Boyband: The Clockman Boys

[Sigorion]

I just realized how awesome it would be with a boyband in the setting of The Spoils. I'm thinking that these (obviously five) young male sexobjects could be found upon new resources in the same manner as the seed: children of the lingamorph babes.

I'm not sure what I think rulewise but it should be five characters one from each trade. I was thinking about a threshold of about (?)(?)(?) each but with a ruletext such as:

"When this card is in play you may play (another specific character from the same boyband) without meeting its threshold."

As such you could make a Clockman Boys deck which will be pretty risky thresholdwise but should get a pretty big payoff if you succeed.

I was thinking about a monstrosity with tentacles for arcanist, the guy without fangirls but the experts say that he's the voice and character of the band.

For banker I thought of a Mau with a lot of chest hair and maybe sunglasses, perhaps a lot of hip-hop "bling".

Gearsmith needs an 3lf, maybe with a small and cute archetype (thinking anime bishonen style).

Rogue could be the fangirl favourite (it could actually be a Pluck, with costume change and all), lean with a bandana and maybe a vest (or topless).


For warlord it could be a badboy with a bandaid on his cheek and maybe a military overall pulled down so that all the scars on his torso are visable.

So; thoughts about flavour, the concept and rules?

I think this is a really good and fun idea!

[Michael (Arcane Tinmen)]

Lol - I like this idea very much :)

[Banker1701]

Ha! that is a funny idea :-)

Perhaps you could do a tour bus and an arena, that are five trade cards as well.

Seems wacky enough for me.

For your rogue:


I would do anything for you

Cost: If this character is destroyed, deplete this character. Pick a character you control and destroy it instead.
Reduce the damage to this character to 0.


All the boys to the yard

Cost: Deplete this card, pick a face down-character
Effect: Play the character


Going Solo

Cost: Pay 5, play a face down-ressource
Effect: Put this character into play from your discard-pile

Though I think, I went somewhat overboard

Perhaps you could do a tour bus and an arena, that are five trade cards as well.

The Arena could be their faction - and the Tour Bus a faction ability - or something like that. I like it ;)

[Sigorion]

Love the "I would do anything for you" ability. The other abilities are cool as well but just not as spot on, imo. Maybe for the other members.

Like the idea of a faction also. : )

I think it'd be cool if the characters were obviously based on some real life artists. I'm not all that good with celebrities though, any ideas there?

(Also I had a small thought that the tentacle feind would be kicked out of the band (and replaced with a more popular figure) at some point and (try to) start a solo career. But that might be cooler to save to a later set, if at all. :P

Maybe for that same tentacle boy:
Taste my VOICE!
Cost: Deplete this card, pick a character, item or location that your opponent controlls.
Effect: Shuffle the picked card into it's owners deck. Reveal cards from the top of your opponents deck until you reveal a character, item or location. Put the revealed card into play and the other cards in on the bottom of the deck in an order of your choice.

(Slightly based on the pokemon move: Roar.)
