Forumini AAM Deck Feasibility Thread

I can think of three, maybe four times this has been tried on the land side and it usually stumbled to a halt as people got busy and lost interest. The economic reality of trying to print off a big enough run, and the costs it would incur, doomed the process that probably moved the furthest along as they tried to replicate the success of the Forumini WAS decks. Just wasn't a big enough mass of AAM players to justify the print run and forum has gotten smaller since then. The WAS side had a couple financial backers to make it through the first couple decks (Weedsrock and 12-7 Games) and I think they probably both lost money in the end.


That said, if someone or a group, decided to put together a Forumini official AAM card set, I think the best approach would be to make the cards available in an electronic format that easy is to transfer into the files of the online printers that offer the playing card printing options. I have printed off several custom cards over the years with this approach and it is usually pretty easy to do and with a little shopping around, economically feasible as well.

I see a Forumini deck requiring a consistent look, a logo for the back (most of printers allow this option), and a concise voting process to make them "Forumini legal"

Where the process often broke down before was the endless polls and votes about which units to include and then trying to shoehorn in stats, play testing, and special abilities. I think this is where borrowing from pre-existing cards (already designed by custom makers over the year) and then an up/down vote on whether to include it as written would streamline the process. Card gets voted in, reformatted into the Forumini look, and then added to the official file that a player could then pull from and print which ones they wanted (but all the cards would be Forumini official).
