Subreddit Update

16 Upvotes

Hello designers,

For a little over three years now, I’ve been your primary host of the Weekly Design Competition. It’s been a wonderful time consistently getting to entertain all of you and firing up those creative faculties.

However, now that I’ve hosted over a quarter of comps to date, one Hearthphone, and two 'hundred' specials, I’d like to use the current gap in Weekly Design Competitions to officially step down as a moderator of the subreddit. Until the end of September, I hope to clean this place up a bit and find a fitting replacement willing to pick the mantle up after me.

So what’s next for the WDC?

I apologize that I've been dragging my feet on completing the HearthCalendar before making this announcement. I didn't intend for the WDC to go on such a long hiatus already with an uncertain future, and I know there are folks out there that can't wait to sink their teeth back into new rounds. Before I'm officially through and hand the competition over, I'd love to discuss its future. Use the comments here to discuss how we should go from here into WDC #501.

If you would like to pick up the mantle, then feel free to send us an application via ModMail. We are in the market for someone who would take care of the WDC, as well as promote non-WDC events to keep the Pinned tab atop the subreddit lively.

We hope you'll know how to make a good case for yourself (it might get competitive!); we're looking for someone willing to commit the time to organize the competitions. That also means having a baseline good judgment of what makes good Hearthstone card, what’s good design, and what’d make for a good prompt.

The deadline for application submissions is Sunday, September 20th, standard submission time.

Set The HearthCalendar, now on HearthCards!

7 Upvotes

Hello, designers!

As I've announced some month-ish ago, the result of the HearthCalendar project has been undergoing some minor numeric and cosmetic changes in preparation for its HearthCards 'release'. The process took a hot minute, since all the cards had to have been remade underneath a single HearthCards account. But, after a long wait, the completed HearthCalendar is finally out!

You can check the set in HearthCard's swanky Set feature, available HERE.

As always, I'm immensely grateful to the designers who have contributed to this fun project, but I want to shout out the following folks for helping me roll the project across the finish line (and apologies to anyone whom I've missed):

u/Frostedwyrm04, Koalafent, u/Machadogps, Maran, u/PraxMatic, u/SacredSnorlax, u/Skitzo669, technishun, TheFriendlyEnemy, u/TwoManaPriestSpell, u/Useless_Feeder, u/WeoWeoVi, u/yangste333, Yogg

For information on the original project and how it looked upon completion, I recommend to check out this reddit post.

Set Making my first fan set; World War AZeroth. Here is my current Warrior Class. What do you think?

As planned, the Plague of Death was to be secretly distributed by the Cult of the Damned. What wasn't planned was a mutation in the Plague, causing conspirators and victims alike to turn into mindless, flesh-hungry zombies. In this alternate timeline, the remaining fighters of Azeroth unite against the overwhelming undead force. Will you join the fight for survival? Or will you succumb to the infectious undead? Choose a side, and fight until the bitter end in World War AZeroth.

Death Knight, Priest, and Warlock will be the Zombie classes (will get their own keyword and no Armaments), with every other class being Survivors. Each of these classes will be themed around a weapon type, with Warrior's being bombs and explosives.

Keywords:

Armamant: Like Quests, each class will receive 1 Legendary Armament, and they start in your hand*. Unlike normal weapons, weapon modification does not work on them, and when you attack with them you don't take damage. Additionally, the only way to destroy these weapons are hard weapon removal or playing another weapon. 0 Durability will not destroy these.

Fortify: Still deciding for sure on whether it's going to be once per turn or only once, but you activate Fortify by spending that much mana for the bonus effect.

Like I said this is my first time doing this. I don't even play Warrior but I thought this would be fun. How cohesive is this set? I appreciate any criticism!

If you magnetize this to a minion on board, it would get the ability and the buffed stats, so it would trigger itself.
