Continued mini battle

Well, it's not so mini after all, is it? Anyway, it was now my turn. I had no monsters against Cococlaw (A:90, D:50, L:30) and Takaw (A:30, D:20, L:110). I summoned Opitar (A:40, D:40, L:100), which has Fly. It could kill Cococlaw, but not Takaw too. So, down went Cococlaw and Takaw was left uneffected. On my sisters turn, she discarded her Takaw for Spuntix (A:70, D:40, L:100), which also has Fly! It's like every card in this game has been a bird!

Anyway, Spuntix knocked Opitars Life down to 60. On my turn, I discarded Opitar for a Spuntix of my own! However, mine had an advantage. Why? Because I gave the equip card Rage (it gives the monster the ability Fury)! My spuntix attacked her Spuntix twice, destroying it! She played Kailo on her turn (A:70, D: 40, L:100), and it attacked Spuntix. With my monster on 70 Life, I had to do something good - and quick. I summoned Boost (A:50, D:20, L:100), which boosted my Spuntix's attack up to 90!

Boost attacked first, leaving Kailo with 70 Life. Spuntix used one of it's attacks to kill it and the other to lower my sister's Health down to 110. It was her turn and she knew that it was over. She summoned Jackoo (A:70, D:40, L:120), and got Spuntix's Life down to 40, but it wasn't enough. On my turn, I discarded Boost for Police Bot. Spuntix used it's 2 attacks on Jackoo, and Police Bot took her Health to 0.

So, after a shaky start, I eventually won! I need to get some more cards soon, so that I can play even better games! You can see more of Genso on YouTube (https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCaktQ_2MU_TOtDX-i5qqSqA), my FaceBook (https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100019918095799), DeviantArt (http://aero460.deviantart.com) and my Shop (https://www.thegamecrafter.com/games/genso-the-trading-card-game)!

Mini battle

In this post, I want to write about a mini battle I had with my sister. We played with all my cards (regardless of their element), and we both had 10 each. And whilst that is nowhere near 40, the game was still good. We only had 2 Equip cards each, but when they were used, it was annoying if you weren't the one using it!

I went first and summoned Wizor (A:70, D:40, L:90). And of course I drew 2 cards, thanks to Wizor's ability. Then, it was my sisters turn. She summoned Cococlaw (A:90, D:50, L:100), which I was a little upset about, because I love Cococlaw! However, that was not all. She played the Equip card Sky Orb (it gives a monster Fly), and she gave it to Cococlaw. With this new power, Cococlaw destroyed my Wizor. It was my turn and I wasn't too sure on what to do.

My usual tactic when I get Wizor first is to discard him for a Veteran monster next turn. I was a bit worried; especially because of how powerful Cococlaw had become. I got the monster Weeds (A:70, D:20, L:100). I knew that Weeds wouldn't last too long, but I just wanted to weaken Cococlaw. I also Equipped the Equip card Poison (the equipped monster becomes Poisoned) to Cococlaw, and Weeds attacked 3 times (thanks to it's ability). Cococlaw only went down to 40 Life, but I knew that it would be gone soon. And, at the end of the turn, Cococlaw lost another 5 Life.

On my sisters turn, she summoned Takaw (A:30, D:20, L:110). Cococlaw attacked Weeds, leaving it with a measly 10 Life. But it didn't last long, for Takaw also has Fly, and it destroyed Weeds. However, since Cococlaw was Poisoned, it lost an other 5 Life.

I'll continue this in my next post, because I don't want this to go on forever!

Inferno

For this post, I want to write about the new realm I'm making, Inferno. It's not going to be anything special (Utopia is my main realm!), butm it's just for fun. It's cool because Lava flows under the crysal floor, which is smooth and always shiny. And, the energy coming from the Psychic monsters not only keeps it from melting, but keeps it nice and cold.

There are perfectly smooth volcanos and floating cubes of crystal floating above holes in the ground. There are rivers of lava (and they, like everything else, are all straight and smooth) and whole crystal countries, which are seperated by lava oceans. And what is the greatest thing? Whenever they're under attack, the Psychic monsters just make lava shoot out form the floor underneath the enemy monsters. And if that doesn't stop them, then the powerful might of the Fire monsters will surely defeat them.

Another cool thing is that even if Inferno was taken from them, the invaders would just be killed without the Psychic monsters there!

Don't forget to check out my shop page (https://www.thegamecrafter.com/games/genso-the-trading-card-game), where you can get the free rules and booster packs.

Another archetype

I had a cool idea for an archetype. They'll basically screw the main rule of Genso... Can you guess what they'll do? Here is the El archetype!

That's a test idea of one. They'll be from all different elements, but how can you use them if you can only have 2 elements? Well (prepare for the rule screwing), they'll have a card which will break the very laws of Genso... This card will be indestructable, and it will always go to the top of your deck. When you play it, you can use any El monster in your deck without having to play by the normal element restrictions! 

These will be great because you'll be able to combat elemental advatages pretty easily and they'll swap out for other El monsters, too. So, if you have a Water El monster and your opponent has a Grass monster, you can simply put the Water one in your deck and find another El monster and put it on the field. They'll be fun to play, and probably tough to beat with all the swapping!

The main reason why I like these is because they'll basically just ignore the rules which everybody else has to follow! What do you think?

You can subscribe to my YouTube channel (https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCaktQ_2MU_TOtDX-i5qqSqA), where you'll find loads of great Genso videos! Or, add me on FaceBook (https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100019918095799). Don't forget my DeviantArt (http://aero460.deviantart.com), for some cool TCG art! And, the coolest one of all, the Shop page (https://www.thegamecrafter.com/games/genso-the-trading-card-game)!

Archetype ideas

So, for this post, I want to talk about future archetype ideas. I'll probably release them in their own decks sometime between Gen 2 and Gen 3, and they'll be released seperatly, too. I already have 2 ideas, but I'm stuck for others. Any ideas?

The first one is the Elf archetype. They'll be weak, but they'll have lots of X Combos. You've already seen some of these, so you know what I'm talking about. I'll probably make these first, because I really love the idea of them and I want to use them. They'll be like the Heroes in Yugioh (I know that they're dead now, but I won't be making any crazy rule changes), full of awesome cards!

Another idea I have is the Ring Archetype. They'll have names like Ring Master and Ring Lion, and they're looking really promising right now. I'll probably make them Psychic or Metal (or both). They'll be fun to play, too. They'll be boosted by the Ring monsters in the Dead Pile, and there will be loads of cards to return those, too. They'll be really annoying to verse, I think!

And that's all the ideas I've got for archetypes (they're really hard to come up with!). If you have any ideas, please let me know! You can comment here, or...

You could message me on FaceBook (https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100019918095799)! You could also let me know on YouTube (https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCaktQ_2MU_TOtDX-i5qqSqA) or DeviantArt (http://aero460.deviantart.com).

M.A.R Part 2

Next up for M.A.R (Make A Realm) is how it'll look. Do you want a peacful place? A war zone? A huge industrial land? This will help you out :)
Alright. This is where your dice comes in handy. Roll them and just write down where you landed. Keep on jumping from the different things until you end up back at the start. Got it? Also, if you get 2 things in the same part, it's okay, because you can either pick one or merge them together.
Terrain:
- (this is a blank, but count it in your jump.)
- Forest
- Ice
- Desert
- Mountain
- Cube
- Dead
- Industrial
- Heaven
- Chaos
Battle:
- War Zone
- Peacful
- Good-all-around
- Defensive
- Offensive
This is pretty much it. If you're unhappy with what you got, you could always go again! I got Cube, Chaos and Good-all-around. I'm actually quite happy with that. The Cube bit matches the Psychic element (I can imagine cubes floating above a smooth, flat floor), but the Chaos part probably goes better with Ghost, Fire, or Fight. However, I also like the idea of my Cube land also being mixed with the common idea of hell. Plus, Good-all-around is probably the best you can get (except for Peacful, that is).
I hope that this has helped you to think of a realm! Remember to change anything that doesn't suit you. You could even add a few things to the list above, just so that your realm will be even more unique to you!

You can go to my FaceBook for any news (https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100019918095799), my YouTube (https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCaktQ_2MU_TOtDX-i5qqSqA) for some videos about my card game, or the Genso TCG Shop (https://www.thegamecrafter.com/games/genso-the-trading-card-game) where you can get some cards!

Make a realm

I'm going to try and help you to make a realm. This is for people who want to make one, but don't have a huge imagination. You'll need a dice and probably a bit of paper to write this all down for later.

Naming your realm: To make a name, just simply find your elements and pick one of the names with it.

Air - Caeli, Ventus, Cornu, Astra
Earth - Crystallo, Petram, Luto, Montis
Fight - Pugna, Bellator, Calcitrare, Broka
Fire - Ignis, Flamma, Pyros, Photia
Ghost - Spiravit, Tenuem, Mortuus, Zomala
Grass - Terra, Phila, Loudi, Thendro
Metal - Metallo, Orea, Mecha, Aluminia
Poison - Vena, Toxos, Dilitirio, Nucila
Psychic - Telepela, Kinisa, Visiza, Magispal
Water - Aquas, Atlantis, Hydros, Psaria

I'll probably continue this in another post, because it'll make a long post! Pick a name that you like, and change it so that it sounds better to you. If you want to watch some Genso TCG videos, you can go to my YouTube channel (https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCaktQ_2MU_TOtDX-i5qqSqA)!

More comic stuff

I was thinking about what to write for this post, and I decided that it would probably be good to write more about the Genso comic. I'll probably use the name Battle-mech for the, well, Battle-mechs. About the whole school dilemma, I've got no clue. Maybe I'll just start the comic off without mentioning it. I could see how the comic goes and see if it needs a school to add a bit of realism. So, there are 4 main characters. As for bad guys, I'm not all too sure. I want to make a bad guy who comes from the future, and he wants to destroy me. I know why, but I need to leave something as a mystery, don't I?

Hold on... I know what I'm going to do. I go to school like normal, and I don't take my cards with me. After a while (once we've all gotten used to how the battles flow in the comic), then I'll introduce the bad guy. Of course, he'll try to destroy me - and he will fail because I'm the main character. You won't see much of my school after that (for a mysterious reason), and it'll just be my group of friends against the powers of the future!

I'm not sure what Mr.Future (that's his name for now) will do to stop me from doing my normal stuff, but I'll figure it out. Maybe he'll stop time for only us, and we have to try and get time, erm, unstopped. It's a bit dumb right now, but it's just the skeleton of a story. I still need to add the organs (the whole rest of the stuff) and the skin (which will be the actual comic). It sounds a little weird when put like that, doesn't it?

Anyway, do you want to see this in a comic? If so, let me know below. Or on FaceBook (https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100019918095799). If you want to see some concept art for the comic, then DeviantArt is the place to go (http://aero460.deviantart.com)! For videos, my YouTube is the place to be (https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCaktQ_2MU_TOtDX-i5qqSqA). And finally, the Shop has all packs, which contain cards (https://www.thegamecrafter.com/games/genso-the-trading-card-game) - and there are free downloadable rules, too!

Comical problem!

I'm having trouble deciding things for the Genso comic. So, I'll ask you guys (as the fans who I trust) what I should do. What should I call the thing that you put the cards on? For simplicity, I'll call it a Duel Disk for now.

I can't call it a Duel Disk, but what can I call it? When you think about it, it's used to put cards on. And, of course, the cards battle each other. It's kind of like a mechanical game board, I guess. Hmmm... How about calling it a Battle-something? How does a Battle-mech sound? I quite like the idea of using a Battle-mech, don't you? However, I'm not sure. I may think of something better (or you guys might).

I was planning on making it so that the main characters get their gear from Andreas' Dad, because he could work at Holo.co, right? The father of the genius is a genius, which makes sense. So, if that's the case, what should I do about a school? Having a school which teaches you to play a card game is a little bit dumb sounding (however, I love Yugioh GX). Would the kids there play during break time?

No, because the teachers would most likely confiscate the cards. And, of course, the really expensive Battle-mechs, which will cause a huge distraction during class - because they won't exactly fit in your pocket, will they? For a long time, there were no schools in Pokemon. Now I can see why! Maybe I'll make it so that they do their stuff outside of school (and maybe a litte bit inside). But, then again, would teachers allow their students to take days off to play in tournaments? I doubt it. What do you think I should do?

You can comment below, or you could message me on FaceBook (https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100019918095799). Don't forget about my deviantArt (http://aero460.deviantart.com) and my YouTube (https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCaktQ_2MU_TOtDX-i5qqSqA)!

Other competition ideas

I was thinking, wouldn't it be cool if I create a competition every time I hit 100 Subscribers? That would allow you guys to design loads of cool monsters (and win, I hope!)

Also, I could make competitions for anything related to this trading card game, not just monsters!
I'm thinking Special cards, elements - whole archetype ideas even! And also competitions for normal monsters, too. Magic and Equip cards would also be quite cool, don't you think? I always wanted this game to have loads to do with it's fans, will you (as my fans) help me with that?

I used to make loads of cool Pokemon ideas. Where are they now? Bouldilo, Makit, Goldy. All the monsters which never got noticed by Game Freak are now not Pokemon, but Genso monsters instead. I wanted to see them in a game sooo bad, but it just never happened.

That's not what I want for my card game! I want you guys to be able to join in on the creation, and have fun with it! I want everybody who wants to design monsters for my TCG to have the chance.
So, once again, help me out if you want the chance to see your ideas on official Genso cards (with your name, too)! Subscribe to my YouTube channel (https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCaktQ_2MU_TOtDX-i5qqSqA), ! Add me on FaceBook (https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100019918095799), check out my DeviantArt (http://aero460.deviantart.com)! And, of course, check out the Genso Shop page (https://www.thegamecrafter.com/games/genso-the-trading-card-game)!

Competitions?

As you can probably guess from the title, this post is going to be about competitions. When will I make them? What will it be for? Who can participate? I'll answer them all in this post!
So, when? Well, when I have around 100 Subscribers on my YouTube channel, around 100 friends on FaceBook and so on, I'll do it. This is because I want there to be quite a lot of people to be able to join in. If I do it now, I'll probably only get around 10 entries. And I'm hoping to pick more than 1 winner!
I'm hoping to make the competiton for a new brother (or sister) for Roky and Volky. I would really like to see what you guys can come up with. It'll need to have a similar name to Roky and Volky (for example, Bulky, or Sulky), so that people who don't know about the competition will know that they're related in some way. I'll also like to add the creators name somewhere on the card, so that everyone knows who designed it.
And lastly, anybody can join in! All you'll have to do is put it up on DeviantArt and let me know - or send it to me on FaceBook, upload it in the comment section here, etc..
Would you like this competition to happen? Help me to get to 100 Subscribers! Hopefully, we can make this happen soon!
You can subscribe to my YouTube channel (https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCaktQ_2MU_TOtDX-i5qqSqA), where I make awesome videos! Or, add me on FaceBook (https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100019918095799) for any Genso TCG news (I'll probably post the competition on there first!). Don't forget my DeviantArt (http://aero460.deviantart.com)! And, the best thing you could do is get a pack from my Shop page (https://www.thegamecrafter.com/games/genso-the-trading-card-game)!

More for Battles!

In this post, I thought that it would be cool to do a bit more on GB (Genso Battles). There are a few things that I missed out...

As you can see, there are a lot of similarites. You still have the same abilities (a few have been altered, but I'll get to that), stats (almost) and elements (few!). However, what does the new stuff mean?

The new S stat is probably going the be the first thing which catches your attention. It's the Speed stat and it tells you how many tiles (the squares which make up the board) you can move it per turn. Simple enough, right? Well, Fury has changed for this game. Instead of being able to attack twice, you can attack and move twice! Plus, it doesn't have to be straight away, you can move once and attack once, and then move it and attack another round! Another ability is Shoot. Instead of a direct attack, you can target any monster!

Also, you probably noticed the B rank. They are Buildings, and they can be played during your Summoning Phase. They stay where you put them and they often have cool abilities. They normally have a good Defence and Life stat, so you can use them to protect your Castle.
And that's it. What do you think? I might add new stuff and change existing stuff, because it's still an idea. Again, let me know what you think!

You can comment here or you can message me on FaceBook (https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100019918095799). I also have my DeviantArt (http://aero460.deviantart.com)for, well, art. My YouTube (https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCaktQ_2MU_TOtDX-i5qqSqA) has loads of good Genso related videos, and my Shop has something even better... the cards (https://www.thegamecrafter.com/games/genso-the-trading-card-game)!

Genso Battles

A little while back, I was working on another game; Genso Battles. It is like normal Genso, but it's also similar to a board game. When you summon a monster, you move it across the board. The aim of the game is to destroy your opponents Castle (which is the same as Health) before they destroy yours. I played it and it's actually quite fun. The rules are a bit different, though.

Once a monster has moved and attacked, they become tired and can't be used again until your next turn. In Genso Battles, the turns work differently. You have your Summoning Phase (you can summon as many Warrior monsters as you want, but you can only play one Hero or Veteran per turn), your Moving Phase and your End Phase. However, that is not all. You see, you take it in rounds to do stuff. So, at the start of a turn, you and your opponent draw 5 cards. You can do whatever you're allowed to do. Like summon 3 Warriors and a Hero monster, move them and attack (if there is anything to attack). However, if they move and attack, they become Exhausted (they can't do anything until your next turn). Once your round has finished, it's your opponents round. They can do the same. On your next round, you can still summon monsters, but not a Hero or Veteran, since you summoned one last round.

You can move any monster which isn't Exhausted, and attack with any that aren't. But the ones which do, become Exhausted. Now, at the start of your round you can end the turn, making it the next turn. Your opponent can also do this.

All your Exhausted monsters are back in action, and you draw until you have 5 cards (so if you still had a card, you'd draw 4). Then, since you ended the turn, you go first. And you do this until you destroy your opponents Castle, which is right at the back of the field, on their side.

Would you like to see this game? Let me know! You can comment below, or you could message me on FaceBook (https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100019918095799). You can check out my YouTube (https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCaktQ_2MU_TOtDX-i5qqSqA)for awesome videos related to my card game (and possibly Genso Battles one day), or my DeviantArt, where I post pictures relating to my TCGs (http://aero460.deviantart.com).

Spoilers!


As this is the 30th post for Genso, I wanted to show some of the new cards which WILL be in Generation 2. If you'd prefer to wait until Gen 2 is ready, then don't read on!


Here is an Electric monster (they're going to be so cool!), Porta, a new Ghost monster, Shade Wizor and new Earth monster, Crysto. These are probably some of favourite monsters yet (I know that Shade Wizor is just an evil Wizor, but I love Wizor), and I can't wait until I release them!




Here are another 3 monsters, Galacti, I Scream and Terotamus. I really like these guys, too! I Scream was made way back in Elementus, so it's a classic to me.





 

Our final 2 are a Pet card and a Kroma card! Yeah, a Kroma card. They're basically different coloured monsters. I'm showing you guys Maka and Blaze (the Kroma Blaze!), because they look pretty cool, don't you think?

And the're all the spoilers the spoilers that I'll show you. Let me know what you think below!If you want to watch some Genso TCG videos, then why not check out my YouTube channel (https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCaktQ_2MU_TOtDX-i5qqSqA)?

Your ideas

Do you have any new card ideas which you'd like to see in action and in the hands of all the Genso fans? You could let me know, and there's a chance that I may make them. Of course, if I do use an awesome fan made idea, I'll let every other Genso player know who the maker is!

I get new ideas all the time, but not all of them are great. And maybe you guys could make a new card idea which is better than the ones that I've come up with so far! I remember when I once made a really cool idea for Yugioh. It never got noticed or anything. That's why I'm doing this, so that anybody like me can actually have a chance of getting their card (and themselves for thinking of it) noticed. It could even be an idea for a new Element! Any ideas that you have, I want to hear them!

Whatever your idea is, just comment below!

You can check out my YouTube (https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCaktQ_2MU_TOtDX-i5qqSqA) where I make cool videos for my TCG, my DeviantArt (http://aero460.deviantart.com) if you want to see some Genso art, or my FaceBook (https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100019918095799) where I'll keep you updated on any news. Or, you could check out my Shop (https://www.thegamecrafter.com/games/genso-the-trading-card-game)!


My ideas

I've had loads of crazy ideas for the future of Genso... Like Magic monsters, Y combos, Z Combos (like X combos but different), God cards (not like Yugioh, or the rank) and double cards! I'll need to explain all these ideas! However, none of these have been tested yet, so bare with me!

Magic monsters will be able to be used as either a Magic card or a monster in a game. These could be really awesome and powerful as a result, in my opinion. Y Combos were actually created back in Elementus V2! So, they've been tested. Basically, you mix 2 of the same monster together to make an even better version of it. Like evolution in Pokemon, they get bigger and better. Like Wizor would become Wizlord, and 2 Wizlords together would become Wizaster!

These are actually very similar to X Combos and they work really well. Z combos would just be any monsters making a bigger one. Like Veteran cards and Heroes - but you'd have them in your Special deck, so once you have enough monsters you could just get the Z monster straight away. I do want to make more cool rules and stuff for these guys, but I'm not too sure just yet on everything.

Gods cards will have a place next to the deck and they'll be like the Plainswalker cards in Magic. For any non-Magic players there will be counters, and you can remove counters once per turn to choose a thing to do. Like, paying three counters will allow you to draw an extra card or something like that. Double cards will be really cool. They'll be half of a monster on one card, and the other half on another. You can only summon these monsters together, so you'll have to wait until you get them both.

You play them at once and they'll count as one monster, but they'll have 2 Attack stats and will be able to attack twice!
