Introducing Oneirus: The NiGHTS Into Dreams Card Game

26 December 2012 - 04:01 AM

Merry Christmas to you all, my favorite fandom of anything ever! I've been searching for the last six years for a fitting gift to give back to all of you, that would show you how important you and NiGHTS have been to me and to the direction my life has taken. Frankly, you all are a big part of why I am who and where I am in my life today, and I'm pretty happy with how that's turned out so far. So thank you, all of you.

Now, as for this gift itself... it's been a long time coming. I originally devised the idea in 2008 and worked on it for around six months before I hit a wall in its development. Then, somewhere around three weeks ago, I found my file on the project and had an epiphany allowing me to finish my work. The final result, with the invaluable assistance of Alamedyang, is what I have brought you today.

Now, on to the project itself!

Oneirus: the NiGHTS Into Dreams Card Game

Rules (Google Drive)
Be sure to read these carefully, since they're not 100% set in stone yet. We're working on getting everything nailed down and properly edited, but it's still got just a touch left to go.

Cards (MediaFire)
Bronze cards - Any number of each card here go in any deck
Silver cards - Up to three of each of these cards can go in any deck
Gold cards - Only one of each of these can go in each deck

These PDFs are around 5 MB each, and a card-back sheet should be forthcoming within the next couple of days (so that you can print fancy-looking cards yourself if you like), as will a page of counters for damage, Boosts, Dream Power, Drains, and Bonuses. Additionally, the cards do not have images yet! And I happen to be addressing the most artistic community I've ever seen! So: If you see a card for which you have drawn art, or want to draw art for, send an image which is 1048 x 790 pixels at 300 DPI to me (Q-Lok), or to Alamedyang and there's a very good chance we'll be using it for the final version.

Keep an eye on this topic, because I'll be updating it with each release (since we are going to keep the PDFs updated as card images get finished. For those interested, a full list of the cards that need images is directly below, as well as what the non-obvious ones were inspired by, in spoiler tags. If you want to submit card art, please make sure to include the card title so that we know which card you want the art on.

Now go forth, my compatriots, and play!
