What I intend to do is have him on a few events, maybe even base a deck type with a few events based around gaining his favor. April May, Dahlia and other characters that are usually able to persuade him will probably mesh well with those events. So, a predominately female based deck type that plays off of the Judge in addition to a Dr. Hotti that plays off of the females is probably what I'll end up doing.

It's in the first post, all the phases are in order.

Pickens wrote:

Phase 1: The Draw Phase- Both Players Draw 2 cards.

Phase 2: Main Phase- Ready all of your Witnesses that have testified to testify again (turn them vertically again). You may play Witnesses, evidence, or play events that may be played during the main phase. You may only play witnesses who's total cost when added together equals 5 or less in any given turn.

Phase 3: Cross Examination- Your witnesses may testify against your opponent's witnesses, you may use events, and you may use any effects that may be used during the Cross Examination phase.

Phase 4: The End Phase- Discard any witnesses with zero credibility, use any effects that may be used during the end phase.

Then you and your opponent repeats the same process (excluding the start of the game actions) until one of you wins the game!

Also, to clarify the whole "Playing witnesses whose cost add up to 5" thing. It means you can play something like 2 witnesses that cost 2 and 1 that costs 1, 5 witnesses that cost 1, 1 witness that costs 3 and one that costs 2, 2 that cost 2, 1 that costs 4 and 1 that costs 1, 1 that costs 5, etc.

"The Edgeworth Legacy", hm... Sounds like a very useful card. Will each main personality have their own exclusive event card like that one? One that only they can use? That'd make the games a lot more interesting... Maybe also anti-MP cards that one MP CAN'T use, or counter-MP cards which can only be used AGAINST a specific MP.

An example would be:
Earthquake
Edgeworth's Greatest fear.
Can only be used when your opponent's Main Personality is Miles Edgeworth. <insert something detrimental to opponent here>

Thank you for reading. I hope you have a wonderful day.

There will be more MP specific cards, but solely anti MP cards probably won't exist. Those are typically useless unless there's a sideboard mechanic or one MP is widely used. Anti MP cards will probably go a bit like this:

Earthquake:
End the current Cross Examination phase. If your opponent's Main Personality is Miles Edgeworth, they must discard a piece of evidence they control. Miles Edgeworth's effect does not apply to this effect.

There may be cards that certain MPs cannot use as well.

This is a great idea! I can't wait to try this out! I just wanted to point out though, that the image used for 'Edgeworth's Knife' is actually Joe Darke's Switchblade knife, you can see this if you look close enough. I don't think it matters though, that image looks really cool on the card.

Wow, it's continuing to look good... If I had some money and some friends that liked PW, I'd definitely try this out if/whenever you decide to market this... Also, I'm glad that our feedback is making a difference. Anyway, I agree. The way you take it with the anti-MP effects just being side-effects of other cards is a much better idea. That makes it much deeper.

Thank you for reading. I hope you have a wonderful day.

Wow. I've actually been involved with card games for a long time (mostly because the cards look really pretty...-.-') but this game actually looks like something I could get into and actually play. Ignoring the fact that no one I know is involved with PW-no matter! The cards look really great, too. However, I do have one question. I think that the whole "Cross-Examination" part of the game is a little...sketchy. I mean, how would you contradict the witnesses with the evidence? How does the evidence actually do anything to the witnesses? I went back and read the phases, but it seems to skip over the part where you're actually "battling" using evidence and witnesses. I know that the answer is probably really obvious, but it's just a bit confusing. :payne:

But I still think it has a bunch of promise, which is why I sig linked it! Even though the sig has nothing to do with the topic...but still.

Well, if we have someone who knows code (thereby ruling me out) an Apprentice patch could be made, adding the PW cards to the system in place of the Magic cards already there. The game's interaction would have to be controlled a bit differently, but I've seen Apprentice used for non-Magic games before, so I know it's feasible, so long as both players are comfortable with the rules and the way the cards work.

The only things that really "battle" are the witnesses. The evidence has a constant effect on the game. As opposed to presenting evidence during cross examination, you have to play it during the main phase. Cross Examination goes a little something like this:

Say Player A won the dice roll/coin toss at the start of the game and decides to go first

-Player A chooses an opponent's witness and expends one of his own witnesses (this can be compared to other card game's "attacks")

-Player B can either decide to take the total amount of "damage" from the opposing witness' Testimony stat or they can expend their witness to prevent an amount of damage equal to their witness' credibility. If Player B's Witness' Testimony is higher than Player A's then Player A's witness takes damage equal to the difference between the two witness's Testimony.

These phases keep going until the two players pass consecutively. Also note that instead of testifying, a player may play an event during Cross Examination.

I know it seems kind of confusing reading it, but once I get the set made and online and I can start playing Demo games with people, it should get easier.

I intend to use a program similar to Apprentice called Magic Workstation. It's a bit better because it can use images as opposed to purely text based cards. I know a guy who can make the sets for me, so it's no problem. It works really well for games other than magic too; I've used it from everything from Pokemon to Bleach.

Sorry for only updating with THREE cards ='( But here's what I've got. I've been busy with exams lately, but now that I've got over a week off, I should be able to work on the game some more.

I don't know if I've explained spirits before, but I will now. Here's how they work.

1) Spirits may only be played by channeling them.
2) You channel spirits by expending a Spirit Medium you control during the Main Phase. You attach the channeled spirit to the Spirit Medium that channeled it.
3) At the start of the next main phase, all channeled spirits are put into a pile. Once there are 8 Spirits in that pile, you win the game.

Here are the two spirits I have made so far:

Spoiler: Case 2-2

And a Spirit Medium support character:

Also, if you'll remember to when I first restarted this project, I made a Spirit Medium as my first witness character:

Also, to answer all of those comments:

I don't plan on marketing this, since I'd imagine the actual licensing would cost more than I actually have, not to mention printing etc. But, I do intend to have this be playable with a special program over the internet.

As for GS4 characters, the original plan was to omit them from my first release, having it be just GS1-3, and then going back later on and making an expansion that included them (and possibly manga characters as well) after the game was released in the US. Since the project is moving so slowly though, I might just include them in the initial release. It all depends though, because from a gameplay standpoint, it makes a little more sense to hold off on the GS4 characters until after the initial release so I can boost certain deck types after people have had the opportunity to test the game out.

Oh, and the "Miracle Never Happen" thing. That's actually pretty humorous, I may include that.

I intend to make magicians eventually. Max Galactica will probably be the first one I create, and the GS4 ones will come later.

I've made some new cards, so I'll go ahead and post them. Here are my policemen:

Spoiler: Case 1-5

And I took a cue from The Fishstick Lady and made Yanni and Polly. I did some adjusting to fit a few deck types I had in mind, but I kept the names:

Spoiler: Case 1-4

And this is pretty obvious, since I've made it once before, but I've gone ahead and made the image for OBJECTION!.

EDIT: Polly has a typo, It'll be fixed in the full set released online, but the missing word is "witness". Yanni also has a typo, "Good" is supposed to be "Neutral".

I didn't think much of it at the time other than portraying a villain. I am older, looking back see how unacceptable & disgusting. I removed the comments because I do not wish to condone this behaviour. But of course fragments remain. I can only apologise for any hurt of distress caused.

I made the update to the first post, though I think I still need to add a few more rules to it. I adressed the Yanni problem in the post where I posted him. A Gant like that may be made, though I'd probably just edit the second one I made to include that.

I have this question about the normal Larry witness card.

"When this card is played, choose an occupation'. I don't really see a point, 'cuz I don't see how occupations has an effect on the game. Correct me if I'm wrong, I'm just wondering.

Well, SJB, it depends on what else you have in play. Set Larry to Spirit Medium, and you could use Bikini, Head of Hazakurain's ability to spare his credibility if he's being testified against. Set him to Mobster, and he bounces to your hand when discarded from court if you control Bruto Cadaverini (Evidence). By itself, it does nothing, but in the context of your deck, that can be a very powerful ability.

New stuff and information today! I am currently in the process of making 2 demo theme decks so people can try out the game. There will be a Phoenix Theme deck and an Edgeworth theme deck. I have for you today, 7 cards that may or may not make it into the Phoenix Theme deck:

Spoiler: Case 1-4

Spoiler: Case 2-4
