What is Open R&D?

[joshlytle]

Im so excited for this Josh. Way to go. Im glad that you have found a way to keep the fan base on your side. I will have to start logging in daily again.

Well that's good to hear. I hope you have a few ideas saved up to share as well.

I took a little break from all card games and have not been around on this site in quite some time, but man am I glad I randomly decided to check in. I think this is a great idea and I really hope some great things come out of it.

I'm not sure if this has been talked about already, but what about multi-factioned thresholds.

I like the idea of open R&D but it will only work if people stop trying to make amazingly powerful cards. People want to say i made that tournament staple card but if these cards are neutered and then sent to print in the process what will your reaction be? the creation of cards is fun but everyone has to realize that things have to be fair and balanced. A really powerful card that is agressively priced and has a low threshold will never make the cut, so stop making them and then getting all defensive when people say you need to cut back on the power level.

sorry about the rant but i feel it needs to be said at least once during this process

Well, rest assured that I'll catch what I can before we actually finalize the card concept! What I'm good at is sifting through ideas and helping to guide them to a workable card. What you're good at is coming up with lots of ideas to be sifted through.

It's a great combination, but I'll still offer guidance and feedback to anyone making cards that are too good.

Shouldn't this be waive?

I have a question: will tell us when our ideas are going be printed. Or some day I'll surprise looking at the printed card?

Which cards will be printed in a new set will remain a well kept secret until the day it releases. So yes, you may be pleasantly surprised in a new set one day
(of course we cannot guarantee that every card will make its way into an actual set)
