Fuwanovel's Battle of the Guilds - Final Status and Community Gift

[OriginalRen]

 

A Message from the Creator:

 

Ladies and gentlemen of Fuwanovel,

 

After careful consideration and multiple attempts to revive the Battle of the Guilds game hosted on the forums of the website, I have decided to close the game for good and do what I think is necessary for the community to enjoy something that I feel was an absolute joy to create.

 

Creating the BOGs game was a very enjoyable experience, and as many of my fellow TeamSpeak users will state, there would days I would stay up for countless hours creating cards and managing the setup of such a grand forum activity. The hype, the participation, it was all an incredible experience. Truth be told, it was far more than I could handle and because of this experience I have learned how to best handle games like this for the future. People lost interest, and losing players meant it was more of a challenge for updating boards. Not only that, but having to wait for players to finish their turns meant long waits for a lot of players; running 6 games at once is not an easy task.

 

This game was when I felt I was at a high point for activity ideas on Fuwanovel, and thanks to it, I have managed to come up with over 10 different game ideas for this year which I will start dishing out in the next month or so. While giveaways are important to me, so is actively allowing new and old members of Fuwanovel to have a place where they can socialize and feel the same kind of experience I had when coming here. That being said, this is not the end of activities, nor do I feel this is the end of the BOGs.

 

Linked below is the game in its entirety. After reorganizing most of the material I used in creating the game, I have uploaded all of the necessary files onto my Google Drive available for free download by any member of the community who so wishes to use this game for whatever purpose he or she wants to in the future. Simply click the following link below to start the download. The file is zipped for your convenience.

 

Thanks again, and see you around.

What is in the file?

• Board Layouts - For 2 player, 3 player, and 4 player games respectively
• Card Templates - These templates include a layout for creating your very own guild cards with their own unique name and crest, in addition to starting agent, location, and relic card templates that allow you to create the starting deck of 9 cards for each guild. Finally, there are 3 templates for creating freelance agents, non-starting location cards, and non-starting relic cards which are used in the game

Please Note: The templates are .psd files, meaning you can only edit them with Photoshop.

• OriginalRen's Cards - Don't feel like making your very own cards? Simply use the deck I have already prepared which I will preview below. Keep in mind that if you want to make your own deck of cards, you need to use the values listed on the cards I created for balance purposes when playing the game

Anzu has a value of 3, 2, 2, 7 respectively, with a main power value in friendship. You can replace this card with your own picture and name, but remember that the 1 of the cards in the deck of 49 freelance agents must match that of Anzu's values. This is so the game remains balanced.

 

Overall, the entire game deck consists of the following card counts:

• 49 freelance agent cards
• 36 location cards
• 31 relic cards
• 9 starting cards for each guild (7 agents, 1 location, and 1 relic)

 

Finally, the rules for the game can be found in the following links:

• Game Rules
• Card Anatomy
• Agent Cards
• Location Cards
• Relic Cards
• The Twins Card

Finally, to all of you who participated in the BOGs game after the signups finished, you will all be receiving a special award icon based on what guild you joined. I will be dishing these out in the next few hours.

 

Thanks again all.
