TCG Interview #92: Master of Mages


I spoke with the creator of Master of Mages. Here are his answers to my questions! 

Q: Please describe your trading card game!

A: Master of Mages is a game based off of high school students and mages in an institution called the Spellcasters Academy. The students are battling an internal and external threat causing them use powerful magic against their adversaries. 

Q: What inspired you to create your own TCG?
A: About a year ago I was thinking of a game that teens and adults can play that has some real-life concepts. I woke up one morning and starting brainstorming ideas until I came up with the game's mechanics. And soon created a checklist with over 300 cards.  

Q: What TCGs did you grow up playing as a kid?
A: I grew up collecting the Pokemon TCG. I have some family members that got off into Yugioh but it was nowhere close in comparison. 

Q: What sets Master of Mages apart from other TCGs?
A: Master of Mages has a mechanic that comes close to stopping players from having a bad hand in the very beginning of the game. And you have some control over what spells, lands, creatures, etc that you want to send to your hand. 

Q: How did you come up with the name Master of Mages?
A:  It was several names that I thought of but wasnt good enough. But in the storyline there's different classes of mages with some being way more powerful than others.

Q: How long have you been working on the game?
A: The game has been in the making for over a year.

Q: What is the illustration/design process like?
A: The design process was different because it has all different types of art. And there's a collaboration of artists from different projects and backgrounds.

Q: What are your future plans for Master of Mages?
A: Master of Mages is an ongoing game. I have ideas for future sets that haven't been created yet. 

Q: Will you be at any upcoming conventions?
A: At the moment, there's no conventions that's on the schedule but in the future that may change.

Q: Do you have any advice for someone looking to make their own TCG?
A: I'd like to tell new content creators to never hesitate on pursuing your goals and committing to something that you love.

TCG Interview #74: Ward

I spoke to the creators of WARD! Here are their answers to my questions:  Q: Please describe your trading card game! A: Ward is a trading card game that blends aspects from other popular TCGs like Pokemon, Yugioh, and Magic: The Gathering, but adds a Dungeons and Dragons style, dice rolling, battle system. We then simplified all aspects/systems so anyone can learn how to play with ease. Q: What inspired you to create your own TCG? A: Ward was inspired by creator Joe Casey when he decided to buy a few packs of a new card game (We will not say which). He had always loved card games of any type, Pokemon, Yugioh, Magic, Cribbage, Poker, and so many more. He brought the packs home, opened them up and read the rules in order to play it. For several hours, he and another future Ward associate, could not figure out the rules or general layout of playing the game. YouTube videos did not explain it well either. Eventually, they gave up and moved on. The idea for Ward was not created on this ...

I spoke with Rob Eames, the creator of Disc Cards- h ere are his answers to my questions!  Q: Please describe your trading card game! A: I have always thought of it as a child of Magic: the Gathering and Yahtzee lineage, with Disc Golf  serving as the Midwife.
