TerminologyIn the event that I actually start manufacturing Shmod cards, I'ma have to make some changes to the terminology so that I don't get sued. ...'Cuz all our terms are from MTG or Yugioh. So, I'll make a list.
Accepting input happily.
Monster: Fighter
ATK Points: Strike Points (STK)
DEF Points: Guard Points (GRD)
Spell Card: Spell Card
Trap Card: Hidden Card
Equip Spell: Item Spell
Field Spell: Arena Spell
Continuous Spell: Permanent Spell
Quickplay Spell: Swift Spell
Fusion Monster: Combination Fighter
Fusion Deck: C/T Stack*
Graveyard: Discard Pile
Tribute/Destroy: Discard
Removed from Play: Removed
Discard from Hand**: Scrap
*(The 'T' is Transformation, one of Shmod's original gameplay ideas)
**(In Yugioh, this is referred to as Discard)

I wouldn't recommend using Permanent Spell; that's the OCG version of Continuous Spell in YGO. Methinks a better choice would be Lingering Spell.
|
Aarikku
|
Meh - I'm not too worried about Japan Yugioh. They're kinda on the other side of the planet, and also the Japanese word for 'Permanent' can likely translate into a bunch of similar things as well.
|

Sounds cool to me.
|
Aarikku
|
Good. Because I ran out of room on a card and had to use "scrap".
|
Aarikku

After deciding that I wanted a noun to replace 'Hidden' (so you can say stuff like "I set one Spell/Trap" instead of "I set one Spell or Hidden Card") I have come up with Hazard.
I wouldn't mind another word for 'Spell' either...
|
Naardaas
|
Spell's fine to use. Almost every single _CG worth its salt has Spell Cards.
And Hazard Card? I'd use the Term "Curse Card" personally, although Curse is a synonym for Spell
|
Aarikku
|
Not all Traps in Shmod are curses, but most of them are Hazards.
|
Naardaas
|
That is true.
It just sounds kinda strange.
|
Aarikku
|
Probably because it hasn't been the terminology for a card game yet. You're used to 'Trap'.
|
Pyrah
|
How about:
Arcana = Spell
Hazard = Trap
I think it would sound cool if you* said: "I place 1 Arcana on the field, etc..." Sounds right in my head.
* you as in people in general
|
Aarikku
|
A bit too 'tarot-y', but I like your thinking.
|
Naardaas
|
I agree with the Shape-Shifter. Arcana sounds too much like Tarot.
The term Arcane, on the other hand, is a bit less like Tarot.
|
Aarikku
|
Arcane, however, is an adjective. I'm looking for something more noun...ular.
Oh, and about Traps/Hazards/Whatevers... what if I just removed the type and made them Quickplay Spells?
|
Naardaas
|
Actually, that's not a bad idea Leric. Or Lightning Dragon. Or Tetra Element. Or whoever the Hell you are.
|
Aarikku
|
It's an avatar. You're supposed to change it when you get bored of it.
|
Naardaas
|
I know that Card Guru.
|
Pyrah
|
Whatever, I like my idea and that's what I'll call it when we actually get to play the game in real-life. As for the avatar thing, I like GIR. :3
