The far, far future
This is a vague recomendation, not honestly a suggestion. Perhaps at some point in the future this could be adapted for use for online CCGs? There is no decent generic CCG engine online, so I thought it worth suggesting, because if one gets made, you guys could probably do the best, cleanest job of it. If someone sees a good engine, please post it.
NOTE that I don't suggest this for anytime in the foreseeable future, just that I think it a good idea, maybe for a future project.

Interesting... How would you make the cards if it was "generic"? Scan them in perhaps...
You could play via e-mail with this...

You would still have to make the cards, etc

Well, for openers it would need a way to set up multiple random decks of cards, from images, move them around, set states (tapped, equipped, energy attached, etc.) set a background image, show and hide cards, maybe allow effects to be applied to certain cards, and be able to destroy cards and look back through destroyed cards, recover destroyed cards, add tokens, and keep track of various things, life totals, etc. This was a very rough list of general CCG components, not a perfectly polished list. Also, I have only played Magic and a bit of Pokemon, two games, so I am not a general expert.

Looks like this might be one http://lackeyccg.com/trevor wrote:Interesting. So we have two tools to make the cards, now just need an engine to play the game over the net

You guys could beat this. This needs plugins to adapt to different games, because it (i think) has the rules for each game it plays built in to it, and you could probably do a generic one that will work for most CCGs just like MapTool works for about any conceivable RPG. I, at least, would prefer this.Looks like someone beat us to it

Speaking of card games, I think it would be nifty if we had an add-on or seperate program to play Three-Dragon Ante in our online games. Just a pipe-dream, of course.
