2. are captains counted as spacefaring? Or are captains not allowed at all?

Yes, I was wondering about that as well. I have a few thoughts on the subject, but I think I'll wait and see what Luminar wants to do with them.

I actually started work on this and completed most of it before GA was ever even announced, so Captains aren't really worked into the rules as such. Right now I don't exactly want to fiddle around with the formula I have - maybe Captains can be a feature left for an expansion to the ruleset. (How ironic.)

I printed everything off to read. I need the print bigger and to make notes on it. It'll take me a day or so.

Maybe captains can be similar to normal creatures, just limited to 1 per deck? Not sure if that would work better as one captain overall, or one Captain X... eh now I'm trying to remember how epics were going to be implemented before you took them out, maybe similar to that XP?

I was thinking maybe they could be a further "upgrade" which require a specific species. Say if you have a spacefaring KOR on the field, you could put down KOR captains on top of it as an upgrade. I dunno, it seems like right now more shouldn't be added until the formula is good.

I like that idea... I'm currently trying to assess how hard it would be to make a digital, online version of this game. It doesn't look THAT bad...

At least GA provides a lot more options for Item cards >__>

I little more oringinal would be nice. I don't want to play spore pokemon.

I think it looks great, and I'm not much of a card player, but would be happy to help. I can at least be a test idiot type -- you know, the person who does stuff that everybody facepalms and then you have to make another rule....

lol

@Luminar

I think we should stay simple before the captain stuff.

It should be a new series (Captain) called GA series or something.

Like did you see how in Yu-Gi-Oh they added ritual cards as a new type in Magic Rulers.

(No I don't play Yu-Gi-Oh )

This Idea is UBER and it should not die, I'll do whatever I can to help

Keep it simple for now, and expand in each new set.

Perhaps captains can be like uber creatures? And can do stuff that normal creatures cant? Like use mind meld or have power ups that only captains can use? I dont know. Very nice idea by the way.

They could be "hero" cards. They each have a reputation about something printed on the card about their achievements and their can only ever be one in the action slots and maybe could cost something for putting them in play. But like many people have suggested they could be uber creatures.

I would like to help make cards too.

While I was helping Luminar with gameplay ideas, he drew inspiration from as many TCGs as we could think of so it wouldn't be too similar to anything else that's out there. If it looks like Pokémon, it's probably because there are a lot of monsters/creatures/what-have-you in a deck and they evolve VV It shares other elements, but those aren't unique to Pokémon (such as energy costs for attacks, items, etc) and are found in most TCGs.

Anyway, for fun, here's a KOR card art sketch I did maybe seven months ago (but still haven't finished yet.. erm u_u)

Are there going to be powerup cards as well. Such as you know the shield which would sheild you from one attack or the increased damage powerup

Well, I don't have anything against the pokemon TCG except the fact attacks require you to play cards. I never liked that.
