Ah, I see. I suppose I'm just used to games where when a character is spent they remain so until your next turn.

That was actually the original idea, but if it were set up that way then Characters that had attacked would not be able to use Defenses during that turn, which I think would unfairly penalize aggression.

This is very exciting, I can't wait to start playing! I've been in the TCG scene for years and this seems pretty well thought out. Of course it will take some test playing to get it fine tuned but you have a very solid base here. There is only one thing that I found strange. It was stated in the rules that attack events were the most common cause of a character being spent, however the restore spent characters step immediately follows the play events step, effectively restoring all the characters you spent immediately. It seems a bit odd to even have to spend them in the first place when that effect would be immediately undone. Was this intentional or am I simply misunderstanding the ruling?

PS: I'll see what I can do as far as artwork goes for you. ;)

As a matter of fact, it was intentional. The way that the rules and cards currently interact on that point causes Characters to attack only once per turn, except if using more expensive Attacks.

This looks intriguing! Hopefully I can use it to get my card game-fan friends into NiGHTS!

Ah, yes... yes indeed. Perhaps this will be the gateway drug with which we can assimilate tabletop gaming culture into our own. Mwahaha! *evil chuckle*

Or maybe we can just give them a neat new toy, right? ^_^
