Hi, I'm new to the PA forums, but I've followed the comic for years. Anyways, I've created a card game based on Starcraft that I've been trying to spread a little (on battle.net and teamliquid), with very mild success. I was hoping maybe some gaming people from other communities might be interested.

I've written up a pdf describing the rules and posted it on mediafire: http://www.mediafire.com/download.php?wnywdfvvtzz

It is a fairly lengthy pdf, unfortunately, but if you have a friend willing to give the game a shot with you, I assure you, there is enjoyment and a fair bit of strategical depth to it. I've played through a number of times, and the balance seems okay (but is not necessarily perfect by any means; random chance makes balance a little more difficult).

By no means do I expect everyone to sit down immediately and play it for hours on end or anything; in fact, if even one other person enjoys it, I'll consider it a success.

If you have any suggestions/question​​s/clarifications, please do not hesitate to reply to this thread, as I would be more than happy to assist anyone willing to give the game a shot.

Regarding Online play, this program simulates a tabletop with decks of cards. I have a server running locally on my machine (whenever I'm home).

VirtualDeck: http://www.rlsoftwar​es.com/baralhovirtual​/index.php
msvcr71.dll: http://www.dll-files​.com/dllindex/dll-fil​es.shtml?msvcr71 (place in virtual deck install folder)

Join the M:SC server and I can give anyone a hand if they need it!
