“Uhh.. Hi?”

Here ya go, it's new but it's still got the vibes it always had

(The start of my series of posts trying to make sense of how this card game concept of mine would play)

Cartoon Calamity is a card-based fighting game meant to be played with multiple people [4-10, more if you so wish] but can also be played with fewer, just expect matches to be much quicker, that involves picking a character deck of your choice and duking it out!

So, how exactly does the game go? Simple.. Each player chooses a Character Deck (which will be fully explained later, but for reference are just specific decks each with a different playstyle) and the whole game is just to beat all other players, once your the last one standing you win! Each player starts with 10 Health, and turn order can be decided through the players and the usual "rock paper scissors" bout for who's goin first

There are two ways to win a game technically, the standard is the Brawl Victory which is being the last contestant who hasn't been Knocked Out, but their is also the Attrition Victory. Think of it as the "Ensure games don't go on for too long" victory, after 25 (or whatever number everyone gets bored at) turn loops you instead count up who has the moth health and that person is considered the victor! If it's a tie, add on the amount of cards current in either's hand to their health. If you somehow still have a tie, hope your good at arm wrestling..

| How Turns Go | When it does become your turn

.1 || Draw a Card from your deck and add it to your hand, you can do this even if your turn is skipped or you are unable to play any cards

.2 || Whenever it’s your turn, you always start with 3 Moxie to be used to play your cards. Play whatever cards you choose according to such, spending the Moxie Cost of any card when you put them down until you can’t spend any more (You can choose to leave Moxie unspent, but it won’t transfer to your next turn, it just doesn’t go to use)

.3 || If any cards played activate other trinkets like Dice Rolls, Call-Ins, or Specialty Cards then you do them after playing all your Deck Cards for that turn. This rule is only not applied if such is required to actually play any cards due to character-specific rules and such (actions will specify if this is the case, don’t worry)

.4 || Discard all the Cards played unless they actively say otherwise like (..Keep on the Field) or (..This stays in effect until..), or are Call-Ins deployed in since they stay until destroyed

.5 || Pass your turn to the next player

These will often stay the same through any game, the only times these change is when a player is skipped or can't play during their turn in which it's more Step 1 straight to Step 5

| Extra Mechanics |

Burnout - If whenever playing and during your turn you end up using all the cards currently in your hand (meaning your hand is empty), you suffer Burnout. This means you take 2 damage and then draw 2 cards, but can still continue playing if you have the means too, often acting more like a risk to playing too quickly. Also occurs if your hand is reduced to empty by means of other players too

Ailments - These are usually only in play if using an Inflictor deck in a game, since these are negative effects often played and placed on other contestants. They can do a many range of things, but importantly are only activated once it becomes the affected's turn, so if someone plays a card and gives another contestant something like a poison status it then means they only become damaged by it once their turn commences

Head-On Duels - An optional ruleset, whenever a game becomes just 2 contestants left the rules change up to both make things trickier but also give a climatic bout at the end. This forces players who skip their turn without play a card to take 1 damage, as well as giving both players 4 Moxie at the start of their turn instead of 3 for more options

It's been in the making, but it's finally done! I have the full roster of Character Cards made for Season 1 that are now ready for deck-building and also plenty more So here they are!

It's taking a bit longer than expected to get the full Season 1 cast of this Cartoon Calamity starter set, so have the character cards so far to know who's in for now! (will explain more about each once I get the first full cast for this Season, there'll be 8 of them in total)

Alright folks, you've been waiting and I'll gladly show my work! Say hello to the first new deck of Cartoon Calamity: Rosifre!

She's a Pugilist who is very much built to be the "Glass Cannon" style of character where you build up powerful attacks but with risk of taking damage and not having much fall-back her Call-Ins:

And her actual Deck:

Even during the most festive and happy of seasons, contestants in CC still find some reason to brawl with one another (atleast they're dressed for the occasion) and it's looking like a snowy rumble indeed! (Were finally getting back into the grove of doing art and work for Cartoon Calamity, expect more art from the group and be looking out for the monthly Battle Banners like this one! If you wanna see this stuff made in real time, or just wanna join this card brawling community, come join our Discord!)

Hello my Cartoon Calamity fans! (Or maybe you just enjoy the artwork, I wouldn’t mind) it’s been a bit quiet like I usually do for periods of time but this time I have an actual excuse

Due to some technical issues I’m currently in the process of fixing, I haven’t been able to work on more cards and mostly have been pretty stunted..

After a loooong wait (who knew getting a job would interfere with passion projects?) I gots another deck for you CC Enjoyers! Pumpkin, The Hospitable Baker! One of the few members coming from the grand and mystical world of Eastolas, Pumpkin is a nekomatta (for those wanting simplicity, cat human) known for being an exceptional baker/chef as well as an exceptional motherly figure to those who need it. Having well gone through her own hardships and problems before being adopted into the role of chef for the Eastolas Royal Family, her top priority throughout it all hasn't changed, and that's to make sure no one she cares about has to face their own hardships without her help Pumpkin is a bit of an interesting playstyle, being well rounded in most aspects but having abilities and cards that focus on not only healing but negating healing as well! You can even prioritize assisting others in the fight by healing them too either as a way to continue the chaos or maybe do some guilt tripping, or go the opposite route and stop others from using their healing tricks to ensure a deadly combo against them
