We were just talking about reviving this thread a few nights ago. Anywayz, where's my card?

I wouldn't mind if someone made me one.

A long while back, Serge made me this :3
This was back when I had Tobumon for my username.

It'd be cool if someone could make me a new one with my current username :3

Oooh, purty pictures. Make me one!

oh, man.

"Hey guys I am doing something different!"

"That's cool, can we continue doing the old thing?"

"Sure, do whichever."

PS if anybody happens upon a Future Sight patch for OCTGN, PM 'kay?

Somebody make an OCTGN thread again please. Also update link in opening post.

What, so you can all continue NOT AMUSING ME with it?

Ok done

SUFFER

I think you made one of me a long long time ago Pang. Do you still have it?

If not, I don't request that you make another one, because, you know, I wouldn't want to inconvenience you (and these new ones feel so cheap, I am better than that...)
